Class 10 – Peer Critique and Coaching in Handwriting

Class 10 are busy working on their handwriting and today, in our handwriting lesson, we worked in pairs to give specific and helpful critique to our partners in order to help them improve their quality and craftsmanship. I was super impressed with the excellent conversations I could hear between everyone – well done boys and girls!

Class 10 – Shout Outs

Two shout outs to share today …

Well done to Ivy-Beau who shared the handful of medals which she received at the weekend from her dancing competition – Well done, Ivy-Beau!

And, a shout out to Henry who brought in his entry for the Roald Dahl poster competition as part of his extended study … it looks fantastic!! … There is still time to enter if you haven’t already as the closing date is this Friday.

Year 3 – RE: How do Jews use stories to remember God’s covenant?

In RE, Year 3 are learning all about the stories of the Jewish faith and we are thinking particularly about how they help Jews to remember God’s promises to them.

So far, we have looked at the story of Noah’s ark, and – just last week – we found out about the story of Abraham and his wife Sarah who moved away from all of their friends and family to a new place because they trusted so much in God’s instruction to them.

I wonder which Jewish story we’ll be enjoying this week?

Sherlock & Cinders – How to audition!

We are excited to announce that auditions for this year’s school production will be taking place via video submission.

Your child will be bringing home a script for the role or roles they wish to audition for. To take part, they should record a short video of themselves reading for that part (or parts). If they would also like to include singing the relevant song, this can be found on YouTube.

Once recorded, please email your child’s audition video(s) to [email protected] no later than 3rd October.

This approach allows every child the opportunity to audition in a relaxed environment and ensures we can give each submission the time and attention it deserves.

We look forward to seeing the children’s talents shine and are excited to begin casting our production. Thank you in advance for your support in helping your child prepare their audition.

Kind regards,
The Sherlock and Cinders Crew

Year 3 Drax visit!!

Today the Year 3’s were lucky enough to have some special visitors in school. Our visitors were from Drax Power Station and taught us how to become engineers. They spoke to us about the different forces and how energy is made. We then used our knowledge to design and build our very own cars powered by pneumatic devices that we made. We had so much fun!! We definitely have some budding engineers in our year!
