In KS1 we are answering the guiding question, What will I do to be a hero in our community? To begin our expedition we are exploring firefighters 🚒 a very brave hero!
To hook us into our new writing we looked into our new book – Vlad and the Great Fire of London. We pieced together the book front cover, predicted what might happen and then became bakers for the morning, experiencing how Vlad and Boxton would have felt in the bakers shop. We baked and tasted some delicious bread 🥖
This week in Year 2 we have been answering the guiding question ‘Does Crew stop at the school gates?’.
We decided to spread some happiness by hiding rocks and books for you all to find and even enjoyed a treat along the way!
Thank you to all the parents who joined us on the walk, there were some very tired legs at the end!!
This week in Crew we have explored what it means to be kind and how we can show this in the wider community. Tomorrow KS1 will deliver their kindness stones and books to the local community for them to find, here’s a little sneak peak of our product being developed……
Crew Robson and Crew Godley have been working hard, to get smart today by creating their own colour wheels using their art skills. We will be using our background knowledge to create a piece of crew art work tomorrow – watch this space!
We began by exploring what a colour wheel is and how we can vary shades and tints of colours by adding black or white. We were amazed by the children’s resilience and determination to achieve the desired effect.
Crew Godley have had a fantastic two days developing ‘Crew’, we’ve worked incredibly hard to show we are ready for the challenges of Year 2! We have developed our relationships and communication skills by listening carefully to one and other an allowing everyone to have a voice within our crew.
We have built crew by creating our own crew bunting using printing skills, played crew games to develop our communication skills, carried out our stewardship roles to keep our environment looking beautiful whilst also having time to take part in some yoga 🧘♀️ It’s been a bust two days!
Don’t forget to come along to the KS1 reading cafe tomorrow at 3pm to share a story with your child. Hope to see you all there!
