Hooking in to our spring term expedition…

Today we welcomed the children back into Class 2 by starting to hook them into our next expedition. A doctors surgery has been set up in the classroom and the children have loved role playing many different characters. We heard creative narratives from the patients about their ailments and observed very kind behaviour by the doctors and nurses looking after them. The receptionists worked hard recording patients appointments in the book and answering their phone calls. It’s been great fun!

New Expedition . . .

We kicked off our new expedition today! We discovered our first case study was going to be music!

We started it off with a recorder session – keep checking our blog for videos over the coming weeks!

Collaborating over ColourBrain!

This morning in crew after we had shared our roses and thorns from over the break and we recapped what collaboration is. Next we used those skills to play ColourBrain – we decided the key to collaboration was to communicate!

Cosy Crew ☕️

We started the morning in class five with a hot chocolate, stories by the (interactive!) fire and a very special message from a very important person. 🎅🏻🌟☕️

Wriggly Nativity Superstars!

All the children in Nursery and Reception sang their hearts out during their performances of Wriggly Nativity this week. It was wonderful to see them perform so confidently and share the good news of Christmas with their loved ones ⭐️

Here are some photographs of children in Class 2 enjoying wearing their costumes during our dress rehearsal 😀

Christingle Assembly

We have had some very special assemblies across Norton Campus today – we even got to visit the junior school which was very exciting! Mr Chadwick arranged for Reverend Chris to visit us, and he brought with him his friend Chris. He talked to us about the importance of a Christingle and what it means.

He invited us all to a special Christingle service at Campsall Church on Christmas Eve at 4pm. During the service we will get to take part in a Nativity, sing some Christmas carols, make our own Christingle and we will even be able to hear Chris’ voice (it only works on Christmas Eve!)
