This week Orla returned to school after spending a few months in Newcastle on the Shaun the Sheep Trial this summer. Phoebe, from 2 Blue, completed the whole trail, finding all 115 in the flock, and was rewarded with a lovely certificate which she shared in school today.
We have had such a great time creating our own jingle in music today. We used the song ‘ If you’re happy and you know it’ and changed the words to create a jingle for a breakfast cereal.
Year 5 received a very special package from N.A.S.A this week!
The special package contained lots of different artefacts linked to the moon landing and space such as:
Year 5 spent time in groups exploring and analysing each artefact, writing down key questions they had about each source.
This provoked a lot of conversation around our space theme and encouraged us to think about different sources of information.
We have had lots of fun this week exploring the story of The Gingerbread Man.
We made our own playdough and used it to create our own gingerbread man, using buttons and gems to decorate it. We used magnetic fishing rods to “save” the gingerbread man from the “river”. Using pictures from the story, we retold the story in our own words – we were great at this!
To end the week, we decorated our own gingerbread man biscuit using icing sugar and chocolate treats for the eyes and buttons! We waited very patiently until hometime to eat them (not all of our gingerbread men made it out of nursery gates in one piece!) Yum, yum!

This Week, Year 3 have had a visit from Mr Robert who taught us how to make animations with Ipads. We used an animation technique that we have learned about which is stop motion. We used characters that we had created and used green screens to create backgrounds for our animations. We used the Ipads to take photographs and each time we moved the characters slightly so when we played the pictures back it looked like the characters were moving. Did you know that 12 pictures creates 1 second of film?
7 Red made some puppets to re-tell the story of Little Red Riding Hood in their own inimitable fashion!
Fantastic acting skills with character voices and actions…. Spielberg watch out!
