William from 2 Blue, has been nominated in this year’s One Voice Awards – the awards ceremony for the UK voice-over industry. He has been recognised for his Blueline Taxis ads, and has made the shortlist in the “Radio Commercial, Best Male Performance” category, alongside names that have spent decades perfecting their craft. Regardless of the outcome, this is already a huge win!
The winners are announced at a glitzy event in London on 18th May – We wish William the best of luck!
This week in DT, we designed and made a pair of hairy trousers like Ragnar Lothbrok’s, which could protect us in battle.
As part of our LMTW theme ‘Food Glorious Food’ we have been looking at ‘sweet foods’ We have used the story ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ throughout the week including Drawing Club. The children have been building the bears house using 3D shapes which was part of our maths this week. We talked about which shapes would be the best for building and why. They recreated the story, wrote captions, read instructions of how to make porridge and used their maths skills of full and empty to recreate the porridge scene, also using size to make sure the bears were in the corrects chairs! We tasted honey and talked about how it is a healthy sweet option and why. We then ate a variety of sweet foods and timed how long it would take to eat them. We talked about which took the longest/shortest times and why, using our science skills of how chocolate melts and why. We looked at and discussed which sweet foods are healthy and which are not healthy, ask your children to tell you, they were experts!
This week we have been learning about life in a hospital during Elizabeth Blackwell times. We found out that it was very dirty, had uncomfortable beds, not enough care givers and unsafe operations. We recreated a hospital ward in our class and the children took turns being the patient and the doctors. It was very noisy and most of our patients died because we had no clean equipment. We even had protesters telling us that women were not allowed to be doctors!
We are thrilled to share with you that our Rainbow Flag evidence has been reviewed from our recent audit and we can proudly say that we have achieved the award again!
Well done to the children, staff and wider school community for supporting us and joining our commitment to positive LGBT+ inclusion and visibility.
We’ve had lots of Easter fun this week in Nursery.
We have….
Have a wonderful Easter break!
We have had a very busy week in Reception. We have been learning about the Easter Story and the build up to Easter. The importance of Easter for Christians and what symbols represent Easter. We have been making chicks, eggs, baskets, chocolate nest, retelling the story of Easter and so much more! Ask us to tell you about Easter and when you are supposed to have Easter eggs!
Huge congratulations to our Times Tables Rock Stars Leaderboard front-runners in Key Stage Two this term. Their efforts at home and in school to be the best they can be in all-things multiplying and dividing has been nothing short of amazing! Mental maths is such an important part of our journey in mathematics in school and regular practice a few times each week can make a significant difference to confidence, progress and attainment. Well done everyone and keep up the good work after Easter!
Wow,wow,wow! Thank you to each an every one of you who entered our ‘decorated’ egg competition. It has been very difficult choosing the winners as the entries were all eggstremely eggstatic! Winners will be revealed in tomorrows’ celebration assembly.
