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.

Beautiful Work This Week

Ready, Steady, Grow!

In the spring of 2023, the KS1 pupils from primary schools across the XP Trust undertook a cross-curricular learning Expedition called ‘Ready Steady Grow’, where they looked to answer the guiding question…

‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’

The Expedition culminated in this beautiful collaborative book – filled with recipes, healthy eating advice and the story behind the students’ learning!

‘What will I do to be a champion in my community?’ Pledges at Norton Infants!
