Music Hook Day!

WOW! What an awesome day we’ve had! I’m so pleased with how engaged and excited all the children have been throughout all the Music themed activities linking to our case study.

We began the day by designing CD’s linking to our learning around climate change to immerse our classroom.

We then researched Music through the ages. Each group focussed on music from a different decade and used the IPads to research and create a mood board!

Then the moment we’d all been waiting for… KARAOKE! We were all blown away by how brave and confident everyone were to get up and sing in front of everyone! What an absolutely brilliant afternoon!

What is beautiful in our community?

Year 4 have kick started Hook Week with a lovely walk around our community today.

We focussed on what is beautiful in our community and what we think is spoiling it.

The children were really reflective in their responses and also enjoyed the fresh air chatting and catching up after Christmas! There was a lovely, buzzing Crew spirit today!

The children then made pledges about what they are going to do to keep our local community beautiful! Super start Year 4!

Christmas Competition Winners!

Well done to Abbie and Damion for winning our two Christmas competitions! The winning elf name was ‘Cinnamon’ and the total number of candy canes was 52. We managed to raise a fantastic total to go towards our Year 6 leavers fund so thank you for all of your donations.

Football fun in PE!

The children have created a critique that they wanted to share;

I notice- we have learnt how to do high touches and low touches

we have learnt how to pass the ball closer and further

I praise- we now feel confident to collaborate with bigger groups to master these skills.

we have remembered the importance of looking up

I wonder- if we can get smart by remembering all of the skills we’ve practised this term and always remember to keep moving, be open and find space.
