This half-term we are focusing as a whole school on ‘developing a respectful learning community’. In assembly yesterday, the children voted for the growth mindset crowns that they felt would be most relevant for this focus. The children chose challenge, teamwork, creativity and reflection!
Reception have been enjoying their new classrooms and making new friends. We have practised writing our names and talking about our school rules.
This week in year 2 we are working on place value. We are exploring numbers up to 100 and enjoyed using base 10 to make and add big numbers!
Danger-Us club really enjoyed their trip to the slopes at Norfolk Snowsports Centre on Wednesday 10th July – they had the chance to ski from different heights and even competed to see who could do the most tricks!
Year 3 had a fabulous time at the Royal Norfolk Show on Wednesday! Here are some photos from their trip.
Today in Year 1 we made our boats out of clay. We had to follow our designs carefully and select appropriate tools to help us. We are so excited to paint them once they dry and can’t wait to show you the finished products!
We have been engrossed in writing our play script versions of Odysseus’ encounter with the fearsome Cyclops this week, and greatly enjoyed acting some of these out today! We impressed each other with the ways in which we used stage directions to bring our characters to life and moved about our ‘stage’ too.
In maths lessons, we have continued to work with translation and reflection across coordinate planes. We’re now able to tackle this in all four quadrants!
We have also been getting creative with clay to design and make pottery in the style of Ancient Green amphora vases – now we’re looking forward to painting these as soon as they’re dry…
