Superhero Training Day
Category : Class 4
Our First Expert Visitor – Author & Illustrator Phil Sheppard
Today we were lucky enough to welcome our very first expert visitor of the expedition – the brilliant author and illustrator Phil Sheppard!
Phil shared some of his fantastic stories with us, and we especially loved The Worm Book. There were plenty of laughs and lots of fun as he brought the story to life while reading aloud.
Afterwards, we took part in a draw along where we learned how to create our very own superheroes. The children did an amazing job and showed off some fantastic creativity!
To make the day even more special, we had the opportunity to buy our very own signed book by Phil – a real treasure to keep.
We all agreed that Phil truly deserved one of our special Community Hero awards for his craftsmanship and the quality of his work. What an inspiring start to our expedition!
Year 1- learning about significant people
Feely bags and the match box challenge
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!
Beautiful work
We created Peter Thorpe inspired rockets.
Year One celebrate the 80th Anniversary of VE Day
Wearing red, white and blue the children in Year One joined in with today’s VE Day celebrations. After learning about and discussing the importance of VE Day we enjoyed fish and chips for lunch and created some fabulous WW2 spitfires.
World Maths Day 2025
We spent time celebrating World Maths Day in our key stage one community meeting this morning. We thought about when we use maths outside of school, why it is important and we even talked about some famous mathematicians!
We finished our community meeting with some maths puzzles. I was very impressed how people were grappling to solve the problems!
