Day 3 in class 8…

Today we have been so busy! It started with orienteering this morning. The children used Electronic tags to go around the playground finding the markers, using maps of the school. It timed them to see how quick they were and the children worked with their partners brilliantly. I was tired just watching them run around the field!

After that we had our xp outdoors experience session. We moved around the 3 activities in our crews. These were reading in the teepee tents, toasting and eating marshmallows and then making musical instruments using natural wood from the field. It was so much fun!

Finally we took the cards that we made to a local care home. The residents were so pleased to see us and loved chatting to the children.

Can’t wait for Friday!!! See you in the morning!

Year 5 Orienteering fun!

We had great fun this afternoon orienteering completing timed challenges! Despite the tiredness from camp, Harrison and Charlie from Crew Knowles came first out of the whole school with an incredible time of 3mins 41 seconds!! They were closely followed by Macky and Junior with an amazing time of 3mins 51 seconds! Well done boys – smashed it!

A Masterful Mosaic!

I wanted to share some wonderful home learning from Charlotte in Year 4. Over the holidays, Charlotte carefully crafted a stunning picture of the Colosseum using small tiles to create a detailed mosaic.

Her creativity, patience and attention to detail are clear to see — it is a truly impressive piece of work! The mosaic has already sparked great interest and discussion in class, making it the perfect talking point to kick off our brand-new expedition on the Romans.

Well done, Charlotte — what a fantastic way to start our year!
