Class 8’s first peer critique

The children in class 8 spent time critiquing their partners draft writing from yesterday. They learnt how to ‘be kind’, ‘be helpful ‘ and ‘be specific’ in their feedback. They were so helpful to their friends and it really helped them to check spellings in their writing and to ensure that their sentences made sense. What a fabulous start to year 2.

Well done crew!

Class 8 has awesome writers!

I have been absolutely blown away today with the amount of fantastic effort that every single child in class 8 has put into their writing. They have all been working on their handwriting, which is now looking beautiful for everyone. I love the pride that they have taken in their work and the effort has not gone unnoticed, which is why I wanted a picture of everyone on the blog! Amazing work class 8, I am so, so proud of your progress!

South Yorkshire Fire and Rescue “Kitchen Nightmares” Competition

The competition is the first part of our “Kitchen Nightmares” campaign that will be running throughout the autumn. Children aged between 6-12 are invited to take part.

Our advice to help you avoid a kitchen nightmare is:

  • Keep electrical leads, cardboard and fabrics well away from the hob and keep ovens, hobs and grills clean from grease and crumbs
  • Keep an eye on cooking at all times and never leave it unattended
  • Switch off cooking appliances when you’ve finished cooking and gone to bed
