Team day

Emerald Class had a jam-packed day of busy learning and fun for team day! Our theme was Valentine’s Day and Kindness! We started today with computing where the children designed and created their own kindness bears. We thought about the qualities we would like to see in a kindness bear and Emerald Class had some great ideas for how to show kindness each day. ❤

Can you complete some random acts of kindness? 😃⭐

As part of our science activity, we took part in a STEM challenge to build a structure of hearts. The children worked in their teams (some as a whole group, others in pairs within the group and other children worked independently in their team) to create hearts out of strips of paper and card. They were challenged to build the tallest standing structure – it was a fun and tricky challenge! It was such a joy to see the children so engaged in the task!

We also learnt a friendship song and the children also took part in PE, art and RE activities. A fun and busy day!

We have also been learning about Mental Health Week too! We took part in gardening activities and enjoyed being outside. We planted some seeds and we can’t wait to see them grow!

After half term, we will be beginning our new topic ‘Enchanted gardens’ and we can’t wait to learn more about plants and being outside! We have Forest School next half term on a Friday afternoon which we are thoroughly looking forward to!

⭐️Amazing Athletics ⭐️

This afternoon we took our wonderful Year 5 and 6 Athletics team to the Indoor Athletics competition at Malbank.

Amazing smiles for amazing effort! 💪

After 2.5 years of having no sports competitions, they performed AMAZINGLY! Super running, excellent teamwork and camaraderie, great sportsmanship, superb listening and even better cheering- we were soo proud!

Well done everyone and a special thank you to all the parents for being wonderful taxis!

Report Writing! 🐅

Ruby Class had great fun planning and writing a non-chronological report about tigers. It was great to see the class showing excellent reading, writing and team work skills! 📝📚🐅

Now we have written one together, we’re going to use all of our learning to write our own non-chronological reports. 📝

Check back later to see their wonderful writing!
