What a busy week, but we have really enjoyed our first week back.

We have really tried to focus on our HoWL score this week in all 3 areas (work hard, get smart and be kind). This saw us achieve an average of 3 this week 😀. We are now one step closer to our Nelli Day visit 🐾.

This week, we kick-started our art case study by investigating the work of Quentin Blake. We worked together to identify some of his illustrations and to have a go at our own illustrations. Over the next couple of weeks, we will be creating our own heroes in the style of Quentin Blake.

In art, we will also have a visit from Natasha Clarke. She is a talented local artist, who is going to help the crews create portraits of famous heroes as part of our finished product. You can see some of her amazing artwork here.

Coach Luke and Miss Tiede have been delivering our PE and we are working on basketball skills! It has been great to see the crew working as a team to develop their passing skills. 

Next week, sees our Walkathon event take place. We have our fingers crossed for good weather so that we can complete our 100 laps and have some fun in the process. Please could we ask that any sponsor money be sent to school this week.

Have a great week!

What a great week we have had. It certainly feels like our little crew is bonding and finding our feet and confidence. I have really been blown away by their determination, excitement and characters this week.

This week we started looking at our expedition – ‘What can I do to be a hero in my community?’ We have enjoyed our hook week (photos will be in our this week in the phase video). We learnt a poem, made our own superheroes, became cartoon heroes and trained to become heroes. The children looked amazing in their costumes and smiles galore filled the room.

We look forward to seeing everyone on Monday. Have a great weekend.
Mr Longley, Miss Holdsworth and Mrs Brown.
