We made a Leap Day time capsule in class today not to be opened until February 29th 2028 – when we are in year six!
We included notes to our future selves. pictures and photographs – and made Mrs Parsons add it to her calendar so she doesn’t forget to give them to us!
We started our week off sharing some fantastic beautiful work and handing out some certificates to children who are working incredibly hard or are showing they are great members of our Norton crew.
We are looking forward to next week already! ⭐️

Over half term the children took part in a sponsored reading event in partnership with Usborne Books. Their challenge was to read as much as possible and in an unusual or exciting place. We have loved sharing their photographs and Miss Tunney chose Pippa Evans as the winning entry. How exciting to read in the cockpit of a plane!
We feel extremely grateful to the children and their families for raising a phenomenal £3303!
This money will be used to buy new library books for our schools. Thank you so much!
We had a focus on mental health in our assembly this morning. We thought about who we could talk to if we were struggling and we made pledges of something we would do this weekend to make our minds happy.
I can’t wait to hear about what you did next week!

Key Stage One have been researching different animals and their habitats this week. Each class has researched a different habitat and location around the world.
We visited each classroom this morning to look at their anchor charts and research to learn about the different locations around the world.
It was great to hear the children being Geographers and learning so much from each other.

We had a great community meeting this morning! We have been thinking about our feelings and using our zones of regulation in our wise Wednesday sessions, so today we decided to think about how we could get ourself or others more into the green zone. We played charades and Mrs Parsons says!
I was so impressed with the confidence of all of our little actors!
We even managed to celebrate our brilliant basketball team who took part in a tournament at Campsmount yesterday.

There is no better way to start the week than with sharing the beautiful work that has been happening in classes. It was also lovely to give out postcards to those children who are always modelling our core values and HoWls during our community meetings.
I’m already looking forward to next week ⭐️

We have been learning about the importance of being physically and mentally healthy in crew. We played charades to share with our crew some great ways to help our health.
Well done Crew Tinker ⭐️
We have had the most delicious expedition session this afternoon! We were really lucky in class 5 Carter’s mummy brought us some chocolate milk in glass bottles. We thought about why it is better for the environment in a glass bottle than cartons or plastic bottles. We then talked about what happens to the glass bottles next so that they can be used again.
Miss Tinker and I enjoyed everyone’s chocolate moustaches 🤣
We are busy working on our HOWLt of sharing the same goal as our crew this morning. We are working together to sort the animals into the different groups, using the anchor charts we created yesterday. We finished our lesson with the post it note game – we had to think really carefully about the questions and vocabulary we were using!
Well done class five 😊
