Yaya came to visit

Thank you to Mekaal’s mummy for bringing her baby to visit us today. We have started our new expedition “See how things grow.” We started off today learning about what babies need and how they grow. Baby Yaya has milk but he doesn’t have food. He needs lots of cuddles and people to love him. Ask the children what they have learnt. They were very good at thinking of ideas.

First day back in 3B

Happy New Year! 3B have had an amazing start to first week back.

Shoutout to those children who made a special effort to dress up as a robot for the occasion. We spent the morning in our crews completing some activities to hook the children into the learning for our new expedition this term. These activities included investigating the internal organs, skeleton and muscles using AI and interactive games; classifying robots; making electronic circuits and cutting and sticking robots and skeletons.

Children were given a word at the end of each workshop to workout our new guiding question: The power of life: What makes us human?

As reward for solving the puzzle and in preparation for Friday’s learning, we spent the afternoon watching the film Robots.

The children are all hooked in and excited to learn more.

Are we human or are we robots?

Years 3 and 4 had an exciting hook day today for their new expedition. Many dressed up as robots and the effort from those who made their own costumes was exceptional! Well done and thank you parents who I’m sure would have lent a helping hand with these!

We couldn’t guess his name so look at the chaos he caused!

3H have been trying to guess the name of their class elf for the last few weeks. They were convinced it was Haycock Junior as he tormented them as much as I do but unfortunately they failed in their guess, so he caused pure destruction on the final day of term. He did find a moment of niceness though when he stuffed our fake grenades with yummy chocolate…thank you Icerink and well done to Sienna for working out where he had hidden the chocolate from the clues he left us!

We hope to see Icerink and his army of elves, who kept multiplying during the final day, next year. We wonder if he could go back to elf school though because his spelling is absolutely atrocious and we would love to know how one elf became two, then three and finally four…our minds were blown and the excitement kept building!

Have a wonderful break everyone, you deserve it! Keep safe, be happy and have fun! I look forward to seeing you all safe and sound in 2025!

Party fun in Y3

Year 3 had a great time celebrating the end of a long and difficult term. Everyone has worked so hard and every pupil needs to feel pride for the achievements they have fulfilled. We hope you all have a wonderful two weeks rest and for those who celebrate it, we wish you all a wonderful Christmas too!

Thank you, thank you, thank you

We would like to say a very big thank you to the Freemasons of Yorkshire West Riding through West Riding Masonic Charities Ltd for their very generous donation of £1000 which helped to provide the teddy bears and care packages for the expedition. They were delighted to hear of the work the children were doing.
