Children in Year One have been very busy creating an ‘Under the Sea’ reading area where the children are welcome to relax, explore and enjoy books.
As part of our ‘Under the Sea’ project, today we have been linking our project to art. Check out our fishes painted with water paints and cool patterns using chunky felt tips!
Well done Year 6 – we had a great start to SATs week today! We were very proud of everyone’s maturity, determination and motivation this morning.
Remember, breakfast club is open to all Year 6 children from tomorrow until Thursday this week (from 8am) – it would be lovely to see lots of you there so we can all have a good chat and chill out with our friends before the tests.
Don’t forget – this Friday is our PJ party! Bring pyjamas, onesies, dressing gowns, slippers etc in a bag to school. There will be some cakes and biscuits provided but feel free to bring some of your own treats in to add to the party food!
Today Miss Drapers class had super creative fun in the sun at Campbell Park with artists James Aldridge and Alice from MKG.
They worked further towards their Arts Award Discovery certificate by collecting words and sounds from the mornings walk for mini spoken word performances and then this afternoon they have created some beautiful clay works using natural objects from the area.
Well done to all the staff and parents that took part in the 10K at Silverstone last week! An extra thank you to everyone that came along to support. The cheering definitely helped us all!
The event was a huge success and we hope to get more parents and staff involved next year!
This morning, 1b have been very busy creating their octopus characters, which will be used this afternoon to innovate the story of The Rainbow Fish and The Big Blue Whale. The children have already thought of the amazing wow words (adjectives) that will be used in their writing to create an image in the readers mind. Watch this space!
This is the homework for this week.
Any problems or questions please ask your child to speak to their teacher on Monday.
Hope you have all been enjoying the sunny weekend.
