Sound go Sky Diving! 🪂🪂🪂

We did it! What a day! 🪂🪂🪂

The sky was clear, the sun was out- a perfect day for a sky dive! ☀️

As our family and friends gathered to watch us, we knew it was going to be an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! 🥰

We are truly grateful for all the support and kind wishes we have had from you all and are blown away (literally!) to have been able to raise £2219 for such a worthy charity- Young Minds.

We definitely recommend that everyone does something out of their comfort zone; you just never know how much you might enjoy it! 🤩

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Signing off…

Tie dye results

Yesterday Opal class waited with baited breath as it was time to reveal our tye die t-shirts.

The results were amazing and the class were so proud of their hard work and i was too.

There are now some examples of the classes designs on display along with Mr Delaney’s attempt at a swirl pattern

Wear a hat day 🎩⛑🧢🪖👒

Last Friday, the whole school took part in Wear a Hat day. The aim was to raise money for Brain Tumour Research.

Mrs Booth spoke to all the children in assembly about a little girl, India, who she used to teach. She explained that India had had a brain tumour wrapped around her Optic Nerve and that no one in the world would attempt to operate on it. Mrs Booth shared how in the end, thanks to Brain Tumour research, one doctor had tried to help India. Even though she wasn’t cured, the surgery gave her a better life and helped her to be able to do things she couldn’t do before.

Thank you to everyone who helped support this wonderful charity 🙏

Chinese New Year

Opal class have loved exploring Chinese New Year and getting to learn more about the meaning behind it! We have been getting in the spirit of Chinese New Year by decorating the classroom with lanterns, masks and paintings; researching the reasons why we have 12 animals in the zodiac and even completing some code breaking activities.

Below is an example of some of the decorations we made as a class

📚NATIONAL STORY TELLING WEEK 📚

As part of National Story Telling Week (30th January- 6th February) , we have launched our new Poetry Spine. Each class now has a poetry box which contains a selection of fantastic poetry anthologies as well as a focus on a particular poet for each term.

The purpose is to increase the children’s familiarity and confidence with poems and rhymes from Reception to Year 6.

KS1 will share a POEM OF THE WEEK to encourage familiarity and repetition.

In KS2, we will share a POEM A DAY.

Look out on the BLOG in future weeks for the children’s favourite poems!

Roman Warriors

For this weeks homework Opal class were asked to design a Roman shield which they believed would represent them in battle.

Today we brought those designs to life and along with some amazing shields made at home we went outside to practice our formations.

First, we have the wedge. This is used to split enemy forces in half so they cannot fight as a unit.

Next, we have the Repel cavalry which is used to repel arrows and enemies on horse back.

I was incredibly impressed with the discipline of the Opal class legion and believe they are ready for battle whenever they are called upon.

A big thank you from Opal Class

Everyone in Opal class would like to say a big thank you to Mrs Davies and Miss Ashton for all of their hard work this term and helping us with our learning. Mr Delaney and the children have greatly appreciated getting to spend time with you, learn with you and have lots of laughs. We hope you have had just as much fun working with us as we have working with you.
