Fabulous fieldwork at The Deep

9th March 2022Nicola Robson

We had an amazing day at The Deep in Hull today.

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

28th February 2022Laura Parsons

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!

22nd February 2022Nicola Robson

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

21st February 2022Nicola Robson

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?

8th February 2022Nicola Robson

Today we began our second case study by thinking about the question ‘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!

Safer Internet Day 2022

8th February 2022Nicola Robson

Today in Crew we talked about staying safe online as part of Safer Internet Day. We discussed how we need to be kind online just like we do offline. We also linked it to Tranquil Tuesday by listening to the story of Digiduck who needed some help staying safe online.

Exploring Habitats

3rd February 2022Nicola Robson

Today we have been exploring macro-habitats. To start our lesson the children worked in pairs to sort animals to their habitats. We then discussed adaptation and why certain habitats were suitable for different animals.

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!
