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.

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!
What is Geography?
Firstly the children wrote down all the things they already knew. Then we completed a scavenger hunt in school to explore our ideas further and took photos of what we saw on the ipads.
Great work class 6!

Exploring Habitats
Finally the children worked in groups to explore one habitat in more detail. They worked collaboratively and then presented their work to the rest of the class.
I was so impressed with how they supported each other whilst presenting. You are all amazing!
Digital Leaders
Notice for all students in Year 2
Students in Year 2 have an amazing opportunity to become a Digital Leader within our XP schools.
This is a fantastic opportunity for children to develop their own individual skills when it comes to the latest technology. Children who are successful will get the opportunity to visit XP East and potentially the Apple Store to have further training on how to use technology including iPads, MacBooks and some of the other great technology that is used throughout schools. Our Digital Leaders will then become the experts who can then pass on their knowledge to our staff and students.
Below is a link to the Digital Leaders website where you can find out further information.
Applications will need to be sent to Mrs Parsons by Thursday 3rd February explaining why you would make a fantastic Digital Leader. This can be done in a format of your choice including a letter, slides or even a video showcasing your IT skills.
I can’t wait to see your applications!
Classifying Animals
This week we have been learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. We worked collaboratively to group animals before writing about them.
I wonder if you can remember what sort of teeth each group have?
