To mark the sad passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth ll, each class has created different art works to remember her and celebrate her incredible reign. I’m sure you will agree that the pictures have truly captured what a remarkable monarch she was.
We have launched our first theme of the year, which is based all around COMMUNICATION. During assembly the children found out how meerkats communicate with each other. Did you know that they take it in turns to watch out for predators and when everything is ok they make a low constant peeping known as ‘The Watchman’s song’? If a predator is spotted the guard alerts the others with a bark or a whistle.
People have been communicating with each other throughout the whole of human history, but how we communicate with each other has changed massively over the last 30 years.
We are going to be investigating all sorts of weird and wonderful ways of communicating in our new theme.
This week year 4 have completed another ‘Get Ahead’ challenge. They designed group murals based on the theme ‘Conservation’. Well done year 4.
We have had a great time celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! Lots of red, white and blue fun finished off with a lunchtime street party!
This morning we have been printing. As part of our Going Wild theme we have been creating our very own animal prints. We have designed, made and printed using different techniques. We used nets to create a reptile skin. Paper to create tiger strips and shaving foam and tiles to print our own creations.
7 Red having a fantastic time making place mats, plates, crowns and even bunting!
Enjoying our Jubilee picnic party…..Even the weather can’t stop the fun!
As part of our theme this half term, ‘Picture Our Planet’, the children have completed their own independent pieces of homework. Well done 4 Blue.
Thank you to everyone who attended our Jubilee Coffee morning today, it was an amazing success and lovely to see parents back in school again. It was also great to see the art produced by the children as well as a special performance from Year 6.
Last week we came into Nursery to find someone or something had left footprints on our floor. We looked at the clues and thought about what it could have been. It had big feet and sharp claws and it had brought leaves and branches through the nursery too. After some careful thought, we decided that it could have been a Gruffalo!
We have had lots of fun with our Gruffalo activities this week and last.
Some of the activities included;
- retelling the story in the tuff tray and with the story stones
- using our maths skills to order by size and recognise digits to 5
- role playing in the Gruffalo Café and home corner
- exploring habitats and animal homes
- creating natural art inspired by the Gruffalo
- heading out on a Gruffalo hunt in the garden
- making play-dough Gruffalos
- using shapes to make Gruffalo faces
Take a look at the photos to see what else we have been up to.
