Month: January 2023

This week we were learning about different types of renewable and non-renewable energies, I wonder how many the kids can remember?

On Monday afternoon P7 worked on a, really tricky, set of loop cards about energy where each question led to the answer and the next question.  Both team worked exceptionally well together and showed great perseverance when the loop didn’t quite work leading to a successful outcome for both teams.

Meanwhile, P6 were busy with active schools coordinator Jennifer Thompson working on the Young Leaders Programme.  This award trains them to lead play sessions with younger pupils developing key skills such as collaboration, communication, leadership and initiative.  

We have an exceptional reading culture in the class with all learners reading on a daily basis.  There is nothing I love more than to hear them swapping book recommendations or negotiating how to get the book they want.

This term we are reading The Boy at the Back of the Class as a class novel.  This is an excellent book with themes of friendship, belonging and war.

T3 W3 – Homework Grid

HAPPY SNOW DAY!

Please find attached a grid filled with valuable learning activities that the kids can do today if you are looking for something to occupy their time.  If, however, you would rather your child get outside, enjoy the snow and take advantage of this extra downtime that is absolutely fine, there is no pressure. Please send in some snow day pictures, I would love to see them all sledging, building snowmen and making snow angels 🙂

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2023 and back to school.  Today the kids have been creating new year themed artwork inspired by a piece of art that we saw at the museum when we visited with Mrs Burr.  I think  they  have  done  a fantastic  job  with  their graffiti murals.
