Non-Uniform day 6th July 2023

On Thursday 6th July we will be holding a non-uniform day to support our Summer Fayre. We ask that the children bring in a chocolate donation or a bottle (which will go on our infamous bottle stall – this can range from bubble bath, water, fruit juices or a bottle of fizz) rather than the usual fee. 

Thank you for your continued support. 

Voice of an angel

WOW! WOW! WOW!

Today was the turn of Shiloh to share her talent with us. She had told me she wanted to sing which I was surprised by as she can be quite shy. However, this afternoon she blew us all away!

This confident girl stood up in front of her crew and sang like an angel. I have no idea where she has been hiding that voice but I’m very glad she felt comfortable enough to share with us. Shiloh has only ever sang in front of her family so this was the first time she sang in front of a group.

Planning – writing

Once we had finished assessments, it was time to get cracking with our writing in preparation for the final product.

Today, we critiqued a model text and gave praises, notices and wonders before starting to plan out what we’ll write about in each stanza.

We’re looking forward to writing the poems and then sharing them with the community.

Pajamarama

It wasn’t exactly the weather for pjs but that didn’t stop us from having a lovely day filled with reading.

We started the day off with children completing a Who dunnit mystery. Children worked in pairs to read some information which they then had to use to deduce who had stolen the paintings. Lots of the children figured out who done it but massive well done to Jack who give the exact reason why she was guilty.

Before lunch, we completed a couple of kahoot quizzes which is something our crew really enjoy doing. We had one that tested our knowledge on books but also one that was focused on specific characters.

Another activity we completed was a wordsearch. It was lovely seeing them support their peers if they struggled to find a word.

We have also started a new class read today called A different sort of Normal. We are reading this books because it is the real life story of a girl who talks about what it was like growing up with autism and the challenges she encountered. We thought this would be very relevant as it’s important to understand the things that make us different but unique and help us understand ourselves a little bit more.

Running skills

Coach really put Crew Shields through their paces this week during their PE session. They were practicing their running skills. There were lots of tired children when they returned to class.

Well done to Kaleb and Izzy who were stars of the lesson.
