A HUGE thank you to the PTA and Mrs Minshall-Thomas who set up an Easter Orienteering course for us today! The sun was shining, the grass was green, the birds were singing and chocolate eggs were waiting! 🤣 We had lots of fun and our map reading skills weren’t too bad either! 🤩👍
To conclude our fantastic unit of Cricket, we all showed off our skills in a round robin Team Cricket tournament. Each team showed superb teamwork, made improvements each game and the enthusiasm was immense! 🤩
Congratulations to everyone but especially our overall winners……THE REDS! 🏆🏆🏆
Thanks to our wonderful Head Girl Myla, Head Boy Callum and Yellow Team Captain Evie, we had lots of fun today raising money for Brain Tumour research. Hat hoopla, hat quizzes, photo booth…. we had a blast! 🥰 We hope our money helps in getting closer to a cure 🤩
Well, what can I say? It’s been wonderful to have everyone back in Onyx class this week! The smiles, banter and fantastic team spirit are definitely what Mrs Coleman and I have missed! 😀
We’d also like to share with you all that we have a new class pet….. sorry, pets….
Welcome Frank and Poppy – two beautiful long tailed tits that grace us with their presence at all hours of the day! 🥰
Our final pieces are complete after a practice run! All the children have created their own designs onto fabric. Our Adinkra cloths will look amazing displayed in the classroom…Mrs Huntbach
Onyx class have been studying the traditional way the African people produce beautiful prints on their fabric called Adinkra. The symbols used on the fabric have a symbolic meaning and tell a story. The class have made their own printing block, which includes a symbol they have designed themselves with a specific meaning to them. They will use this printing block to produce their own Adinkra cloth in the next lesson…..
To help us to consolidate our division of fractions learning we decided to get active (despite the rain!) Have a look at the fun we had- it was brilliant! Well done guys!
This week the whole school made Christmas decorations for Chester Cathedral. We can’t wait to see the finished article!
Onyx class led from the front this week with our wonderful Team Captains, Head boy and Head Girl conducting our whole school Remembrance Day assembly. Every child in the school showed amazing respect and understanding and this was due mainly to how wonderfully they were led! Well done guys- I am one proud teacher! 🥰 A special mention must go to Lily who learnt the lines of one of the other captains who had been absent from school, ‘just in case!’ Wow, wow, wow!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Over the course of the day, we learnt about the Glade of Remembrance at the British Arboretum in Lichfield. We studied a brilliant poem by Laura Mucha called ‘We Remember’ and then worked hard to produce our own versions using metaphor and well chosen word choices.
Here are some of our finished products….. what do you think??
