Parent Experts and a Product Launch

What a lovely morning we have had in year two! We were joined in school by lots of parents and grandparents to share their memories of school and our local area of Norton, whilst having a cup of tea and a biscuit.

It was also lovely for the children to be able to share the work and product they completed during our first expedition – “What will I do to be a champion in my community?” If you would like a copy of their fantastic notebook, complete with pledges and art work – you can purchase one on ParentPay or contact Mrs Robson or myself.

As always, a huge thank you for your support.

Amazing Aerial Photography

Yesterday we were very lucky to be visited by Geoff and his drone. He talked to the children about aerial photography and different ways we can take photos. We then went outside and watched Geoff fly his drone 120 meters up in the air! He took some amazing photos of school and the surrounding areas.

Amazing models

Just look at these amazing models that children in class 6 have been busy making over the Easter holidays. You have blown us away with your creativity. Well done!

Please keep this date in your diary…

Thursday 21st April (Year 2 -9.00-9.30) 

Friday 22nd April (Year 1 – 9.00 – 9.30) 

In our next expedition we are looking in detail at Norton and our local area, including the history of our school and community. We would like to invite family members to an informal coffee morning where you can have a drink and a bun while sharing your experiences of how Norton and our school  have  changed over the years. If you have experience of living in a contrasting area too then it would be great for the children to be able to compare. Even better, if you have old photographs to share then we would love to see them.

Thank you

Great job everyone,

Fabulous fieldwork at The Deep

The children conducted themselves impeccably and impressed our teacher Rachel with their knowledge of continents, oceans and the impact of plastics on sea life.

I was very proud of you all

Our Digital Leaders

Our brand new Digital Leaders had a fun-filled time at XP East today as we met up with other students from across our trust. We began the day with a brilliant tour of XP and XP East before working hard to understand the role of a digital leader, why digital leaders are important and the qualities a digital leader should have.

Miss Tinker and I were blown away by the children’s efforts and collaboration but also the courage they demonstrated to share their ideas in front of a huge audience of over 120 staff and students! A great day was had by all and the children will now share their learning with the leadership team at Norton. Thank you to Mr. Portman and XP for having us for the day…we had a great time!

Well done everyone – you were fantastic.

Year 2 are meteorologists!

Year 2 have worked extremely hard today to become meteorologists.
We started by looking at the seasons and how the weather changes in each season. The children then worked in collaborative groups to make their own weather forecast which they then rehearsed and recorded.
I’m sure you’ll agree that they have done a fantastic job! Mrs Chadwick and I were blown away by you all.

Fabulous Frayer Models

Today we looked at some new vocabulary as part of our geography case study.

The children used dictionaries to find the definition of their words and then came up with the characteristics, examples and non examples.

Well done, you were persevering parrots especially when using the dictionaries!
