Crew Knowles: Family Learning

9th February 2023Rebecca Knowles

Thank you to all of the adults that came to our family learning session yesterday! It was great fun dissecting flower and then drawing them. I was so impressed with the sketches – especially from the adults! We ended it with a very competitive game of Kahoot – well done to our winners!

YOUNG VOICES REMINDER – FRIDAY 10th FEBRUARY!

7th February 2023Sophie Myers

Young Voices is NEARLY here!! Children will be leaving school at 12pm to arrive at Utilita Arena in time for rehearsals to start at 1pm. Children will have lunch early in school before leaving.

Children will need a packed lunch for their tea and plenty to drink – We will be having an hour at 5pm for children to be able to eat in the arena before the concert begins.

I have received all of the children’s T-Shirts and Torches and will distribute them to the children on the day. Children should come to school in their usual school uniform and can change their T-Shirts before we leave.

Concert Times:

Venue doors open at 6pm for all adults who are attending. The Concert starts at 7pm and finishes at 8:45pm. All adult tickets will be given to children by the end of tomorrow to bring home at 3pm. There is also a letter that gives further information about parking.

All children are to return to school on the coach and no children will be permitted to leave the arena with their parents. The coach will drop everyone off at the main school gates at approximately 9:45pm.

Crew Knowles: E-Safety Day

7th February 2023Rebecca Knowles

We have really enjoyed our E-Safety drop down day today looking at lots of different aspects of the online world. We started by looking at the difference between the internet and the world wide web and how we are all connected through the internet. We then looked at the positives and negatives of the online world and learned that it can actually be very beneficial to us in our every day life!

Although the internet has lots of positives, we learned the importance of ensure that we find the right balance of screen time and non-screen time. We listened to a great story which helped us to understand this! Why not listen to it here?

We then focused on digital kindness and cyberbullying and how we can keep ourselves safe online by speaking to a trusted adult about any concerns we have. Well done guys, we’re all E-Safety savvy after today!

Geography club

2nd February 2023Alishia Pearson

After learning about the layers of the earth last week, we took a more detailed look at our Earth’s crust today. Learning that it is made up of the continental crust and the oceanic crust and what makes up these layers (mostly different types of rock). Here is the way they have captured their learning this week. Next week we are looking at what surrounds the Earth, our atmosphere (and believe it or not, that’s also in layers!).
