This week in our crew sessions we have been promoting walking and discussing the benefits of this. We walk for inclusion, sustainability, health, mindfulness and for friendship. We have loved the sunny mornings, getting outside and walking around our beautiful school grounds then checking out with a word or caption to describe how walking makes us feel. Some of the words used by our Year One children were, ’happy’, ’joyful’, ’calm’, peaceful’, ’lively’ and ’closer to nature’.
We celebrated some of our wonderful children’s achievements in our community meeting this morning. We have shown kindness to others, worked hard in phonics and have been challenging ourselves. Noah enjoyed sharing his football medal. 👏
The children are amazing us with their efforts in writing and have written some imaginative stories. We have also enjoyed lots of outdoor learning in the beautiful sun shine this week.🌞 Thank you for all your hard work and for making us smile xx
We’ve had an amazing visit today. Holly came to talk to the children about the Yorkshire Air Ambulance service. We learned all about where the helicopters live, how fast they travel and the places they might go to.
Isla shared the incredible news about her mum, who recently ran the London marathon and raised £1000 for this amazing charity 👏
A big thanks to all those who have kindly donated to the charity’s clothes bank. It costs £19,000 each day to keep this amazing crew going so every little helps.
Back in the classroom the children have enjoyed writing about what they have learned from our expert visitor…
Class 5 have been busy this morning building background knowledge and creating anchor charts all about Mae Jemison.
Super research and note taking skills everyone!
Mrs Parsons xx
The sun is out so we took our lesson outside too!
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!
On Friday Nursery were practising for Walk to School Week, creating a walking bus and taking a tour around the Norton Campus. Our expedition this term is all centred around transport and examining different vehicles. We were lucky enough to experience workmen resurfacing the road and saw exciting large, heavy duty vehicles in action. There was a dumper truck, a tar spreading vehicle and roller. The children were fascinated.
Nursery did extremely well and behaved impressively throughout their walk. They all held hands and stayed in the walking bus, singing songs along the way. Upon our return to Nursery we made a pledge to walk to school at least one day the following week. Well Done Nursery, lets see who can keep their pledge to help save our environment and enjoy the outdoors.
Class 1 have enjoyed visiting our school library this week…
I have also caught the children enjoying spending time in our reading area…
We had lots of fun counting forwards and backwards in 2s, 5s and 10s. We used different objects to make groups and used some mathematical language to describe our thinking. We loved writing in our class and in our choosing time some children created some lovely stories.
As part of our expedition on Transport this term we have been looking at maps. Today during a maths related activity, Nursery were exploring a familiar route. First they learned about what a route is and then they used a map to guide them and thought hard about positional language including; forward, left and right. They walked the route and then explained how they got back to Nursery talking about familiar landmarks and beginning to use key words above. Well Done to our little Orienteers!
