In expedition this week we are thinking about how sounds can make us feel different emotions. We have listened to different pieces of music and talked about how they make us feel – some made us feel relaxed, excited and tired!
Next we looked at the work of Wassily Kandinsky and how he used shapes, colours and emotions in his work. We chose our favourite piece of music and tried some artwork of our own. It was very fun and helped us to feel relaxed. We would love to do this activity again!
Today, class 11 had to get their thinking caps on and match some feature labels to their new model text. All in all they did a pretty good job as was all done in pairs no adult help just encouragement 😊.
I must say as well how impressed I was with the overall presentation as well. Here they are hard at work.
In Reception we decided to turn Funky Friday time into a mini Baby Shower to celebrate Miss Vaughan’s last day. We played put the dummy on the baby and guess the smell! It looked disgusting but the smells were delicious! Chocolate and Butterscotch Angel Delight were our favourites. We also had party dancing and party food! We would like to wish Miss Vaughan a very happy maternity leave. She will be greatly missed by all the adults and children in EYFS but she has promised to do a hangout when her beautiful baby girl has arrived!
I would live to give a huge shout out to all the Y5 children who have logged on at home today and completed their expedition work. I have been very impressed with your blast off work and your work linked to cave paintings. Here are a few pictures of our cave paintings!
Well done Y5 let’s have the same again tomorrow!
Everyone was super excited to enter the walls of Castle Crew Rodgers this morning. What a thrill to have our very own drawbridge, dungeon, Knight and Ye Olde Reading Corner to immerse us in our new expedition. Here are some photographs of our learning environment.
We can’t wait to get started!
It’s been so lovely to see the children in school helping to make our classrooms look fantastic, ready for whenever everyone else returns. They have done an amazing job bringing our castle classroom to life…what do you think?

Wishing all the families and children in Class 3 and 4 a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year. We have had an amazing first term in Reception filled with wonderful learning. We hope you all enjoyed your calendars that were created to celebrate the learning that took place in our Expedition this term. The children were very excited to see the finished product.
Stay safe and have lots of fun making wonderful memories!
Thank you for sharing these beautiful stories with us Ava! Happy Christmas! ⭐️
This week the children have been learning to name and describe the properties of three dimensional solid shapes. Literally anything you can pick up!
Here are some of our fun moments this week!
What 3D shapes do you notice?
Congratulations to our learning legends so far this week… ROBYN and ELLA! Well done girls 🙂
