KS1 Poem of the week

12th January 2023Stuart Longley

Each week as part of our Reading Crew, the children are going to be learning to perform and recite poetry. We decided to start with a traditional funny poem.

Have a go at reading with us!

On the Ning Nang Nong

On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There’s a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can’t catch ’em when they do!
So it’s Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong I
s the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

Mr Longley’s Reading Group

6th January 2023Stuart Longley

The children in Mr longley’s reading group this week started reading a new text linked to the expedition, Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me?

The text is called The Great Food Bank Heist by the amazing author Onjali Q. Rauf.

Chapter 1 is below if you would like to read the first chapter.

Some questions you might want to ask:

  • What does the word heist mean?
  • Who are the main characters?
  • How do we know how old the characters are?
  • Where might the story be set and how do we know?
  • What is mum’s job? Does it pay well?
  • What problem do the characters have in the story? How does it make them feel?
  • Why does Nelson want to save food for his mum?

Back to learning!

4th January 2023Mr Pickering

It has been great to see all of the children back in school after the break and so keen to get on with their new learning.

We began with a collaborative Crew task to get the children back into the routines of working together. We created a bizarre robot by designing different sections of it in each group and putting it together at the end. A very unique design!

We have then used stop motion animation to hook ourselves into our new learning. We created a simple scene and then shot the movies ourselves. Have a look at one of our examples:

Party!

15th December 2022Mrs Lewis

Wow, what a busy day we’ve had! We had a delicious Christmas dinner and then got in the party mood by playing some party games. The children enjoyed a quick dance where I embarrassed them with my own dance moves and then they played musical statues, musical chairs, musical bumps and they even let me have a little breather and played the quickest round of sleeping lions you could imagine.

We ended the day singing Christmas songs ready for Carols around the Tree tomorrow. We hope to see you there!
