Thank you to our grown ups for joining Year 6 in their Advent workshop.
Mr Bibb (Miss Bibb’s dad) came to be our VIP reader and what a star! He shared a lovely story about a hungry little hedgehog on his hunting adventures. He even brought in a hedgehog called Heath to help us with our learning.
Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed listening to Mr Bibb share the story and also asking and answering hedgehog themed questions!
Miss Bibb then shared a lovely Hedgehog arty activity to help the children get exciting about some explanation writing they will be doing all about hedgehogs – Hoots Ahoy!
Year 5 have been getting into the Christmas Spirit by learning how to play Jingle Bells, Away in a Manger and Silent Night on the glockenspiel.
The children really enjoyed their weekly session with Mrs Cooke and it was impressive to see them read from sheet music and perform in unison. The children did a wonderful performance that we are very proud to share with you!
Thank you for making us feel so festive Mrs Cooke!
We received a letter from Father Christmas asking if we were planning on sending him a letter this year because December is only 8 days away and he has only received 4 letters from children in Year 2. We will be writing our letters in our English lessons. He left us freashly, baked gingerbread biscuits that Mrs Claus baked.
Year 5 have been getting creative in their English writing lesson by publishing a procedural text entitled ‘How to Make an Origami Bookmark’.
The children carefully planned their instructions on how to make their chosen design using lots of imperative verbs and creative flair! The result was a range of imaginative and thoughtfully designed creations with a set of step-by-step instructions to help any budding origami enthusiasts to create their own at home.
All of the designs were incredibly impressive spanning from jungle animals to Marvel characters, rusty robots and out-of-this-world aliens!
The children had lots of fun exploring their creative skills and learnt a thing or two about procedural texts along the way! Well done Year 5!
We have been learning all about instruction writing. Today, we learnt the importance in clear instructions. We made jam sandwiches ready to write our own instructions, next week.
Year 2 would like to thank the PTA for our new books. We took one of our new class readers to forest school to enjoy with a hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows.
This week Reception began our learning based on the book ‘Whatever Next’ by Jill Murphy. We had great fun acting out the story and have been busy making our own rockets out of junk modelling!
