W have been having so much fun this week having a go with lots of exciting activities. We had a gallery walk when looking at our beautiful 3d models of landmarks; we went for a walk around our local area and had a fantastic coffee morning on Friday. Thank you to our parents and grandparents for joining us and sharing their memories of school and our local area.

Hook week fun in Reception
This week we have been having great fun trying to guess what our Summer Term expedition is all about.
Norton by the sea
We are excited to find out what else will happen this week and also what we will be learning about in the Summer Term.
Parent Experts and a Product Launch
What a lovely morning we have had in year two! We were joined in school by lots of parents and grandparents to share their memories of school and our local area of Norton, whilst having a cup of tea and a biscuit.
It was also lovely for the children to be able to share the work and product they completed during our first expedition – “What will I do to be a champion in my community?” If you would like a copy of their fantastic notebook, complete with pledges and art work – you can purchase one on ParentPay or contact Mrs Robson or myself.
As always, a huge thank you for your support.

Awesome Artwork
Class Five have blown us away with their critique and resilience this morning. We watched Austin’s butterfly before critiquing our own work and having a go at our second draft – the improvements are amazing!
Exploring Norton
Class Five spent a lovely morning in the sunshine looking at local landmarks and taking photographs ready for our art work later in the week.
Amazing Aerial Photography
Yesterday we were very lucky to be visited by Geoff and his drone. He talked to the children about aerial photography and different ways we can take photos. We then went outside and watched Geoff fly his drone 120 meters up in the air! He took some amazing photos of school and the surrounding areas.
Amazing models
Just look at these amazing models that children in class 6 have been busy making over the Easter holidays. You have blown us away with your creativity. Well done!
A model village . . .
We have been absolutely blown away with the extended study the children have been doing over their Easter break! The challenge was to make a model of some where in our local area – the results were incredible! What do you think?
Please keep this date in your diary…
Thursday 21st April (Year 2 -9.00-9.30)
Friday 22nd April (Year 1 – 9.00 – 9.30)
In our next expedition we are looking in detail at Norton and our local area, including the history of our school and community. We would like to invite family members to an informal coffee morning where you can have a drink and a bun while sharing your experiences of how Norton and our school have changed over the years. If you have experience of living in a contrasting area too then it would be great for the children to be able to compare. Even better, if you have old photographs to share then we would love to see them.
Thank you

Collaborative Planning
Class Five were working really hard yesterday gathering their ideas to write their own description of an underwater paradise based on our core text – The Tin Forest.
I can’t wait to read the finished pieces.
