Yesterday and today the children have come up with different ‘happily ever after’ endings to innovate our Gingerbread man story. Well done to the children who have worked hard to write their ending independently using finger spaces, Fred fingers and correct letters.
Beautiful writing from Laura “The dolphin makes a magical bridge for the Gingerbread Man to cross the river!” #LovePlover
In Spring, the children in KS1 completed the expedition Ready, Steady, Grow: How can I be the healthiest version of me?
During Case Study 2, they looked at the work of Dennis Wojtkiewicz and recreated some of his artwork.
We are so proud of the finished e-book showcasing some of our artwork.
After reading the story, the children made predictions of what might happen if the Gingerbread man fell in the river: float, break, snap, melt, turn to liquid, crumble, go soft, sink, make the water brown.
So we did a science experiment to see. We put the Gingerbread man into water and we were correct… he dissolved and went into a soggy mush. After, we thought of different ideas to help the Gingerbread Man so he didn’t fall in the water. #LovePlover
Thank you to Ella’s mum for the lovely post SATs treat! Year 6’s were so grateful for their ice pops .

We are not sure if we loved it more or if our visitors loved it more today? Residents from Oaklands Care Home came to share some stories. Some of them loved reading to the children and some of them loved hearing stories with the children. Ernest used to be a teacher and even taught Mrs Price when she went to school! We showed off our counting too to see if it helped him feel like he was back in the classroom at Hall Cross. We got lots of smiles from him, despite him missing all the skittles when he played bowling with us 🙂
Lizzy loved reading to the children and made lots of friends- Mrs Reeve said she was after her job! There was lots of giggles and joy shared.
We hope to see our new friends at our Celebration of Learning later in the term.

Today we have been working hard on our oral blending . We had to say the sound in each hoop, before blending it together to say the whole word.
