This week we are learning all about our core book ‘Funny Bones’. To ignite our project we were very excited to have a visit from a paramedic.
We learnt all about what a paramedic does, what you would find in an ambulance and what to do if you had a cut on your arm. We had great fun bandaging up each other!
Yesterday your teachers met in small teams to help each other move forward in their learning. Their focus was -providing you with good feedback. They worked in trios so that they were able to provide each other with good questions, positive ideas and ways to improve. There was some excellent learning talk happening. Can you spot some learning zones 4 and 5 ‘s in the pictures below?
On Friday 26th September we held our coffee morning to be a part of Macmillan’s biggest fundraising event. This event raised money for people living with cancer. Our Coffee Morning was a great excuse to get our friends together for coffee and cake, and raise money for a good cause.
The cakes were amazing and what a great turn out!
Welcome to Foundation! The teachers in Early Years were delighted to welcome all of the children to Foundation last week. Everyone has settled well and are very involved in their learning around our unit.
This week the children have been very busy in Foundation looking at the autumn leaves that are falling in our playground.
We spent the day looking closely at the colours of the autumn leaves and we then made a picture using the colours that we could see.
We worked as a team to paint, cut, glue and colour our picture. Everyone was very proud of our picture. We can’t wait to learn more tomorrow!
On Friday 6b finished their Philip Pullman work! It looks amazing!
Teaming up with 3b, we had an afternoon of sharing our Philip Pullman ‘This is your life’ biography videos and reading our biographies to them.
After this we opened our hearts to year 3b as they showed us their learning which was spectacular!
Watch our ‘This is your life’ biographies!
The children in year 4 had an amazing ignite today as they left their normal selves behind and became Egyptian slaves, dancers, Pharaohs, craftsmen and actors today.
They had an amazing morning in which they were given the alter ego of an Egyptian to perform as for the day and took part in creating a variety of different objects that would have been placed in a Pharoah’s tomb. Amazing learning zones were achieved by all of the children in the morning as they were able to physically learn about the Egyptians.
Some children made charm bracelets to place in their tomb.
Some children learnt how to create embalming oils and mummify something.
Whilst some children created their own perfume from herbs.
In the afternoon, the children became their Egyptian counterparts as slaves, dancers, Pharaohs and actors. The children were superb and were congratulated on their acting skills.
A huge thanks must be said to all of the parents, aunties and adults who helped on the day.
The children are definitely excited about the rest of their project and are looking forward to creating their own tombs.
Brooklands Farm Friends (PTA) is looking for new members to help raise funds for our school. For more details, see Jill at Reception.
Year 6 have wowed us with their video editing skills this week.
We have been learning about the inspirational author, Philip Pullman. To start with the children wrote biographies about his life and achievements. They then created a movie in the style of ‘This is your life’, using their biographies as a voice over. The children shared their learning with each other and gave some constructive feedback.
Everyone enjoyed sharing their video’s with Year 3 this afternoon.
Great learning Year 6!
