No Pen Day Wednesday – 2021

24th November 2021Laura Parsons

Today in class five we put down our pencils and got talking. We have had a brilliant day of communication and collaboration. Have a look at what we got up to …

We began the day by trying to solve riddles for our early work – can you solve them?

Next we had our Wise Wednesday crew thinking about our pledges to help with our expedition ‘What Will I do to be a hero in my Community?’

Phonics we played some games and got a little bit competitive!

English was some hot seating. We thought really carefully about the questions we would like to ask the characters in our core text – Matilda. We had great fun, getting in role and pretending we were Miss Honey and Miss Trunchbull to answer the questions.

Maths was solving some tricky addition problems using lots of different practical resources.

Year Two Crew – Maths Escape Room

11th November 2021Laura Parsons

It’s Maths Week in England and we wanted to celebrate! We worked in our crews to solve a series of mathematical problems and challenges to reveal a secret code to enable us to escape!

They were tricky – we had to be resilient and hard working but together we succeeded and all managed to ‘escape’!

Year 2 Collaborative Poppy

Today in Crew we talked about Remembrance Day and the significance of poppies.

Each child then drew around their hand to create one huge poppy that will be displayed in the hall for everyone to see.

Well done Year Two Crew!

Mini First Aiders in Year 2

2nd November 2021Nicola Robson

Class 5 and 6 were very lucky to be visited today by Zoe from Mini First Aid. They learnt lots of new skills including how to phone 999 and all about the recovery position. It was great to see them all engaged and working together in their crews. Thank you for an amazing day Zoe!

Class Two are so Kind

15th October 2021Laura Parsons

Our day was brightened in Class Five today as we received a special delivery of crispy buns just to brighten our day from our friends in class two. What a kind thing to do – they were delicious! You must have worked so hard making them, we really appreciate your random act of kindness.

Crew Pumpkin Competition!

15th October 2021Laura Parsons

We have had the best time this morning in year two. We spent the morning designing and creating our pumpkins ready to be judged by Miss Tunney!

We designed them and then decided as a crew which design we wanted to carve.

Next came the messy bit …

Finally, we carved our designs ready to be judged.

Miss Tunney then came into our community meeting to decide the winner. Each crew had to explain their design.

The winning crew was …. CREW PARSONS!!

Their design had the word crew with a different circle to represent each member of their crew. What a great idea!🎃

Even the rain can’t stop class five!

12th October 2021Laura Parsons

The rain poured during our PE session this afternoon but the children showed their resilience and determination, moved all the tables around and got active with their yoga session in the classroom. It was great fun – well done class five!

The sun will shine on you again and the clouds will go away

11th October 2021Laura Parsons

We started our morning with some clues as to who our next champion was going to be – can you guess?

We worked together to ‘popcorn’ our suggestions – we discovered we were going to be learning about Captain Sir Tom Moore.

We began with some group reading to see what we could find out about him. We then used the ChromeBooks to research further and add all of our findings to our graffiti wall.

Bonjour, Shikamoo, Dzień dobry, Hello …

11th October 2021Laura Parsons

Class 5 took part in a zoom call today with Mayowa Precious Agbabiaka, who is helping children learn more about Black History Month. She has written a book called ‘There’s rice at home’ and read it aloud to the children. She told us that she has written the book in 13 languages. We really enjoyed trying to say hello in all the different languages – I wonder how many different ways you can say hello?
