Congratulations to Julia and Lawson our two Superstars of the week.
Two well deserved Superstars, excellent effort, manners and attitude all week.
The week began with our first lesson in the newly refurbished Learning Hub. A bright, inspiring and interactive environment where the children can truly engage with all aspects of ICT learning.
With great patience, Mr Youson guided the children through accessing and searching the internet for information.
On Tuesday we continued our topic all about colour in art. The children had great fun mixing primary colours to produce secondary colours.
I have never seen so many shades of green, orange and purple. The children were very focused and produced some lovely work, much better than my own attempt at colour mixing!
Subtraction was the mathematic focus for the week. The children were learning many different ways to subtract (yes there are quite a few!) using a range of equipment.
Here they are learning to ‘find the difference’, quite a tricky concept.
Well done to Julia who is our ‘Hit the Button’ champion for quick recall of times table facts. Mrs McGovern was the staff champion until Mr Cooke accepted the challenge and beat Mrs McGoverns score by 8 points. The competition continues! Watch this space.
Our week ended with glitter, foam, cloud puffs, ocean waves and magic. Our final English lesson linked to Spells by Emiliy Gravitt was to mix a magic potion and write the instructions.
The children had great fun, they made some interesting potions, the classroom was lost in a cloud of glitter and filled with shrieks of delight from the children. A lovely end to our week.
