Shoutout to Year 3- could you all please bring in a cereal box (maybe 2 if you have a spare?). Next week we are getting crafty in our hook week, but we will need some empty cereal boxes. If you have one please send it with the children as soon as possible, they will be being used on Wednesday!
Thank you! Miss Good, Mrs Pearson and Mr Gerrard.
What a fantastic first day back Class 10 have had. I am absolutely blown away by their attitude, hard work and kindness. Have you really had 5 weeks off?
We started today by having XP Outdoors with Mr Kershaw and Class 9. We had to build dens after there was a devastating storm that had sunk our ship. As a Crew, we had to make sure we worked together to collect materials and build dens that we could survive it!
After this, Class 10 were introduced to their first week back, mini-guiding question. We are looking into ‘what does Crew mean to me?’ Using think, pair, share, Class 10 were able to have some interesting discussions about how Crew helps them and others. There were so many fantastic ideas that were discussed! We found out that we would be spreading the message of kindness by painting kind messages onto rocks.
After lunch, we then continued our day by looking for rocks on the school field that could be used for our positivity rocks. We found loads and hope that we can inspire the wider community to complete their own, once ours are completed!
Well done to the children who were out of this world this week and those who won the HoWL points certificates!
Well done to our out of this world winners and our HoWL point certificates!
Well done to all of our out of this world recipients and howl point winners! 😆
As we ended the week, Class 11 have been researching what can cause a flood. We have also looked into how humans can cause flooding, the physical impact to the earth that this can have and then how we can prevent them in the future. I can’t praise Class 11 enough for how well they collaborated with each other. It was another lovely lesson that we have had this week!
I have not got enough praise for the writing that Class 11 have produced. This was the start and I know that it will only get better! We completed the first part of our setting description and applied our knowledge of expanded noun phrases. We created lovely descriptions to describe the farm.
Nope, it’s not those type of weights! We’ve been getting to understand how different objects have a different mass. We used weighing scales to be able to see this and we used our vocabulary of lighter, heavier and mass to gain more confidence with this. Check out how we got on below!
Today, Class 11 have been exploring different features of narrative writing. We looked at a story about a Flood. We have been looking closely at features like fronted adverbials, conjunctions and what actually makes a great story. This included a setting description at the start to set the scene, a problem that happens in the middle and a resolution (we hope) at the end. What impressed me more though was Class 11s collaboration together. They found so many features and just cracked on with the job.
Case Study 1. This ranged from rocks, tectonic plates and earthquakes. We showed such amazing knowledge and resilience to keep going this morning. Check out some of the fantastic work!
We then completed some work on perimeter, which we have become really confident with. Although it was tricky to start off with, we did not let that put us off, worked a little harder at it and the work has been excellent. We drew our own shapes, measured them and then worked out the perimeter. This shows just how far the confidence of EVERYONE has come on.
Unfortunately, the pictures aren’t uploading, so I will try to figure this out.
However, it’s still worth the blog as it was agreed we couldn’t pick only one person for the post card. We made the decision that everyone in Class 11 could earn it for their fantastic Friday. Have a happy, safe and enjoyable week off – you have been amazing these past few weeks especially. Keep it up and enjoy the sun! 😆
