It was lovely to wander around our school this morning and see all of the fantastic things happening in our crew sessions – we had children reflecting on their howls, sharing stories and talking about their feelings using our zones of regulation. What a way to start the day!

We will be celebrating Better World Day on Thursday 5th May (a day early). We are asking children to come into school wearing something blue or yellow. We are asking for voluntary contributions of 50p to raise money to send funds directly into Ukraine to support those in need. We will be talking about Better World Day in crew this week too.
Thank you all for your support,

In crew this week we have been discussing the importance of keeping active and the effect it has on our well being. We thought about some of the activities we could do that would be fun, got moving on the playground and finally made pledges to take part in a range of fun and healthy activities this week.
We have also had great fun in P.E starting our new cheerleading unit and learning all the different shapes we will be able to put into our dances. Some of us are working extra hard to prepare for a competition at Campsmount later this term.
Yesterday we were very lucky to be visited by Geoff and his drone. He talked to the children about aerial photography and different ways we can take photos. We then went outside and watched Geoff fly his drone 120 meters up in the air! He took some amazing photos of school and the surrounding areas.
Thursday 21st April (Year 2 -9.00-9.30)
Friday 22nd April (Year 1 – 9.00 – 9.30)
In our next expedition we are looking in detail at Norton and our local area, including the history of our school and community. We would like to invite family members to an informal coffee morning where you can have a drink and a bun while sharing your experiences of how Norton and our school have changed over the years. If you have experience of living in a contrasting area too then it would be great for the children to be able to compare. Even better, if you have old photographs to share then we would love to see them.
Thank you

It was so lovely to complete our daily mile in the sunshine today. It woke us up after lunch and helped us to feel alert and ready for maths.
We’ve had fun choosing and applying addition strategies in our maths games this week.
A wonderful day spent celebrating reading for pleasure.
This week we have been considering the question ‘What is geography?’ We took part in a scavenger hunt around school to photograph clues that helped us to answer the question. We studied a variety of maps identifying their features and finally located the 7 continents and 5 oceans of the world.
This week Class 3 have been exploring habitats and the animals that live there. We’ve researched with our partners using books and the internet and have enjoyed watching lots of interesting videos that have helped us to learn more about habitats around the world. We are looking forward to completing our presentations and sharing them in crew.
