Christmas has arrived! 🎅🏽

Today, we have embraced the beginning of our Christmas Slice. We enjoyed putting up our Christmas decorations and enjoyed reading a section of The Christmasaurus.

I was also blown away by the lovely and thoughtful reflections after watching the Christmas advert ‘ The Christmas Truce ‘. This shows just how kind and thoughtful you all are! 20 howl points each for being kind to everyone!!

Kensuke’s Kingdom Reading Challenge!⛵️

Today we reached the end of our class book “Kensuke’s Kingdom”. We all enjoyed the story and finding out what happened to Michael and the Peggy Sue.

As an extra challenge – I am challenging you to write a book review or reflection based on the story.

You could include:

– what was your favourite part of the story?

– what didn’t you enjoy?

– A summary of the story.

– would you recommend the story to a friend? Why?

100 Howl points for working hard and a dip in the box to all who have a go!

Working together to improve our writing!

Lots of great collaboration and critique this afternoon working together to proofread and edit our non-chronological reports. 20 howl points each to everyone for “getting smart” it was extremely impressive hearing the language used referring to our rubrics and fishbones! Well done everyone 💫

Thank you Mr Kershaw! 🧭

A big shoutout and thank you to Mr Kershaw for taking the time to come and teach Year 5 lots of map reading skills during G Block today. Everyone enjoyed working together and taking part in fun activities. I was also so impressed listening to everyone’s new knowledge of using compasses! We can’t wait to put our new map reading skills into practice!

 

 

National Tree Week 🌳

Yesterday, as part of National Tree Week we discussed the importance of trees, why we need to work together to protect them and why they are important to us. We gathered lots of information and reflected on them by making a pledge to what we are going to work on to support and help our local environments! Well done everyone!

Community Crew Role Model 💫

This weekend, when I received an email from Freya explaining what she has been doing to help our local community, I was incredibly proud! Freya has shown lots of compassion and brilliant crew traits by ‘being kind’ and litter picking around Thorne.

Freya commented:

We got a new puppy and realised when we were taking him for a walk, there is lots of litter on the floor. My dog would try and eat it, which we obviously don’t want him to do because it is dangerous and could make him poorly. We got in touch with Doncaster council and they sent us some litter pickers, safety gloves, high vis vests and bags. We now pick up what we can around our neighbourhood.

What an excellent role model to our Crew and school and what a very lucky puppy you have having you to look after him! Well done Super star! 100 Howl Points!! 💫

WELL DONE SOPHIA!! 🌳🌳

I would just like to give a big shoutout to Sophia for her amazing model that she created at home to demonstrate the impact of forest fires and deforestation. This is awesome Sophia and shows your brilliant understanding of our Expedition! I’m super proud – Well done ⭐️⭐️

 

All Block 📚
