Congratulations to the girls for a fantastic dance competition last weekend – you are both superstars x

Y6 visited the Lifewise Centre today to participate in the Crucial Crew programme. The Lifewise Centre provides the children with essential knowledge and skills to be able to keep safe in the local community.

Some of the different scenarios included road safety, transport safety, fire safety, water safety and a mock trial in a Magistrates’ Court! All of the scenarios are taught by volunteering experts from South Yorkshire Police, South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue and the South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership.

The children participated in all of the scenarios showing real maturity and thoughtfulness. Check out the slide show below.

Thank you to all the adults that joined us this morning for Family Learning. The children were amazing at showing the adults the grid method that we have been using to support us with our artwork. It was so lovely to see our families joining in with the task and producing some great pictures, from Vivienne Westwood, Usain Bolt, Taylor Swift and Dwayne Johnson – to name just a few! The children will be continue to draft and improve their artwork in our expedition lessons as we work towards creating our final drafts of Martin Luther King Jr, Rosa Parks and Emmeline Pankhurst, which will form part of the Y5/6 product.

Well done on a successful weekend of dancing competitions; it was lovely to see all your medals, your rosette and trophy in crew this morning.

This week we have been focusing on different ways we can improve our reading fluency. Today we worked in small groups to rehearse our performance of our weekly text, a poem called Grannie’. It was great to see the collaboration and listen in to the discussions around the different components of fluency. Well done guys – I always enjoy our reading lessons!
