The life cycle of a butterfly 🦋

25th March 2023Sarah Mcglone

We have been looking at the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar which has led to us looking at the life cycle of a butterfly.

We’ve talked about each stage of the life cycle and used pasta to represent the life cycle. We have even got our own caterpillars that will eventually turn into butterflies for us to release into our outdoor environment! We check in on them every day to make sure they are eating enough to get bigger, they will then become cocoons before turning into beautiful butterflies 🦋 They have already grown A LOT and we can’t wait to see how big they will get.

In running club we decided to measure our progress by completing a good old fashioned bleep test, something we found difficult in the beginning! However, with determination and some good breathing techniques the children reached level 9 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ an amazing achievement 🥳

Reading Champions!

24th March 2023Sophie Elmer

Another week where we have been able to celebrate lots more Reading Champions in school! It was great to see so many children stood up in Achievers Assembly this week being celebrated for their awesome reading at home. It was lovely to see the beaming smiles on children’s faces and to listen to them talk about how proud they felt. Thank you again to those adults at home who are taking the time to listen to their child/ren read very night.

This week we also celebrated the Crews who collectively read the most at home last week. Crew Marsh won it for KS1 and Crew MI for KS2.

Well done to all of our Reading Champions and their amazing adults at home!

Sketching – Martin Luther King

23rd March 2023Ruth Shields

During our expedition lessons this week, we have completed our first draft of Martin Luther King. When we finished we hd a gallery walk to allow us to appreciate the hard work everyone had put in to their art work. We then discussed critique and how we could make them even better next time. Although they were a first draft, I’m extremely proud of what they have produced and it was lovely hearing them express how they were proud of themselves during check out. Keep an eye out for the next draft…
