Crew Spetch – Y5 Transition

We’ve had the best two days getting to know each other and our new crew. We had lots of fun completing some crew activities, learning about the Zones of Regulation and creating characters that linked to each zone, designing and painting kindness zones for our new garden and learning about the British Values and how these links to our Crew and school life. We also enjoyed some reading to adults and creating some artwork ready for our new classroom.

What a fantastic first impression you have all made. I already can’t wait for the first week back!!

Y4 taking brownies to the food bank!

We had a lovely morning delivering our delicious brownies to the food bank for food parcels and for the volunteers. The volunteers were so kind showing us how the food bank works and they were even kind enough to give the children juice and chocolate! Thank you so much for having us and we hope you enjoy the brownies!

Year 3/4 donation request

Next week, our Year 3 and 4 children will be heading into the community to deliver some delicious brownies they will have baked with our cook Michael. These are to say thank you to special people in our community! Some of the places that the children will be delivering to are the local food bank, the charity shop and Little Bunnies playgroup.

We would love it if we could take further donations with us to support these places and charities further. We will be looking for donations such as:

  • Tinned, packet or boxed food for the food bank 
  • Clothes or small unwanted items for charity shop 
  • Young children’s toy, books or £1 donation to help fund the Little Bunnies playgroup

The children will be taking the items brought in and need to carry them so please nothing too big or heavy.

As always, we appreciate your support with helping our local community further!

Crew Knowles: National Writing Day

We’ve had great fun with our creative writing today for National Writing Day! First we looked at some different images and thought about what might be happening and what we could write about. The children then picked an image and used it as a stimulus to write anything they wanted! We had lots of lovely stories, diary entries and letters!

History Club

The children in History Club continued their learning on D Day tonight by adding to the 80th Anniversary commemoration display in the KS1 corridor. Children from all year groups have contributed work to the display and I am blown away by both the quality of the work, and the empathy shown in the content of the writing. We discussed the Normandy landings on the morning of the 6th of June 1944, and the children learned about the reasons behind the previous evening’s mass drop of paratroopers behind Hitler’s Atlantic Wall and how these brave men fought to capture and hold roads and bridges to secure a safer passage for those who were to follow in the beach attacks the next day.

There are still a few finishing touches to be added and photographs of the completed display will be blogged as soon as it is completed but here is a sneak preview…
