We have really enjoyed getting to know each other this week, exploring, investigating and developing our Crew. Our classroom has been a busy place and we have spent lots of time outdoors too! We are really looking forward to the adventures we will be having next week!

Reception children enjoying their first week:
Welcome back!
We’ve had a wonderful start to our new year with lots of smiles this week. We have met our new crews, had lots of fun developing our team work skills through competitions and games and have practised our listening skills in music.
Balloons and Eggs Galore!
Another day means another day of crew challenges!
Today we had to build the tallest freestanding balloon tower – everyone did amazingly working together and communicating to build the best structure despite a few burst balloons!
Next we had a pile of materials, a roll of tape and an egg. We had to make the best safety jacket for our egg before dropping them from the target board to see which crews egg had survived! There was some fantastic team work and communication because every crew had an egg survivor!
If we get crew right, we get everything right.
First week back to school
Class 4 have started their week with getting to know each other activities, crew time, team building tasks and having a lovely time with friends!
Extreme Reading Challenge
Books don’t need electricity! We can read them anywhere and everywhere! We are inviting you all (including parents, families and staff) to take part in our Norton Infant School Extreme Reading Challenge. This is to celebrate the opening of our new library area in school – keep checking our blog and social media over the next few weeks to see the children enjoying the brand new library.
Think about different, exciting, fun and safe places where you can enjoy a book, and simply take a photograph. There will be prizes for the most creative photograph in each year group. Simply email the photograph to [email protected] with your child’s name and year group. If we could have all entries by Monday 13th September please, this will give us time to pick the winners and display all the entries in our new library.
Have fun extreme reading, we can’t wait to see all the extreme reading happening at Norton Infant School.

First day in Class Five
We have just finished our first day in class five, and what a day it was!
We started the day getting to know our new crews – why not ask your child which crew they are in? ( Crew Parsons, Crew Robson, Crew Thurman, Crew Wilkinson or Crew Moloney?)
Next we had a think about what we want our classroom to feel like, look like and sound like. We came up with some fantastic suggestions to make our classroom an amazing place to learn.
Followed by working in pairs on a word search with lots of important vocabulary linked to school.
We worked together in our crews and took part in a quiz, everyone did brilliantly! Crew Parsons won and took the first point in our crew competition (yay!)
In the afternoon we spent some time reading.
And we finished the day by working together to create a time capsule to open before we leave year two. We included cut outs of our hands, string to show how tall we are and a fact file about our likes and dislikes now. I wonder how much we will all grow and change over the year?
If we can achieve all that in day one, I can’t wait to see what the rest of the year holds!
Make sure you keep checking our blog to find out,
