We were super excited this morning to take part in our very special assembly. Mr West visited our school again and this time he taught us about the Christmas celebrations. We enjoyed acting out the Christmas story, singing Christmas songs and discussing the meaning of Christmas. We loved learning about this special festival and we are looking forward to exploring it further in our RE lessons. Thank you Mr West for making this time of year even more magical for our school!
Thank you to everyone who came to our presentation of learning this afternoon. It was amazing to see the children talking so confidently about their expedition so far.
In Year One we have been thinking about the past and how things were different when our older relatives were children. We looked at toys and other everyday household objects and sorted them onto a Venn diagram. This caused lots of discussions and we used words such as ‘then’, ‘now’, ‘past’, ‘present’ and ‘a long time ago’.
We have celebrated our crew champions in our Community Meeting today! It was lovely to hear crew leaders and children talk about each others howls and character traits.
Well done to all this week’s recipients.
Today the KS1 children and families were extremely kind as they donated many items to be given to the Askern CRY Foodbank. We were overwhelmed by the generosity of our families and look forward to seeing our foodbank experts very soon to give them our donations.
We had a visit before our march from Mr West and Mr McLaughlin – from Askern CRY Food Bank and St. Peter’s Church to give us more information about the foodbank we are supporting and the difference we are going to make to our community.
We have had a great week exploring Pop Art. We have looked at pieces of Pop Art by famous artists and said we we notice and praise about them. We then used pencils, paints and felt tip pens to start to create our own versions of Pop Art. We can’t wait to finish our posters, they will look amazing.
We were really lucky this week that National Poetry Day was on the same day as our community meeting! In crew we have been sharing, writing and performing poetry in preparation for today. Instead of our usual ‘news from the crews’ we had our very own poetry jam. It was brilliant to hear the children performing the poetry they have been enjoying this week to all of the other crews.
Thank you for an awesome community meeting 😀

Today we went for a walk around our beautiful grounds. We looked at the changes that are happening around us now it is Autumn. What a great way to start the day.
