This week Year One have been talking about kindness. We have been thinking of all the elderly people who live in Croft House. The children were discussing how they must be feeling during lockdown then we had a great idea to try and make them smile by making them some cards.
Year One your cards are beautiful- I love how you took your time to do your neatest drawing and colouring – Well Done!
It was all go in Class 4 on Tuesday. Half of the class started making their Light boxes, while the other half investigated making different switches to turn the light in their boxes on and off.
During Maths Week, Class 3 enjoyed making a treasure map of the school yard and guided their partner to the treasure using coordinates!
Class 3 were so excited to learn that a caveman had landed on our school field! We went outside to think about how the caveman would have felt by using our 5 senses. We then took part in some role play hot seating activities.
We began our half term by launching our new mission statement and exploring light across the curriculum. Here are some photographs of our learning about Hanukkah and the Mennorah.
We marked Remembrance Day in our school by observing a silence at 11 and we took part in prayers and reflections related to remembrance. Following a strict risk assessment with all protocol followed, two of our School Council members took a handmade wreath to the memorial in Shotton.
This week we have been learning about Remembrance Day.
We have been thinking about all of the soldiers who lost their lives during the war and added our prayers to the Remembrance tree.
We learned about why we wear poppies and created our own poppy pictures.
We also learned about the animals who helped during the war and wrote sentences to explain how they helped.
“The dog had a cross on him and he helped the poorly soldiers.” – Macie.
“The pigeon carried the messages.” – Daisy.
“The horses helped carry the food. They had to walk for miles and miles.” – Emily.
“The dogs could smell the enemies.” – Thomas.
“They used glow worms for a light.” – Eva.
We have been doing so well learning our Mission Statement.
We have talked about how we are all unique and thought about ways in which we can let our light shine every day.
We painted our own pictures of Our Lady, Mary…
