This week the children have been looking at the illustrations inside Emily Hughes book ‘Wild’. The children have generated ideas and question about the strange character and considered her story. The children had the opportunity to use a wide range of media to recreate two illustrations that show the character feeling different emotions.
Well what a fun-filled term this has been! We’ve packed so much into such a short space of time, especially with the snow week thanks to the Beast from the East. What a fantastic memory for all of the children to have experienced. We don’t know where the time has gone and we can’t believe it’s almost the summer term.
On Friday 16th March the children took part in a series of skipping challenges to raise money for Sport Relief. These included a team skip challenge, backwards skip, hoop skip and a skip relay.
The children showed great sportsmanship, cheering on their team and supporting each other. Not only did we have lots of fun, the money raised will go to Sport Relief and help disadvantaged people across the UK.
Thank you to all of you for your kind donations!
Yet another busy week in Year 2! In English the children have created their own stories after being inspired by the book ‘Orion and the Dark’. They created some excellent story maps with a wide range of vocabulary and used these as their plans for writing.
In Reception this week we have been having lots of fun on our new ‘rustic’ bike track. The children have enjoyed having races and using the chalk to record their scores.
What an exciting week it has been for our little explorers! We have been thoroughly embracing Science Week through a range of exploring, investigating and recording.
Year One have had a fantastic week learning all about Science. We started off with a Forensic Science interactive workshop where the children had to search for clues to solve the crime. Great fun was had looking for DNA and investigating the crime scene!
This week the children have become scientists. They have had the most fantastic time investigating and thinking scientifically. They have carried out an experiment on separating liquids, making predictions about whether the liquids would change colour, whether they would bubble or whether they would combine together… ask your children the outcome of that investigation…
We were very excited to celebrate a belated World Book Day on Thursday 8 March. The children dressed up as their favourite book characters and took part in a range of activities including sharing books with their buddies, making bookmarks with reading prompts, designing their own book covers and creating decorated book doors.
