A great last week of term

15th October 2021Claire Goodyer

In maths and P.E we had fun racing and learning about ordinal numbers.

We had a visit from the school nurse who reminded us how to keep ourselves safe.
In our history case study we have been using different ways to research our ‘Champion from History’ Rosa Parks.
We guessed the weight of the giant pumpkin in crew.
To finish a lovely week we had a visit from Class 1 who chose Class 3 to receive their ‘random act of kindness. They had been making crispy buns to celebrate being kind. We enjoyed them whilst watching a spooky cartoon as our reward for working hard this term.

Class Two are so Kind

15th October 2021Laura Parsons

Our day was brightened in Class Five today as we received a special delivery of crispy buns just to brighten our day from our friends in class two. What a kind thing to do – they were delicious! You must have worked so hard making them, we really appreciate your random act of kindness.

Crew Pumpkin Competition!

15th October 2021Laura Parsons

We have had the best time this morning in year two. We spent the morning designing and creating our pumpkins ready to be judged by Miss Tunney!

We designed them and then decided as a crew which design we wanted to carve.

Next came the messy bit …

Finally, we carved our designs ready to be judged.

Miss Tunney then came into our community meeting to decide the winner. Each crew had to explain their design.

The winning crew was …. CREW PARSONS!!

Their design had the word crew with a different circle to represent each member of their crew. What a great idea!🎃

Rosa Parks fact gathering

13th October 2021Anna Wojcik

Class 4 have been learning about champions throughout history. This week we learn about Rosa Parks. We use information technology to search for some interesting facts and share them with our learning partners. We have also enjoyed our active phonics this week!

Little Artists in the making…..

13th October 2021Emma Powell

We looked at the large tree in our garden area. We noticed that the leaves are still green and are all still on the tree. We wonder what it will look like when we come back to school after the half term break?

We created pictures which were inspired by the artist Guiseppe Archimboldo:

We looked carefully at the work by Archimboldo and created our own versions:

We are going to sketch our work next…..we look forward to seeing what they look like when they are complete.

Super work in Class 3

13th October 2021Claire Goodyer

We’ve been busy in maths comparing numbers and practically problem solving.

In English we’ve been practising our phonics skills, playing games and word building and we have sequenced events from our core text ‘Let the Children March.’

    Even the rain can’t stop class five!

    12th October 2021Laura Parsons

    The rain poured during our PE session this afternoon but the children showed their resilience and determination, moved all the tables around and got active with their yoga session in the classroom. It was great fun – well done class five!

    The sun will shine on you again and the clouds will go away

    11th October 2021Laura Parsons

    We started our morning with some clues as to who our next champion was going to be – can you guess?

    We worked together to ‘popcorn’ our suggestions – we discovered we were going to be learning about Captain Sir Tom Moore.

    We began with some group reading to see what we could find out about him. We then used the ChromeBooks to research further and add all of our findings to our graffiti wall.

    Bonjour, Shikamoo, Dzień dobry, Hello …

    11th October 2021Laura Parsons

    Class 5 took part in a zoom call today with Mayowa Precious Agbabiaka, who is helping children learn more about Black History Month. She has written a book called ‘There’s rice at home’ and read it aloud to the children. She told us that she has written the book in 13 languages. We really enjoyed trying to say hello in all the different languages – I wonder how many different ways you can say hello?
