Class 6 have been working with enthusiasm and resilience to create their final pieces of King Charles III writing. I am so proud of their efforts and beautiful work.
Keep it up everyone!
Beautiful work

We are historians!
Today we’ve been using online sources to research the life of King Charles III. We were able to find out so much more information to add to the anchor charts we started yesterday and enjoyed the challenge of finding the most interesting new fact to share with the class.
What is the journey of King Charles III?
This week we have been historians researching the time line of King Charles III and exploring his family tree.
We have also been design technologists researching coins in preparation for designing our own coronation commemorative coins.
Finally, we demonstrated our beautiful handwriting in our invitations to our grown ups for Friday’s celebration.
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
We are . . . explorers!
FAO Year Two Parents
It’s Bearly Believable…
But yes, Norton Infant School has it’s very own Bear Cub – Crewso!
A short while ago, I launched a competition to design a limb or part of a large fibre glass bear cub in aid of raising funds for Leeds Children’s Hospital, who are currently supporting one of our families. Below is Bruce, who has found the very first bear on the Leeds Bear Hunt Trail, at Leeds Hospital whilst receiving his treatment.
We have received some beautiful, thoughtful and intricate entries for the competition from most year groups across the campus and I am very proud to announce the artists taking part in the design and decoration of our very own bear cub are…. Ava from 6SO, Evelyn from 4TE, James from 3LG, Olivia in Class 4, Isla in Class 2, Alarna in Class 1 and Lily-Mai in Nursery. As the project forms part of a legacy from our 2022 Foundation Stages Autumn Expedition of “How do we care for the bears?” Every child in the Foundation Stage and Nursery will be contributing their hand print to the final design also.
The artwork on the bear has commenced and each child has been carefully following their designs to produce an outstanding piece of art, which will be displayed in Leeds City Centre over the summer. Everyone is invited to visit our bear and take part in the Leeds Bear Hunt and feel proud that we have contributed to this fantastic event in aid of such a worthy cause. These children are activists making a difference to their community and we are incredibly proud of them. With teamwork and collaboration anything is possible! Here is a sneak peak of what has been happening….
The Runaway Chapati
Silent Conversation
We’ve been predicting what might happen in our new text this morning. I was very impressed with how Class 6 made links with other stories they were familiar with to help with these predictions.
Red Nose Day Competition 🔴
We have been so impressed with the t-shirt designs around school today. Below are the winners from the different classes, voted for by the children. Our overall winner, picked by Mrs Ponsonby is . . . Brooke!
We will make sure all of our winners get their prizes on Monday morning – well done everyone!
Thank you to everyone who wore red, designed a shirt or made a contribution to Comic Relief.

Tranquil Tuesday meets origami . . .
We decided to put our reading skills to good use this morning and revamp our bookmarks!
We read instructions carefully and followed the directions to make some new cool bookmarks.
It was lovely to see everyone supporting each other with the reading, cutting or folding. It meant the whole of Crew Parsons left with a completed book mark.
Well done guys ❤️
