Hook Week Fun
We are having great fun learning all about music this week. We have enjoyed listening and dancing to Abba songs (our musician of the week). We have also made our own songs up and have been exploring musical instruments. We are looking forward to an exciting expedition this term.
XP on tour!
Today, we were really lucky, Geoff and Dave came to perform for us. We really enjoyed experiencing live music. We even got to join in and become musicians – we sang a Beatles song!
Musician of the Week
As I’m sure the children have told you – as part of this expedition, one of our ongoing case studies is going to be Music. To help us ensure the children are exposed to a wide range of musicians and genres, both past and present, we are going to be having a musician of the week.
We will be listening to music from the artist/s each morning as the children enter the classroom and we will be learning more about the artist as the week goes on.
Each week we will add a playlist to our website and ClassDojo pages, this will enable you to share in the Musician of the Week and listen along at home too!
We had a great time this morning dancing around the classroom to our first musician/s – Abba!
Enjoy,

Key Stage One Student Led Conferences
Hello parents/carers,
As the Autumn term draws to a close and we all begin to wind down for the Christmas break, we would like to invite parents and carers into school during the first two weeks back in January to attend your child’s student-led conference (SLC).
In this 10 minute session, your child, accompanied by their teacher or crew leader, will walk you through their journey so far. Children will talk about their achievements, challenges and next steps as well as showing you their favourite pieces of beautiful work.
Days are Monday (9th), Tuesday (10th), Wednesday (11th) There are morning, afternoon and evening slots available.
Please complete the form below by the deadline which is Thursday 15th December at 5pm.
Many thanks,
Key Stage One Team xx
In Class 3 we have been busy designing and making:
Fun Friday in Class 3!
Today we came to school dressed in non uniform to raise funds for Children in Need.
We had lots of fun activities to complete throughout the day:
We really enjoyed designing and then making….and eating biscuits!! Thank you for all of your contributions to Children in Need.
Exploring materials and their properties
We then used different materials to build castles so that we could predict and test what happens to the materials when they are exposed to wind and rain:
We labelled the properties of the materials before deciding which materials would be the best to use.
A book look with a difference . . .
Miss Tunney and I have had the most lovely day! We wanted to see and hear about all the amazing learning going on across our campus, so rather than sit in our office flicking through work, we invited the owners of the exercise books to share their work instead.
We have had children in our early years reciting We’re Going on a Bear Hunt with actions, students in key stage one sharing some fantastic knowledge about castles and how their expert visitor helped them towards answering their guiding question, lower key stage two being so enthusiastic about their core text, The Lion and the Unicorn and finally year five and six explaining how clear and specific critique has helped them to improve their work into versions they are incredibly proud of.
To all of those children who shared their learning with us, thank you. It was a real privilege to hear about your learning so far this year. You all spoke confidently and showed real enthusiasm for your expeditions and the beautiful work you are producing.
Mrs Parsons and Miss Tunney xx
