We spent a very chocolatey afternoon in class 6 making delicious Easter treats. The temptation to lick the spoon was almost unbearable, but I managed it…just!

The children will be bringing these home tomorrow along with their other Easter goodies.

As part of diversity week class 6 watched a video about disability called The Present. A boy is gifted a puppy but is very unkind to it when he realises it has lost one of its legs. The children’s shocked faces when they saw how cruelly the boy treated the puppy were clear to see, showing just how they felt about his behaviour. He eventually warms to the puppy and takes it to play outside. It is at this point it becomes clear that the boy has also lost part of his leg. The children discussed how this would have made him feel and was perhaps the reason he was so unkind to the puppy.

What amazing empathy the children showed towards the situation and what mature conversations they had about how being disabled did not mean you were any less of a person than a boy or girl who is able bodied.

So proud of you all!

Reeva, Thea, Shae and Deacon absolutely smashed their new division learning today, completing their task with very little support.

Great job guys.

Class 6 kicked off diversity week by discussing autism. We watched a film about a zebra called Zane who had different stripes to all his friends. We talked about how we are all different and celebrated all the different things we are good at. We drew these things on jigsaw puzzle pieces and we will fit them together to make a diversity puzzle by the end of the week. Watch this space!

How gorgeous does Imogen look at her Irish dancing competition this weekend? She did amazingly well gaining 3rd place from a total of 22 dancers!

She was staggeringly unimpressed with my attempts to emulate her skills though…I can’t think why…

Awesome job angel x

Huge congratulations to Ellis and Reeva for being today’s learning legends. Ellis grappled so hard with his first draft of a description of our sculptures and Reeva’s thirst for learning is a joy to behold.

Keep up the awesome learning attitudes kids. So proud of you.

We finished our maths assessment papers today with Deacon and Harrison scoring full marks. Lexi also did very well in her phonics assessment today with Miss O’Neill. I am super proud of how class 6 have stepped up during these assessments. You should all be very pleased with yourselves too.

Awesome!

Class 6 continued to knock it out of the park with their assessments today with reading paper 1. Deacon, Shae and Maddison did particularly well. We then spent a lovely afternoon planning the layout for our final product.

I’m super excited to see how it turns out.

Watch this space!
