Harvest Thanks!

By Mrs H WILEMAN23rd October 2020

The children in the Hub have been celebrating Harvest by making ‘Harvest Creatures’, using fruit and vegetables. They took great pride in displaying their creations outside our Hub entrance and couldn’t wait to show their parents at the end of the day.

We were all very proud of the children for their discussions about all the things they were thankful for. They drew some lovely, detailed pictures and completed some beautiful writing.

                               

Labelling!

What a fun lesson year 1 had labelling things that can be found in our classroom. To make our labels more detailed we used adjectives. Our classroom was covered in sticky notes! Amazing job year 1.

Hot Seating!!!

Year one had a fantastic time hot seating Geronimo the character from our story by David Walliams! We asked him lots of questions about how it felt to not be able to fly and what it’s like living in the Antarctica. Our Geronimo was a super actor and our audience were spectacular! We followed up our hot seating session by using some brilliant adjectives in our work!

The Egyptian Cinderella

By Mrs H HEBDEN8th October 2020

The year four pupils have been working hard to show case their story writing skills as we re-told the story of the Egyptian Cinderella from the Pharaoh’s perspective. We were really impressed with the creative content of the stories and the grammar that the children were to apply to this longer piece. Well done Year Four, an amazing start!

Year 2 are studying the story ‘The Way Back Home’ by Oliver Jeffers. So far, they have learned signifiers for the story and created their own story maps. Today, they acted out the story and performed to rest of the class. There were some brilliant performances!

Year 5/6 Poetry Slam

By Miss S STAINTON16th September 2020

The children in year 5/6 have really enjoyed the chance to warm up their writing skills and channel their creativity through writing a range of poems for our poetry slam!

They were then faced with the tricky task of memorising and reciting their poem from memory as they performed it to their classmates.

We were extremely proud of how many children overcame their nerves and performed for their peers, well done year 5/6!

Here’s Enes with his winning performance as voted for by his classmates…
