Thank you for your feedback on the 2021 Calendar. It’s obvious that the proposed calendar does not work for everyone in Norton, so we will consult with our community of Norton to understand what does and doesn’t work, and what factors we need to consider. We will put together a working group to create a calendar that works for both Norton and XP Trust to ensure our children get the best education we can provide while fitting into the wider considerations of our community.
Thank you
This week Class 4 have been working hard on their handwriting, letter formation and spelling. The children have demonstrated their resilience when practising their tricky, phonics and writing sentences.
Dear Parents and Carers, Thank you for your comments and feedback on the Academic Calendar. We will take this feedback and discuss our response with the Local Governing Committee and respond in a timely manner.
We looked at where Brazil is and identified the flag. We then started to design and make masks that we could wear to our own carnival parade next week.
We are looking forward to having our own carnival in Reception next week.

We gathered natural resources from our playground and then made some hanging ice decorations. Our Nursery children loved watching the decorations melt and talking about how they were changing and why.
We have been working hard this week and our efforts can be seen in the beautiful work we have created. We started our week by identifying features of a non-chronological report…
After researching our favourite animals we then created our very own report. Prepare to be amazed…
A HUGE well done for your efforts this week! Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work 😊
This week in English and Expedition we have been thinking about writing Non-Chronological reports.
We started by reading and critiquing some models.
Next we used books, videos and the internet to create a research map all about our chosen animals.
We then used everything we had learned about non-chronological reports and our animals to write our very own report – what do you think?
Class 4 have had a very busy week learning about animals, sorting them into different groups and discussing their basic needs. The children have enjoyed singing ‘the sorting animals’ song and joining in with the actions. We have designed some feeding bowls for our pets, critiqued our work and planned our next steps. This week most children in our class have received their special award for reading lots of books at home and at school.
