📚Dyslexia Awareness Week

Anglo Saxon Crime and Punishment ⚖️

Year 4s have been learning about Anglo Saxon crime and punishment this afternoon. We now know what a tithing is and how much wergild you might have to pay 💰 for committing different crimes.

Overall though, we all agree punishments could be pretty unfair during these times.

The pictures below show them acting out different scenarios.

🖥 Online Safety TOPAZ class 🖥

Over the past few weeks, we have been thinking about how to be safe online. The children collated all their learning and created fantastic posters to share the message and remind us all how to stay safe online. These are now displayed around the school and classroom.

A harvest service with a twist and a tingle

last Friday we had our whole school harvest service, but this year it was a little different. we focused on the creation story and used a potato and various other items to represent the earth and all of the things god put on the earth. The children had a great time and really enjoyed creating their harvest tingles and even added some items of their own to show some other amazing creations.

❤️ Woof Date: I’m sooo excited to see you! ❤️

Hello my fabulous Sound Family,

Waiting in the car ready to come to school…

Mum has just cleaned the car out which is making me jump up and down with joy as I know it can only mean one thing: seeing all of you again on Thursday! 😍 I have missed you all soo much and I can not wait to sit down with you and listen to all the exciting things you have been doing (whilst being stroked & cuddled of course!) I am especially excited to meet the new Reception children and make even more friends-WELCOME TO THE SOUND FAMILY! Yey! 🤩

I’m soo happy to be seeing my Sound friends again!

Diamond artists 😃

Wow Reception! We have produced some great pieces over art week! Here are most of our final pieces and we are so proud of them!

💤😎Year 6 Sleepover & Activity Day 😎💤

It started at 5pm with the kitchen sink packed and HUGE smiles all around! (I’m not sure whether the parents were more excited or the children!) First up was den building- Boys v Girls! The boys worked on camouflaging their den whilst the girls focussed on organising their sweet table and lining up their shoes! Boys 1 v Girls 0! Next came the singing! The girls wrote their own lyrics whilst the boys improvised and even added in some grooves! Boys 2 v Girls 0!

Getting settled into our hotel for the night!

Lots of fun and games followed. Splat, Zombie Tag, Wink Murder- you name it, we played it! Boys 5 v Girls 2!

After a quick sweet stop, we headed across to Forest Schools to meet Mrs Ashley and our camp fire (no sleepover is complete without s’mores and hot chocolate!) A lot of singing and memory telling later, we headed back over to get changed into our ambush gear (the boys were fully prepared!). Grabbing our torches, we played Boys v Girls EXTREME Hide and Seek! It was brilliant! After a lot of expert searching and finding in the dark, the boys gained an extra 2 points! Boys 7 v Girls 2!

Finally, it was time to clean teeth and get tucked up in bed! We can’t say we all had 8 hours, but our dens certainly worked a treat! 💤

After a VERY long night, we awoke to beautiful sunshine and another fantastic day of fun! After packing away and getting the classrooms back together, we headed into the hall for a yummy bacon or sausage bap cooked by Mrs Burt! Breakfast had never tasted so good!

Then, it was time for a very apt activity…. BUBBLE FOOTBALL! We had soo much fun playing loads of different games, bashing into people and getting stuck upside down! Even Mrs Booth got to have a go, whilst being chased by Luke, Will and Callum!

Finally, the afternoon was filled with crazy team games, lots of fun and laughter, ice lollies and Peppa Pig cake (all will become clear in the Leavers Assembly!😉)

We had the best time and made soo many more memories that we are never, ever going to forget!

A HUGE THANK YOU TO MRS ALLEN, MRS COLEMAN, MRS BOOTH, MRS BURT AND MRS ASHLEY for giving the Y6s a brilliant sleep over and activity day! YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL! ❤️

Buddy time 🤍

We have been really enjoying our socially distanced buddy time over the last few weeks! We have made chalk pictures to show our buddies together which was lots of fun! The Year Six buddies also helped Reception learnt to play boccia during Sports Week too! Today’s buddy time involved learning to pass the football. The Year Six buddies made fantastic coaches!

We had lots of fun making our chalk buddies!

Andy Goldsworthy inspired art

For our team day challenge, Diamond Class worked in teams to create their very own land art masterpiece inspired by Andy Goldsworthy who specialises in making art made out of natural materials.

Diamond Class collected their own materials and shared them out between the teams so they each had a set of resources to use. They had to plan what they were going to do and work together as a team. We are so proud of how well the children worked together.

Each group tackled the task in different ways and produced lots of different shapes! Some groups made circular shapes, some made rectangular ones and another group made a spiral!

Reception had to be good at working as a team, they had to make sure they communicated effectively and also used their imagination! We were so impressed with their results – well done Diamond Class!
