This week in English and expedition we have had some great discussions about whether animals should be kept in zoos. We began by exploring reasons for and against and then came to our own conclusions. Do you agree?





In art we have been producing some beautiful drawings and redrafting our work to make it even better.




And finally we have had a wonderful week of reading which culminated in sharing our book reviews in our reading target crew.









Have a wonderful half term everyone! x












Our costumes, hats and masks were very colourful.
We even had some carnival floats:



The carnival in Rio looks like lots of fun….we all had a great time too.





Our Nursery children had so much fun having their very own carnival celebrations.

















I have received some brilliant photos and videos this week. You have all been so busy and I want to say a huge thank you for sharing all your incredible work.
Check out Chloe’s ‘Stop Go Animations’. I think we have a budding film maker in our class…
Harry Potter
Sit back and enjoy…
The children have also produced some beautiful art work and have redrafted their work to make it even better! Super stars…

We have had some great discussions this week about whether animals should be kept in zoos. Here are some of our reasoned arguments…



You presented your ideas brilliantly đ
Enjoy your break everyone, you deserve it xxxx
This week in English and Expedition we have been thinking about whether we are for or against zoos. We had some great discussions where we thought about both sides of the argument and generated our own conclusions. What do you think?
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.
