This morning, we used a character description from our class text Holes to create synonyms to write our own description of a yellow spotted lizard. I was so impressed with the creativity of the vocabulary used! Great job everyone!
Today was one of those days when you remember why you became a teacher!
Paisley, Erin, Myla, George, Olivia, Willow, Willow, Macky, Reeva and Gabby were invited to read a poem at the VE Day Memorial service in Thorne Park this morning and I was so proud of the children and the way that even the very youngest of them seemed to understand that although it was a celebration of the end of the war, it was also a solemn occasion which they were attending to show respect.
Winston Churchill once said – “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it’ – so the chance to attend events such as these where they can begin to understand the devastating effects of war will hopefully ingrain in them the importance of peace.
You were a credit to yourselves, your families and our school.
You were all awesome!
A huge thank you to everyone that was able to join us this afternoon for an afternoon of Chair Drumming! A special thank you to Mr Pickles for being our expert!
We are excited to confirm details of our Family Learning event on Wednesday 7th May. We ask parents to arrive at the office at 2pm for a fun filled hour with our children where we will be building on our skills in chair drumming! Let’s hope the sun keeps shining!
This morning in our history lesson, we investigated the different job roles in the mine and discussed what life would have been like for miners.
We used our new knowledge of the different job roles to create freeze frames. The children loved this and I was really impressed with the creativity of their freeze frames! What a great discussion based lesson, it was great to hear all of your wonderful ideas!
This morning, we have researched key dates throughout history linked to mining. The children then used their research to create their own timelines! A huge shoutout to everyone for a great focus on their Craftsmanship & Quality!
This week, we put our fluency skills to the test and the children worked in pairs to use fluency assessment grids to assess their partners reading. They used the grid to highlight and give supportive critique and feedback to each other. It was lovely to hear lovely, kind feedback being shared! Well done everyone!
This week we took chair drumming outside in to the lovely sunshine!
Well done to everyone for joining in. We even looked at some different musical notations!
We definitely have some musicians in the making!
Yesterday, we used wax crayons and card to create a silhouette of a headstock. Everyone created their own image that now look beautiful on our new Expedition display!
What a lovely start to Summer term celebrating our Crew Champions and hearing all the wonderful comments about you all! I wonder who will be next to win their Character Trait badges!
Well done everyone!
