This week we made 3D faces and aimed to apply some of the the techniques we learnt over the last couple of weeks. Loops, folds, curls, fringe, arches and tabs! They all got stuck in straight away and I was extremely impressed with all their efforts this week! Well done guys and thank you for having a go and listening so well!
Design a library!
This year, we are working hard to raise money to develop our reading for pleasure library so firstly, we would like to say a huge thank you for all your sponsors from the colour run which will go along way to helping us!
Secondly, we still need your help! We would love for you to help us design the library based on the space we have to use which is the foyer area near the hall.
Please design your ideal library and share your plans with Miss Knowles in person or at [email protected] This is for everyone across school to get involved in! Please send your plans by 7th October.
We can’t wait to see your fantastic ideas which will help us design the perfect library!
Year 3/4 – FfT craft club
This week’s the children had the chance to make their own friendship corded bracelets which they seemed to enjoy very much! Lovely little group and great effort.
Year 4- Crew Mumby- Vocabulary Detectives
Today we used our new reading book, Rose Blanche, to develop our vocabulary skills. Children were tasked with unpicking the illustrations before matching them to key events in the chapter. The level of discussion and eye for detail was impressive- Well done crew!
Y4- Crew Mumby- A great start to AR!
The children have settled into the reading norms well in Year 4. Many children have already quizzed on multiple books and have scored 80% or more! Well done, keep it up! Remember, books read at home can often be found on Accelerated Reader and be quizzed on.
Year 4 – our amazing WW2 expert
We had a wonderful expert visitor in school today who had fantastic WW2 knowledge and had even researched into people who lived in Thorne but played keys roles in the war, one who was actually awarded the Victoria Cross.
The children also got to see different original items from the war, uniform, weapons, gas masks and lots of other items too. They were hooked! Just ask them about it, if they haven’t shared with you already.
Year 4 – PE and XP outdoors
Year 4s PE session will be on Fridays and XP outdoors will be on Tuesdays up to Christmas.
Please see below information around clothing and kit. Many thanks, year 4!
A great start to our new expedition!
The children in class 11 have shown superb engagement in our new expedition focused on WW2. We have been busy immersing ourselves in this topic by building a background knowledge of the subject. On Monday, we began our week by taking part in an evacuation experience with a visit to the local church. On Wednesday, we unpicked some of the key vocabulary that we will use in this expedition; we used sources of evidence to work out the meaning of each word. Today, we have used map work to identity allies during the war. To end our week, we have an expert visitor in school tomorrow. A fantastic start!
Here are are few snaps from our church visit:
Sculpture club
Just want to say a big thank you to sculpture club. They were fab at listening and learning about the different paper sculpture techniques this week! Check out what they have done below. A few more techniques to show them next week, but they have been set a challenge to think about what they’d like to start to make. Ensuring they apply some of these techniques to create something 3D!
