Making pledges this morning in crew!

What a fabulous start we have had in crew Topliss this morning. We reflected on our HoWLs from last week and made fresh pledges for the week ahead. We then added them to our crew display board to help remind us what we need to do to make this week the best it can be! Well done Year 5!

Are you ready for a Viking Quest?

Year 3 and 4 proved they were ready for the challenge of being a Viking Warrior this morning, demonstrating that they have both brains and brawn in our Viking Quest.

We were given the challenge to strengthen a Viking Hoard, but only if we could complete the challenges first.

We had four quests to complete that would give us a number combination to open the lock on the Viking Treasure Chest.

The Riddle of the Runes – could we decipher the words written in Viking Runes,

Timeline Trouble – could we find the missing event on the timeline

Warrior Wordfinders, had us searching for the missing Viking word.

And finally we were Amazing Archaeologists looking for Viking artefacts in our own archaeological dig.

After we successfully showed how we could use our brains, we then show how physical we were and how we could follow instructions by playing Capture the Flag, Viking Ships and Raising the Sail.

We had a fun afternoon watching ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ for a different peek into Viking life.

Have a look at at how we launched the day!

What a great day!

I just wanted to say a big well done to all the children in Year 3 and 4, for their great effort and determination today.

Children were challenged to try things they hadn’t done before and what impressed me the most was how they kept trying and didn’t give up, even after defeats!

Behaviour was great and and judging by the children’s comments, a good time was had by all.

I am in the process of going through photos, and so there will be another blog with images of the day.

Finally, thank you to the parents, carers, grandparents, aunties, uncles, brothers, sisters and everyone else that came to support the children today, your cheers were so encouraging for them, I hope you enjoyed your morning.

Harry Potter dress up day Friday 3rd September- Year 5

Just a reminder that Year 5’s Harry Potter dress up day is Friday 3rd September. Costumes can be as creative as you like. If you are struggling for ideas, black/grey trousers and a white shirt would be great and we will make Hogwarts ties in school. Or you can come in house colours: red, yellow, green or blue. Please don’t worry if you don’t have anything, we will dedicate the first part of the morning to making props so all children are included.
