Artist of the week

This morning we have been exploring the work of Peter Thorpe, an American artist who creates abstract art and has created lots of artwork about space.

During our gallery walk we shared with our talk partners what we noticed, what we praised and what we wondered about each piece of artwork.
We are looking forward to creating our own pieces of space art using some of Peter Thorpe’s
techniques.

!! FAO Year Two Parents !!

Dear Parents/carers,

During the next few weeks, our Year 2 children are preparing for their ‘Final Word’ presentation. This is a reflection on their Infant school years whereby they reflect on their character growth, academic success and the beautiful work that they have produced during their time at Norton Infant School. This is also a time to use their reflections to share why they are ready to take on their new challenge at Norton Junior School. This is something the children will be spending a lot of time on supported by their class teacher.

During their presentations, we would like to invite you to attend their Final Word along with their class teacher and possibly other members of staff too. Please fill out the form below by Friday 16th June so that staff can align times and dates for the year 2 pupils presentations.

Thank you for supporting the children with this important part of their time in year two.

Crew Check In

I asked my crew this morning what did they think was the most important thing they had learned so far at our school. I shared the biggest thing I had learned was that I learn new and amazing things every day from my class, crew and people I work with but their responses just blew me away …

Yoga … with an astronaut!

It’s Tranquil Tuesday today and we spent our time in crew doing some yoga. We used a Cosmic Yoga video with Jaime on Earth and Samantha Cristoforetti on the International Space Station! It was a relaxing way to start the day and get us all in the green zone!

Crew Parsons’ wanted the link to do it again at home, so here it is!

Great job today Crew Parsons xx

Mindful Monday in Crew Parsons

We started our crew circle with a funny check in this morning – how are you feeling?

Then we took our crew circle outside for a walk in the sunshine whilst we shared our news from over half term. When we circled back up we shared something we had found out from someone else in our crew – we even had a squirrel want to join our crew!!

What a lovely way to start the week!

Beautiful work

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!

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.
