A big thank you to Tyler from Year 4. Today, in his role as ‘reading ambassador’, Tyler joined our crew and read us a great story – all about a cow in space! Well done, Tyler – you showed great courage and we enjoyed listening to your funny and amusing story.
This week, we have had a number of lovely contributions to our home learning displays. Shout outs go to: Beatrice and Aria, who have both produced beautifully coloured and labelled diagrams of volcanoes; Delia, who made a lovely Union Jack flag to commemorate VE Day; and, Reid, who took our practice of direct speech and inverted commas back home to really hone his skills – great job!
In Year 3, we have started work on writing newspaper articles all about a volcanic eruption! To help us, we have explored a model text about a deadly volcano in Thorne … Mount Peel, of course! And, we have been using images from our key text – Escape From Pompeii – to help generate ideas and vocabulary that we will then use in our own writing. I can’t wait to read everyone’s final reports next week 🙂
Tosia in Class 10 is always being kind and helpful with her crew mates so it was lovely to catch this on camera last week as Tosia was helping McKenzie by pouring his water for his lunch. Well done, Tosia – keep up the great work! Who will be caught on camera next???
Last Thursday, in preparation for the celebration of VE Day tomorrow, we enjoyed a special assembly by the Royal British Legion. We enjoyed hearing stories from the original VE Day – 80 years ago! and, we reflected on the differences in childhood between then and now.
Don’t forget that tomorrow marks 80 years since WW2 ended and the very first VE Day was celebrated. To join in the celebrations, children are welcome to come to school in red, white and blue outfits to represent the Union Jack flag and to remember this historical day.
Well done to all children who received an award linked to our habits of work of learning and our character traits this week. Keep up the great work!
Class 10 have loved learning all about earthquakes and volcanoes this last week, and Martha has worked hard on producing this lovely labelled diagram of a volcano for her home learning. Well done, Martha – I can’t wait to see everyone else’s home learning as the weeks go on 🙂
Class 10 are lucky enough to be accessing an extra PE session this Friday, with YourPE. Please can you ensure they have their kits and trainers with them. The session will be outdoors so please send hats, sunscreen and water bottles as the warm weather is expected to remain. Thank you, Mrs Dutton.
Our PE session today was a hot one! The children were learning and practising their fielding skills ready for our Summer term of cricket.
Please remember to send your child with a suitable PE kit and trainers every Monday, ready for our PE session. As we head into the warmer months, it would be good for them to have access to sunscreen, sunglasses, hats and a water bottle as we will be trying to take our PE sessions outdoors as much as possible. Thank you.
Our new expedition, What Happens When Nature Strikes?, has got off to a fabulous start with our first case study into geography. This week, we have been learning about tectonic plates and how these effect each other to cause earthquakes and tsunamis. We have also explored differences in how mountains and volcanoes are formed. Why not ask us about the different parts of a volcano and see if we can remember what they do!
