As part of hook week, we have researched cave paintings and then completed some of our own! These will be added to our classroom environments to continue to immerse our classrooms!

After what has been a tough year for everyone, these last two weeks have been a great way to end it. The children have enjoyed Christmas dinner, party food, crafts, films and much more. I hope you all have a brilliant Christmas and I look forward to seeing you all in the new year!
This morning, I had the great pleasure of going to Thorne community woods to see our final product. All the propaganda art work looks amazing and the QR codes which takes us to the site all work. On there you can see all the children’s amazing work throughout this expedition.
I would like to give a huge shout out to all the children in Y5/6 who have worked so hard throughout this expedition which we started all the way back in August! Despite COVID restrictions not allowing us to go on school visits the children have really embraced our Autumn expedition and I am really proud of their work on the product and the google site.
Well done Y5/6 and have a fantastic Christmas holidays. You all deserve it.
Crew 5/6
On Wednesday this week, the children took part in a Christingle lesson, learning about why Christmas is important to Christians. The children created their own Christingle using an orange, a candle and other ingredients, with each item representing something in Jesus’ life. Well done to those involved!
Here are some more photos from our Christmas craft day! The children made Christmas cards to send home and created an elf version of themselves.
Why not enjoy a walk to Thorne Community Woods with your family and lookout for Year 5 and 6’s new Expedition product! Will you be able to spot our propaganda boards??
Watch the virtual video below so you know exactly where to go!
Here’s a quick preview of some of the different activities we have been doing for Christmas craft day. The children really enjoyed making Christmas cards and baubles to decorate the classroom. Stay tuned for more upcoming pictures in our class video!
As part of our geography learning Mrs Hardman planned an awesome lesson on locating rivers! We even had chance to learn more about where rivers come from! Watch our video to see our learning in action.
As part of our expedition ‘how can we help the world we live in?’ we have focused on deforestation and the importance of trees. We had an expert visit us in school to teach us how trees adapt to their environment and we had a look around our grounds at some of the different trees. We were shocked how different all of the trees were and the different ways they had adapted to their surroundings!
As part of our Christmas celebrations this year, Crew Taylor will be putting together a number of different videos. It would be great if you were able to send me a photo (preferably landscape) of your child decorating the Christmas tree at home. This could include putting the lights/baubles on or even a picture next to an already decorated tree. It would be brilliant to see as many children on the videos as possible!
