Class 6 Hook day 2

9th January 2024Jayne Rodgers

We have had a fantastic day today in class 6 learning many more fabulous facts about the amazing continent of Africa. Mr Kershaw joined us to help us begin a KWL chart to record what we already know about our continent and what we would like to find out. We discussed the similarities and differences between some of the countries in Africa and our own, before using IPads to watch a video, noting down the things we will share with our phase at a special presentation of learning on Friday.

Why not ask your child to tell you what they have learned?

Class 6 Hook day 1

8th January 2024Jayne Rodgers

Class 6 have been getting crafty on the first day of our new expedition. We have learned the names of the seven continents using a fabulously catchy tune and have begun to investigate our chosen continent – Africa. We did jigsaws of our expedition title, made world continent maps and cut out animal masks to use in our new African savannah safari area. At the end of this week we will be sharing our learning with the other classes in our phase and hearing all about the continents they have been studying. We can’t wait for tomorrow to find out more!

Key stage 1 nativity updates

8th December 2023Aime Shaw

Please can all of the children make sure that their costumes are in school with their teachers by Monday morning ready for our dress rehearsal…thanks so much for those that we have received already! If there are any problems, please do speak to someone in school.

Also, speaking parts have been sent out again as some children really need to practise them over the weekend. Thanks so much for supporting us with this!

If anyone is wanting any extra tickets, please speak to a member of staff on the door as there are lots of tickets still available and we would love to have a great audience to show off the children’s hard work to!

Thanks so much for your support

6th December 2023Aime Shaw

We had such an incredible time at Cast this afternoon watching the pantomime ‘Beauty and the beast’. The children enjoyed the sweetie treats, danced, sang and joined in with booing, cheering and clapping! Thank you so much to our parents and carers for being patient with our return…we appreciate it as always! We hope that they have told you all about it this evening and will be a memory for them for years to come.
