Design a library!

16th September 2024Rebecca Knowles

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!

Sculpture club

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!

It’s a hat-trick for Beatrice who has been having a dabble with sewing – well done!
Charlotte has honed her sewing skills to perfection by making this gorgeous remembrance wreath – Wowza!
Levi was very proud to be given the Player of the Match award last weekend and he couldn’t wait to share it with his crew. Well done, Levi!

Class 10 – BBK – Researching The Blitz

16th September 2024Claire Dutton

Today, we have been busy working collaboratively to build our background knowledge (BBK) by exploring sources of information about the Blitz in WW2. We then used this research to help us ask and answer questions about what ‘the Blitz’ means, why and when it happened, what it was like to experience the Blitz and – most importantly – when and why did it stop. Why not ask us some questions about our learning at home and see how much new knowledge we can share. For instance … what is the difference between an Anderson shelter and a Morrison shelter?

Class 10 Shout Outs!

4th September 2024Claire Dutton

Big shout outs today go to Aria and Freya!

Over the summer, Aria has completed a big reading challenge at the local library – reading for 10 minutes every day! Aria was so in love with her reading that she wouldn’t even put her book down as she helped mum in the supermarket with her shopping … well done, Aria – keep up the fantastic work and hopefully we can all take a leaf out of your book and do the same!

And, Freya has brought in our very first piece of homework – a fantastic model of an air raid shelter like those used in WW2. Brilliant work, Freya – you’ve done a super job! I wonder what you might choose from the Homework Menu next?
