Musical Monday

Today, Class 8 have been learning all about the key elements of music – timbre, dynamics and pitch. We enjoyed listening to music and considering how changes in these different elements altered the impact of some of our favourite songs. We used our arms like real composers to help us think about the changes as we heard them.

Grand Designs Showcase

Today in Class 8, we have enjoyed s gallery show and tell of our castle models. The children enjoyed showing their models, complete with working drawbridges, and then offering critique and praise to one another. A great way to end our first week back to school after half-term!

Throughout March, as a school we are planning to walk from John o Groats to Lands end and back! That’s 1,748 miles!

If my calculations are correct as a school we only need to do 110,505 steps a day! Easy!

So charge up your fit bits and smart watches and get your walking shoes ready!

At the end of the week complete the google form that I have attached to this blog and we will record your steps. There will be weekly prizes in school for most steps in a week and all school staff will be getting involved too.

Good luck and I hope you enjoy the challenge

Box model castles

Year 1 have had a great afternoon doing their box model castles. We have cut out drawbridges, arrow slits and crenellations around the top.

 

We need to add string to our drawbridges to make them work and paint them so keep checking our blog to find out how they look.

 

Thank you

As part of mental health and well being week last week Key Stage 1 enjoyed learning a dance that has gone viral and really wanted to do their own…who are we to let them down 🙂

 

So, we have an end of term video that Key Stage 1 would love to share with you.

Thank you to children at home and in school and to parents and carers for all of your hard work and supporting school in everything we do.

 

Have a lovely half term
