In nursery we will be sending home ‘home link’ sheets this week for you to complete over the holidays. This is the perfect opportunity for you to share all the wonderful things your child does at home! For example this might include getting dressed, mark making, writing their name, counting, sharing their toys, being kind and helpful, potty training. It can be anything that your child has done that has made you proud ☺️!
We have been practicing The Dragon Song in Music and focused on pitch and volume. I think many of us will be X factor ready in no time! The video will be uploaded shortly!
As a celebration for completing our Roman topic in Linked Learning, we created a Roman armour ready for battle! Thank you to all parents and friends that donated lots of cardboard, without your support it wouldn’t have been possible to have such a creative (messy) afternoon 🙂
As part of belief and values and also linked to Children’s Mental Health week, we discussed the meaning of inner peace. We explored how acts of meditation, yoga, Thai chi, prayer or simple thought and relaxation were ways to find our own inner peace. In class, we listed to a meditation video which encouraged us to breathe and let go of all our worries and just be in the present. It was so good to Read more…
Class 11 took part in a yoga session today to continue with Mental Health week and to help us with our assessment focus. We practiced many tricky poses including butterfly pose, cobra, tree pose and planks. We focused on our breathing and balancing to perfect these poses. We then finished with savasana (relaxation) where we listened to meditation music and a relaxing script. Why don’t you try some of these poses at home?
For Safer Internet Day, our Digital Leaders ran an Online Safety Poster competition. The children were asked to design a poster highlighting how to stay safe online for a chance to win an X-Box or PS4 voucher (kindly donated by Smyths Toys). There were over 100 entries, each unique and full of creativity, but there could only be two winners. The winning entries were Tiago (Class 5) and Lillie Ann (Class 13) There were also Read more…
This was the question posed to Class 9 in their latest Language and Communication lesson. They were encouraged to consider words such as ‘conservation’, ‘endangered’, ‘cruelty’ and ‘survival’ when formulating their responses. It was a polarising debate, but all the children were respectful of each other’s opinions, even when disagreeing. What do you think? Should we keep animals in captivity or let them live freely in the wild? Let us know in the comments below.
Today we have been learning about Chinese New Year. We have learnt about zodiac signs and made our own Chinese dragons by colouring in, cutting and making paper chains for their bodies.
Check out our Roman mosaic masterpieces! We have been working hard and have been experimenting with different colours and sizes. We are now making our final product by cutting and sticking lots of ‘tiles’. It’s a very messy yet creative afternoon!
We have been working hard this week in maths looking at teen numbers. We used 10 frames to make teen numbers on. We then learnt that we can show the same number but in lots of different ways so we moved our counters around our frame to see how many different ways we could show the same number.
