Crew buddies

We have had a wonderful time this week meeting our crew buddies from Year 6. They visited our class and read us a lovely story. Today we have came into their classroom to share some yummy biscuits with them.

What a perfect Friday

We have had a wonderful day celebrating our beautiful work. This week we have been very busy playing our phonics screening games, reading alien words and lots of tricky words. We all did a fantastic job! Today we have had a party with our aliens enjoying music, dancing and cooling down in a shade.

We love sharing good stories

We love reading and sharing stories with our friends. Every morning we take turns to read a book in front of our class. We are very kind and we praise children for trying their best, supporting each other and reading with enthusiasm. We love our class reading crew!

Walking to school challenge

We have had a really fun week walking to school and completing our daily mile challenge. Well done everybody for your incredible effort. We have earned some lovely stickers, biscuits and juice. Freya has received a special certificate for walking to school every day all the way from Askern. Well done Freya.

Outdoor learning

We had lots of fun counting forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s. We used different objects to make groups and used some mathematical language to describe our thinking. We loved writing in our class and in our choosing time some children created some lovely stories.

This week in Class 4

We have had a great week working incredibly hard on our writing, maths and phonics. We worked in our teams sharing facts about King Charles. We had a special treat from Year 6 children who visited us and read us a story. They gave us some biscuits for our beautiful spelling.

Austerfield fieldwork

Year 1 had an amazing time visiting Austerfield Study Centre. We were very excited to join orienteering and woodland explore sessions. The children were brilliant listening and following instructions well, showing their interest and enthusiasm making Norton School super proud. Well done everybody.

Final Touches and Bear-ginng our farewells!

The finishing touches have been added to our bear cub, with Olivia completing his head and each child from the foundation stage putting their hand print on his back as part of our community crew. All that remained to do, was for the logos to be attached and the bear to be varnished before Crewso began his journey to Leeds to join the Leeds Bear Hunt for the summer.

Crewso said his farewells to Norton and began his journey all shiny and proud, to represent the children of Norton Campus!

He was excited to meet his new temporary crew when he arrived in Leeds, stopping for a minute to take in the view of the River Aire across Rose Wharf in the sunshine. Then he happily climbed the stairs and joined his pack ready to be situated in his new home somewhere in Leeds City Centre. He’s going to let us know exactly where he is soon, so that we can all go and visit him! Have fun Crewso! #leedsbearhunt #leedsbearhunt2023 #leedshospitalscharity
