Quite literally ‘out of this world’ home learning from Charlotte in class 7

23rd May 2023Jayne Rodgers

All of the staff and children were blown away by this fabulous piece of work that our Charlotte has spent many hours creating at home after being inspired by our latest expedition, North, South, East, West. Where could your journey take you? In our second case study we have been learning about the inspirational life of Mae Jemison, the first black woman to travel into space.

Charlotte created her ‘sew-lar’ system using felt, buttons and sequins whilst also learning lots of different embroidery stitches. The attention to detail is astonishing…it even has accurate constellations and Jupiter’s famous red spot, a storm that scientists believe has been raging on the planet for at least 300 years! (She also included Pluto, as she has learned that it is no longer classed as part of our solar system due to it being too small and she felt sorry for it!)

Why not ask your children to tell you some of the facts they have learned? They really do love sharing their learning with you.

Carry on aiming for the stars you fabulous little humans and who knows…one day you might go there for real 🌟

Key stage 1 castle product

19th May 2023Aime Shaw

Year 1 and 2 have put their amazing castle that they created using their new design and technology skills, into our local community. It has pride of place at the entrance to Thorne library and some children will be going next week to take a photograph for their product launch!

If you would like to go and visit the castle, why not sign up for a library card at the same time!

Well done key stage 1…what great work!

Class 7 King Charles pen portraits

12th May 2023Jayne Rodgers

We ended our first case study today by assembling our King Charles fact files in the form of pen portraits. We had worked in groups to do internet research and take bullet pointed notes and then used our SPAG learning to add conjunctions to make sentences. After that we critiqued, edited and improved our writing and used a ’jigsaw’ protocol…where one member of each group split into a new group to share our learning… to produce these truly amazing tributes to the journey of our new King.

Bear in mind the children who produced this outstanding work are 5 and 6 year olds! Just imagine the journey they are embarking on if this is what they can produce in year one!

I am beyond proud of you all xx
