After a very warm walk around Thorne Community Woods, it was lovely to return to the wonderful Year 5 Learning Councillors coming to read us a story. They were so confident reading aloud to us and everyone enjoyed the story. Thank you Sophie and Scarlet. x
This afternoon year 6 enjoyed a lovely walk to Thorne Community Woods as part of their hook week learning. Despite everyone being rather warm and tired on the way back, it was lovely and cool whilst in the shade of the trees in the the woodland.
This afternoon we had the most amazing workshop using VR headsets to ‘enter’ the rainforest. It was a fantastic experience and so much fun seeing how everyone reacted to the animals they were confronted with on their journey. I am not sure how screamed the loudest when the tarantula approached them!
This morning we completely immersed ourselves in the rainforest by reading the many clues to find out about the different layers of the rainforest. We treasure hunted new vocabulary around the classroom, looked at an image, read lots of facts and shared a poem; all of this helped us collaborate to create anchor charts. We went on to produce our own rainforest flap books and I was blown away by not only the recall of facts but by the time and care taken in ensuring their work was presented to a high standard.
Keep up the great work everyone! Mrs Jackson x
Tomorrow (Wednesday 6th September) is National Read a Book Day!
Why not enjoy a book together after school to celebrate the day? We’d love for you to email us any photos of you enjoying your reading!
After enjoying songs then s’mores around the campfire. The children are now settling for bed.
Fantastic morning – crew checkin, aqua park fun with many overcoming their fears, picnic lunch with complementary chips followed by crew debrief!
This afternoon the children wrote letters to themselves about what they want to achieve by the end of Year 6. The children all thought really carefully about their own personal goals and aspirations – considering their HOWLs, character growth, crew, SATs, academic success and beautiful work. After they finished, they were sealed in envelopes addressed to themselves and put away to save for the end of the year. The children will get to open and read them again in July and see the progress they have made and how successful they have been towards achieving their goals.
