I loved meeting my new crew on Tuesday and finding out different things about everyone. We firstly wrote our names and I was very impressed with how hard everybody worked. We then took part in a marshmallow challenge, where we had to build a structure so the egg would not smash. We also went on an outdoor scavenger hunt and then finished off our day drawing self portraits.
It was a very busy today but I look forward to teaching and getting to know the children more next year.
In maths, we ordered and remembered the days of the week.
Thank you to our parents for coming to our celebration of learning and purchasing our final products!
In KS1 we have been exploring how to keep safe in the water, especially with the warmer weather on the way. We produced some beautiful posters to help our crew remember to think carefully about entering the water 🌊
Here are our key messages to our crew……
Dominic said, “don’t go near the edge, you might fall in.”
Leo told his crew, “there might be rubbish in lakes what might pull you under.”
Evie said, “Don’t go in water without a grown up because you could drown and there isn’t a grown up to help you.”
This afternoon marked the end of our LKS2 Expedition, ‘Earth Shattering Events’. To celebrate all of the learning that had taken place we invited parents, grandparents and other family members to join us for a special celebration in the school hall. Children sang songs, performed poems and shared interesting facts that they had learnt about earth shattering events such as, earthquakes, volcanoes and floods. The children were amazing and we were all super proud of them! 👏
Thank you so much to all of the grown ups who attended to support their child/ren, it was a great turnout! Also if you didn’t get the opportunity to buy one of our celebratory baskets that includes the book that the children created as part of their Autumn Expedition, then these will be available to purchase from Crew Thompson after school tomorrow!
What an amazing morning! Crew McGlone and Crew Welburn were absolutely fabulous during our Sports Day and the amount of grown ups that joined us was wonderful! The children were so well behaved and really enjoyed themselves. The weather managed to hold out and the rain held off – wahoo! Thank you so much to all the grown ups who came to share this lovely event with us, your support is very much appreciated!
As we approach the end of the year, and our wonderful Yr2s are about to take on one final challenge – their Final Word presentations!
Thank you to those who have already signed up to come and share your child’s presentation. If you haven’t signed up or require another time please let me know and I’ll try my best to accommodate you. The children have worked really hard on their presentations and are excited to share them with you.
More pictures of our extremely exciting day on Tuesday!
Because we usually only stay for a morning session, we got to enjoy our first proper dinner time as we stayed for a FULL DAY for our transition! We thought our lunch was delicious and did an amazing job of lining up at the servery and we were very polite when talking to our lovely kitchen staff.
Year 6 sunflowers look amazing. They have grown so much 🌱🌻
Such a lovely day spent as our new crew. We’ve completed some crew challenges while also getting to know each other. Children made name cards as there were lots of new faces for me but I think I’d remembered them all by the end of the day. We’ve played chess, finding someone in the crew who like marvel films for instance, some inference and predictions about a story which lead to us discussing the moral of the story. This afternoon, children had to work together to get into height order and birthday order before finishing off with one partner drawing and the other explaining what they had to draw. ✍️
We discussed the importance of crew and some of the expectations for next year. We’ll be able to get these properly embedded when we return after the summer break.
I’m looking forward to a great year with year 4 and I’ve every faith they will be amazing. Exciting times ahead. 😊🤩
