We retold the story using actions and words, with some children being fantastic mini-techers and taking over the storytelling.In Maths we have looked at the language associated with the passage of time and followed and gave instructions about how to look after a baby. We also helped a visitor to our class - Wally the puppet to get ready for school.
We ended the week with a fantastic Pyjama Party as our Wow Starter for our topic. We danced ,sang, ate treats and played games - all in our pyjamas.

This week Class 8 have been linking their English lessons to their Topic work on the Stone Age. We used props and hooks like a woolly mammoth fur, a camp fire, food, spears, stones for making tools and wild animal footprints. The children acted out what life would be like during the Stone Age times and we brought our story of The Stone Age Boy to life.
In Science we are studing Light and Class 8 made puppets and used torches to make shadows. They also changed the size and shape of the shadows too. I'm sure your child would love to tell you all about it.
A FANTASTIC weeks learning Class 8. We are so proud of your learning and hope you are proud too.

As part of our RE learning this half term we have been thinking about places that are special to us. The children thought about where it was that was special to them, why this place is so special and how they feel when they are there. The children really explored their feelings and discussed some very important reasons as to why their special place were important to them.
Below are a few examples of class 5's special places with their own thought and feelings to give a little more detail about their choices.

Class 8's FANTASTIC work on Black History Curriculum Week.
Date: 27th Oct 2020 @ 8:45am
During curriculum week the whole school looked at the Black History. Class 8 had studied Rosa Parks, who in 1955 travelling home on a bus, refused to stand up from her seat for a white person. This was against the law at the time and Rosa Parks was jailed and fined, however this one person’s stand ended up changing the law. We also studied Martin Luther King, who helped Rosa Parks among many to stand up for equal rights. The children took part in a variety of activities like acting out famous scenes, researching all about the life of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, writing fact files, drawing portraits and they carried out debates about equal rights where they raised questions and discussed them.

Black History week - Mary Seacole
Date: 23rd Oct 2020 @ 8:39pm
This week in Class 3 we only had two days to do our curriculum week learning, but we worked really hard in class, and had two fantastic days learning all about Mary Seacole for black history week.
Class 3 took part in lots of different activities and even became super doctors and nurses creating our own herbal remedies just like Mary Seacole, as well as producing some beautiful portraits of her.
We learnt lots of new super facts and wrote some brilliant sentences to describe her using lots of different adjectives. We were so impressed with all of the things that the children remembered. We can't wait to start our new topic next half term , learning all about another nurse - Florence Nightingale.
We hope class 3 have a lovely week off school, and we can't wait to see them when they return!
