The importance of Pupil Voice!

Pupil Leaders and Wellbeing Champions met with Mrs Parker today to discuss the results of our recent Parents and Pupil questionnaire. What amazing feedback we had!  All children present agreed that they felt happy and safe in school.  They are looking forward to sharing information and raising questions to their own classes next week.  Mrs Blomeley

 


Design Technology

Year 2 absolutely loved designing fire engines and making their own model fire engine!

They carefully planned their detailed designs.  Children learnt about wheels and axles and used them in their designs.

We are very impressed with their fabulous Design Technology skills.

 


Gymnastics

Today we focused on creating symmetrical and asymmetrical balances using points (small body areas) and patches (large body parts) with a partner in a simple sequence.


The Gingerbread Man

Welcome back Nursery,

This half term we will be learning about Bonfire night, The Gingerbread Man and we will finish with Christmas celebrations! I have attached the Medium Term Plan and Home Learning Grid for anyone wanting to do some additional learning (this is entirely optional).

Evolution

Year 6 looked closely at characteristics today and drew a representation of themselves in the form of Little Miss or Mr Men. 


Hot seating

Today we did some hot seating where we got into the role of our characters in Stone Age Boy to infer what they may say in the story. We had some great acting and super oracy skills were demonstrated through our speaking and listening whilst answering questions.


Xmas Donation from Ryder & Dutton

Head Girl and Head Boy met Ryder & Dutton today - to receive our Christmas Hamper. We are so grateful for all their donations and support! This will be in our raffle for the fair on 10th December. 


Project with the English National Opera

Yesterday, we found an envelope and lots of composer badges in our classroom. There was a letter from the English National Opera to tell us all about a project where they need our help composing to finish off a piece of music. We watched a video about the libretto 'Blue, Red, Yellow' and looked at how the composer was feeling and what he was thinking about when he thought of the different colours.
