Class 5 Hook Week

15th January 2024Carly Schon

Class 5 had an awesome first week back at school last week hooking into our new expedition. Our new Expedition is ‘The Blue Planet: How will what a do today impact the world tomorrow?’ Each class is focussing their learning on a different part of the world. Class 5 are learning all about Australia! We had so much fun learning about the continents and where Australia is located on the world map. We learned what it is like in Australia and how this differed from our life in the UK. The children had lots of fun watching videos all about the landscape, wildlife and how people live in Australia.

We also had lots of fun making different crafts to immerse our classroom and make it feel like we were visiting the Land Down Under! We learned about the Aborigines and made our own boomerangs and Aboriginal dot art. We also made paper plate koalas, Australian flags and collages of Earth and its continents. Our classroom is looking AMAZING!

Here are some photos of our week:

Year 1 PE and XP Outdoors

12th January 2024Carly Schon

This Term children in Year 1 will be doing PE on Mondays. This is due to it being our turn for Mini Kixx Football skills! The children will be doing their PE session’s outdoors on the 3G pitch with their class teacher and a coach from the Mini Kixx team. Please can all children bring an outdoor PE kit suitable for the days weather. A warm tracksuit or joggers and a hoodie/jumper would be ideal. Children will also need a pair of trainers (no football boots with studs please for safety reasons).

On Tuesday’s children will also be doing XP Outdoors with Mr Kershaw. Again children will need clothing suitable for the weather and a change of shoes as they are likely to get muddy in the outdoor area and will need to remove their muddy shoes once indoors. Wellies or boots would be ideal and a a carrier bag to put muddy shoes into. If the weather is cold then hat/scarf/gloves may be needed too. Please ensure your children are prepared for the days weather conditions.

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

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.

Class 5’s reading superstar!

23rd November 2023Samantha Good

Today, I have the absolute pleasure of being in class 5 and to kick start our morning we had Martha showing such courage when she ever so proudly told us about the most recent book she had read. We love Little People Big Dreams and Martha had found one with the stories of Rosa Parks and Gloria Steinem. Martha sat proudly in front of the rest of the class and read, with outstanding fluency and expression, the beautiful stories of these two inspirational women!!!! Well done and a huge thank you to Martha!
