What a fabulous welcome back we had to our final half term today. The children and I were  so happy to be back in class and showed this by following all our HoWLs so closely that we all managed to stay on the green planet all day…something we have never managed to do!

Enjoy these photographs of our re-hook English lesson to help us understand and identify the features of quality instructions.

Also a massive congratulations to our learning legend Luna, who blew me away with her fantastic efforts in a really tricky maths session.

Crew Rodgers had indoor PE today and, continuing with our Dance unit, listened to the Story of Penguin Small who was abandoned by his friends, chased by polar bears and cast adrift on the sea before being reunited with the rest of his colony. They shared their ideas of how he felt and developed movements to show these emotions. See if you can guess any of their interpretations. Miss Barker and I were very impressed by your work.

How amazing are these plant life-cycle drawings produced in Crew Rodgers as part of our science case study? The children confidently used subject specific vocabulary to label each stage of the life-cycle and describe what was happening to the seed. Some of us could even talk about what dormant means and how this related to the state of the plant inside the seed case while it waits for the correct conditions to begin to grow. How very scientific we are! Move over Professor Sprout….Crew Rodgers are catching you up!

So impressed with how Crew Rodgers have returned to school after our 2 week break. We have completed our expedition and maths blast offs as well as re-establishing our class norms, setting ourselves individual HoWL targets, doing some quiet reading and making chickens to decorate our new farm themed classroom…..what a busy day!

Well done everyone…Great to have you back x
