In Class Three we have been studying and taking inspiration from the American artist Deborah Shapiro. She uses newspapers and magazines to create wildlife collage artwork. It was so much fun spotting the hidden words and images within the artwork during our gallery walk in the classroom.
We worked together to create our class collage.
We are incredibly proud of our beautiful work!
This morning Year 2 have had a virtual school visit with the author of How To Train Your Dragon – Cressida Cowell. We got to watch the new trailer for the film as well as listen to Cressida read extracts from her book and answer questions.
The children enjoyed creating our very own stories in crew. We let our imaginations guide the way and came up with some exciting stories. Once our stories were finished, Crew Chadwick and Crew Inman shared stories with one another. It was a great way to start the day…
Well done to all of our postcard winners today…..we had lots to share and celebrate!! We heard some lovely examples of children leading their own learning, being creative, doing teamwork and persevering with tasks. Another fabulous week in our Nursery and Reception classes.
This morning, we had a wonderful Stay and Read session in the sunshine, and it truly was a lovely way to start the day. It was so special to see children reading to adults, adults reading to children, and everyone enjoying a quiet moment surrounded by books.
A huge thank you to all the parents and carers who joined us—it was extra special as it marked the final Stay and Read for your child at Norton Infant School. We’re so grateful for your continued support and for sharing these moments with us.
This afternoon the children in Reception enjoyed a beautiful walk in the sunshine. We explored our school grounds and found an amazing collection of natural objects. We also spent time sat on the logs, relaxing and listening to the sounds of nature we could hear all around us.
When we came back inside the classroom we investigated and described our collection of natural objects. We then produced some beautiful work to represent what we saw and heard on our walk. We feel very lucky to have such beautiful surroundings.
Here are our HoWLs stars of the week from Nursery and Reception. It was so lovely to hear how hard the youngest children in our school are working. We heard about some amazing acts of kindness and great examples of hard work and teamwork. Well done to all of our postcard winners today.
This week the children have considered the mistakes that were made in the story of ‘The Little Red Riding Hood’. We thought carefully about what we would say to the wolf in the story. We took turns to be the wolf and the children came to the front to speak to the wolf. The children showed sensitivity, acceptance and kindness in their words.
The children have written down the kind words that they would say and have produced some fantastic sentences…
Well done Class 1 🙂
Crew Goodyer enjoyed taking part in some fun crew sessions outdoors this week led by Mrs Jackson. We began by using our senses to explore and describe objects found out in our school grounds.
We then took part in the matchbox challenge to see which team could fit the most objects into a matchbox. Frankie and Eliza were excited to be named champions!
