Funky Friday Craft – year 3/4
Today we have put our hands to making Halloween moon silhouettes! Using a golden paper plate and black paper! Here’s what they have managed to produce this week.
Crew Knowles: Black History Month
This morning in crew, we looked at the story ‘Coming to England’ as we are learning more about The Windrush Generation. Coming to England is a true story of a person called Floella Benjamin. The children were really engaged in thinking about how people might have felt, and what they might be thinking as they came to England for the first time on the Empire Windrush.
Why not listen to the story for yourself here?
NSPCC ‘The Kindness Challenge’
Next week, we will be taking part in a week full of activities linking to Kindness. This is part of the NSPCC fundraising and awareness week.
We will be taking part in lots of fun activities during Crew each day and there will be lots of opportunities for children to complete Kindness Challenges at home too.
Next Friday, to raise money for the NSPCC, we will be holding a Non-Uniform Day for donations of £1.
Year 3/4 Author Visit
As part of National Poetry Day, we had a fantastic afternoon when the author and illustrator Phil Sheppard visited us! We heard some really funny stories that he’d written as well as some funny poems and rhymes! There was definitely lots of laughs! We even practised some illustration skills as he taught us how to draw a shark!
Crew Knowles: National Poetry Day
This year’s National Poetry Day theme is refuge so we spent our crew session looking at what refuge means as well as at different examples of poetry. We then had a go at creating our own acrostic poems to reflect on what refuge means to us!
We also enjoyed listening to this little funny poem we found!
