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?

Update
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
Our beautiful work
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.
Academic Calendar
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 have started learning about how people in Brazil celebrate with carnivals:
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.
Myla found some interesting facts about Christ the Redeemer.
We have also been working hard in maths this week:
We are looking forward to having our own carnival in Reception next week.

Natural ice decorations
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 are enjoying learning about Rio.
Class 6’s Non-Chronological Reports
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 😊
Non-Chronological Reports
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.
Mrs Parson’s researched an elephant. 
We then used everything we had learned about non-chronological reports and our animals to write our very own report – what do you think?
