Our celebration video from last term’s Expedition!

We are so proud of you 5/6 for not only producing awesome work last term during challenging times when some of you were working from home and adapting to online lessons but also for the amazing fundraising you all contributed to for Markham Main mining memorial. You are all amazing and I hope you enjoy this video capturing a truly awesome Expedition!

Hook week in 5W

5W have been thoroughly ‘hooked in’ to out new expedition: The Magic of Motion. Our week has consisted of an immersion day, (where all the children helped to decorate our classrooms and corridors) an Art and a Science day all linked to our Harry Potter theme. Have a nosey through our pictures and see what we got up to!

The making of the Hogwarts Express!

We care Wednesdays!

Today in crew, we looked at relationships, characteristics and qualities. We discussed celebrities who have characteristics and qualities that we admire such as Princess Diana because she helped lots of people as well as Sir Tom Moore who was determined to raise lots of money for the NHS. The children then worked in pairs to write down the qualities and characteristics of their partners which definitely put smiles on lots of people’s faces. It was lovely to hear what kind things they said about one another.

We are scientists!

6B have been super scientists this morning! They have been immersed into another one of our case study’s that we will be engaging with this term. 6B have been looking at states of matter. They worked so hard at identifying what makes a solid, a liquid and a gas. They then used this knowledge to create anchor charts for our classroom. They are so excited to start our science case study next week!

We are artists

This morning we have immersed ourselves into our art case study as a mini hook! We have found out who the artist is that we will be studying this term- Sir Quentin Blake and we have learnt a lot about him. We’ve even had a go at some Harry Potter style artwork in the style of Sir Quentin Blake. We have used a range of water colour techniques and reflected and discussed which have worked the best and why. It’s been a gorgeous morning and we can’t wait to work on our critiques and finish our final pieces ready to display in our classrooms! Check back on our blog later for the finished pieces!

We are taking a trip to Hogwarts…

Just a reminder that this Friday is our Harry Potter dress up day. We will be swapping our maths and literacy lessons and instead, we will be participating in lessons only wizards and witches engage in- defence against the dark arts, quidditch, potions, behind the magic and transfiguration. The children will each have the opportunity to be sorted into a house by the sorting hat before the day at Hogwarts begins. This is going to be such an exciting day and we can’t wait to capture all of the exciting things we get up to and we will of course share them on our blogs!
I wonder what our guiding question is going to be?
