I was super impressed with everyone in class 5 this morning. We completed a picture puzzle protocol where we had to collaborate and use our communication skills to talk about all of the different pieces of the puzzle in turn and see if we could work out what the mystery image was.
We discovered it was the front cover of our new text – Man on the Moon.
We are looking forward to finding out what it is all about and seeing if our predictions are correct!
Awesome job class 5 xxx
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
We are getting ourself back into our latest case study by thinking about what aliens could look like. We started off with lots of alien images and we had to find partners in our classroom to describe the alien to – we discovered we were needing to use lots of adjectives!
After that we designed our own aliens using our favourite features from the ones we had been describing. Next, we did a gallery walk where we added lots of vocabulary around the aliens to help our friends with their writing description later.
Crew and writing rolled into one! What a great start to our new half term.
Well done class 5, Mrs Parsons xx
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!

We have had a really fun week walking to school and completing our daily mile challenge. Well done everybody for your incredible effort. We have earned some lovely stickers, biscuits and juice. Freya has received a special certificate for walking to school every day all the way from Askern. Well done Freya.
We all enjoyed a walk in the sunshine this morning over at the junior school.
It is definitely a happy Friday in our class today! 😁
Another lovely celebration crew this morning. I was so impressed with the children who achieved awards this week for lots of different things – following HoWLs, being kind and lots of amazing phonics work going on!Â
We also loved hearing what each class had been learning this week – thank you Barney D, Tayla G, Eric C, Ava W, Willow C and Myla A for sharing your learning so confidently.Â
I wonder who we will be celebrating next term?

Nursery were visited on Wednesday 24th May by an expert visitor, Holly, from the Yorkshire Air Ambulance charity. Holly talked to the children about the role of the Air Ambulance and it’s Crew, whilst telling us interesting facts such as; it travels at 160mph, the helicopter costs £19,000 per day to run, there are two of them across the region and patients are treated on board just like a regular ambulance.
Nursery created their own air ambulance land art today, (after modelling and the use of a photo as a stimulus) using large loose parts in the outdoor area. They worked as a team to decide which materials to choose and which materials were most suitable in terms of shape, colour and size.
I think you’ll all agree the children have created some amazing land art in the shape and tones of the Air Ambulance. Such beautiful work! They have also learned key words such as Landing Skids, Propellers, Rotors and Ambulance body.
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
