Showing compassion

F2BP have been superstars today sharing, taking turns and helping each other. In crew, we talked about acceptable and unacceptable behaviours and the children were able to say what they had done today that was good behaviour. Many of them said sharing, taking turns and helping each other. Well done crew!

Craftsmanship and Quality in 4B

On the second day of Crew Week, 4B were learning all about the character trait “Craftsmanship and quality”. We used demonstrated this by creating and critiquing drafts of a poster about our school charity the RSPCA. After several attempts, we produced some beautiful work which we are proud to display in the classroom.

Hand washing – keeping our bodies healthy!

Today we have learnt how to keep our bodies healthy, by learning to wash our hands. We used glitter to represent germs and practised washing our hands thoroughly using soap. We noticed that if you just dip your hands in the water the germs don’t come off, you need to soap to wash them properly.

We learnt the song “wash wash wash our hands, wash our hands all day. Wash wash wash our hands, wash the germs away”.

Colour Mixing

In nursery we have been exploring colours and colour mixing. We painted our hands two different colours, then made predications on what colour it would turn when we rubbed them together.

We Are Writers

Today we have practised pencil grip/control in nursery, tracing over our names. Some children absolutely wow’ed me being able to copy their name underneath! What amazing work.

We have courage

It was great to see everyone back at school yesterday, looking so smart and eager to begin Year 5. On our first day the children were learning about our Character Trait of courage. We thought about times we showed courage and about how we would show courage at school this year.

When I grow up….

As part of transition day, our guiding question for the day was “What will you be when you grow up?” In the morning we were visited by some of my friends who all had different kinds of jobs. We met Coach Owen, who is a business owner and PE coach. We met Nurse Alice who is a critical care nurse at DRI. We had some information videos from Chloe who is a food product developer. Last but most certainly not least, we met Rev. Adam and Rev. Tony who talked us through their job at the Church.

We then had a big conversation about what jobs we would like to do when we grow up and all I can say, we will not be without ICE CREAM with the amount of vans that will be driving around. An interesting mix of teachers, a boxer, a fossil hunter and so many interesting choices!

If you go down to the woods today…….

You’re sure of a big surprise for Year 3 and 4!

Yesterday was the third and final event as part of this year’s National Literacy Trust Young Readers programme and we held the event at Sandall Beat Woods.

The children all chose their third free book and we went to the wood to enjoy reading and sharing our stories in the open air with nature all around us.

It was great to welcome parents and carers to the event and so lovely to see the children sharing the books with their family.

After a biscuit or two, we circled up, shared a story and completed the last community crew of the year.

We have felt so lucky to be selected to take part in the programme this year, and really hope we get the opportunity to do it again in the future.
