Key stage 1 poetry jam update!

1st December 2021Aime Shaw

Hopefully in the morning at 9am, the weather permitting, year 1 and 2 children will perform their celebration of learning to you outside on the playground. Unfortunately due to covid restrictions and guidance from the Dfe we won’t be able to have you all in the hall at the same time.

After you have dropped the children off at their classrooms at 8.45, we will walk you all around to the gazebo on the ks2 playground where you can stand and socially distance. Please wear a mask if you are able.

We are hoping to then take the children on a walk around the school with any placards that they have brought in from home.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Make the change.. make the placard

29th November 2021Samantha Good

Let’s get creative! Have a go at creating a placard to make a difference on our march.

Remember.. PICK UP LITTER, USE THE BINS!!

Entries to be in no later than Thursday morning to be used in our march to show our community the positive changes we can make to reduce litter, clean up our streets and use the bins! Here is our first beautiful entry, created by the talented Aurora from class 5!

Class 5’s Out of This World

26th November 2021Samantha Good

BIG SHOUT OUT to Liam this week for being our OUT OF THIS WORLD champion.

Liam has been displaying all of our HOWLs and has blown me away with his rhyming words this week in our poetry lessons. He is always making good choices and is a kind and helpful crew member. Thanks Liam, keep up the hard work.

I’d also like to shoutout the rest of class 5 for helping me produce some amazing poems, we created a beautiful acrostic poem all about ROSA PARKS, a rhyming couplet poem about Rosa as well as one about picking up your litter and a shape poem about pollution in the ocean. We have worked very well collaboratively, as a whole class crew!

Class 5 and the computing case study

23rd November 2021Samantha Good

Today we dived deeper into our computing case study and began grappling with the technology. Class 5 drew some amazing patterns and pictures using different shapes and worked hard to collaborate and be kind by using the technology safely and practising the art of sharing.

Our aim is to create beautiful, purposeful work and I cannot wait to see how the safe use of technology will enable us to help us to understand further just what we can do to be a Superhero in our community!

Key stage 1 competition

By Aime Shaw15th November 2021

As part of our celebration of learning for this current expedition, we would like the children to create their own pickets and signs which relate to recycling and putting litter in the bin.

We intend to use them as part of our march in the local community on Thursday 2nd December.

Please complete and bring your picket into school by Monday 29th November – thank you!

There will be a small prize in each class for the best design.

Can’t wait to see what you create,
