This week we have been thinking about what happens to creatures as they grow. ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’ has been the perfect text for us to read and the children have enjoyed looking at the life cycle of a butterfly. The children acted out the story in our story circle, I was very impressed by our acting skills!
We have used our key text to create some beautiful work this week! Take a look at some of our descriptive writing about ‘The Hungry Caterpillar’…
This week in class 1, we had a special visit from the Animal Club. The children enjoyed learning some fascinating facts from the ranger. We got up close with a hissing cockroach, a giant African snail, a horned frog, a spiny tailed lizard, a black beauty stick insect, a tarantula and a cute little mouse!
We are looking forward to starting our first case study next week where we will be finding out more about animals and insects and we will be answering the question ‘what happens to creatures as they grow?’ Our special visitors hooked us into our new expedition perfectly!
This morning the children enjoyed distributing their kindness calendars to every class across Norton Campus. They were very well received and we put smiles on lots of faces. We are all looking forward to showing we care in 2025 and completing the random acts of kindness each month.
We then enjoyed some party games in the hall and of course a little Christmas boogie…
We had some very special visitors today and Santa himself brought us all a special present! We are pleased to announce we are all on his good list 🙂
We’ve had a fabulous day and we would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas xxxx
The children in classes 1 and 2 blew us away this morning with their performance. They sang so beautifully and our ‘Christmas Conga’ definitely got everyone in the Christmas spirit!
Our Kindness Elves left us a lovely message and a delicious treat that the children enjoyed after their performance. Well done to each and everyone of you, you were all stars xx
Crew Chadwick have enjoyed some outdoor crew activities this week. We used natural materials to create different animals. Take a look at some of our creations…
We had a lovely hot chocolate and Christmas story. We checked out with a high five or a hug 🙂
Huge thanks to Mrs Jackson for organising these activities! Crew Chadwick loved being outside 🙂 xx
It was lovely to celebrate all of the hard work we have seen in Reception classes this week. Some great examples of working hard, being kind and getting smart. Well done Reception.
The children came into school today full of excitement. We began the day by drawing our very own snowman. Here are some of our beautiful drawings…
The children were eager to get outside in the snow. We had a magical time outside and there were smiles all around! We are all hoping for more snow very soon 🙂
Well done to all of our amazing HoWLs stars of the week. It was lovely to hear how you are all being kind, working hard and getting smart. You are all amazing role models – keep up the super work!
