SEAL Champions, by Miss Hope

Date: 28th May 2016 @ 1:18pm

Each half term we focus on a different theme for our PSHE work. This term it has been Relationships. At the end of each half term the children vote for their classmates who they think display the values we have been working on. This term we were looking for the child who is always pleased when a friend achieves something new and for the one who says sorry when they know they are in the wrong. Q2 children voted and decided that James W was the person who won the sorry award and Isaac won the encourager award. Amazingly Miss Hope and Mrs Duffy had picked the same people in their secret vote too, which just goes to show how well we all know each other in Q2. Well done boys we are proud of you. 

Robot Workshop, by Miss Hope

Date: 28th May 2016 @ 1:08pm

During the last two weeks Q2 have been busy designing, building, decorating and evaluating their moving robots. Miss Gray gave the children a design brief that they had to follow. Their robot had to be able to stand up on its own and needed to have a chassis with wheels on axles. We have really enjoyed our robot project. Although some parts of the design process were tricky and required patience and perseverence we all managed to complete our robots. We now have a fabulous collection of wheeled robots. Take a look at our pictures. Which is your favourite?

Bumfresh!, by Miss McCormack

As you know, we have been reading Billionaire Boy over the last half term. 
We received a text from Mr Len Spud, asking if we could help him to create a jingle, logo and slogan for his beloved company!

First, we had researched some famous slogans, logos and jingles we had a go at creating our own. Once we had created them we performed our jingles to some very harsh judges!

It was tough but we managed to select some winners! Well done to Ruby, Lucy, Morgan, Gillian, Charlie and Jacob!

Football Frenzy!, by Mrs Ashton

This afternoon our Year 5 and 6 Football Club held a 5-a-side tournament!

We focused on our school values of 'Respect' and 'Honesty' by refereeing our own games. This was very successful and some excellent behaviour was displayed by pupils. 

We look forward to organising some more football events for next term!

Robot Hand, by Mr Warner

Date: 24th May 2016 @ 10:38pm

Today some very strange things happened within the classroom. A robot hand appeared in the room whilst we were out during morning break. It was surrounded by police tape and a crime scene warning sign. This has caused much excitement amongst the children. It later moved onto the canopy in our reading area. Many questions have been left unanswered. Where did it come from? Who does it belong to? Why was it in our classroom. 

The police are working around the clock in their investigation.

If anyone spots the hand, or indeed the rest of the robot can you please contact a menber of the Year 4 staff.  

Look who came to visit us today!, by Miss Fisher

Date: 24th May 2016 @ 9:12pm

Clink the robot popped into the Year 1 classrooms today.  We found him to be very friendly and he answered lots of questions about how his appearance.  The children then learnt how to join two questions with a 'sticky and'. This writing skill will help us write our job descriptions to hopefully employ our own robots!  

A visitor came to Q1 AND P1 today , by Miss Glover

P6 and Q6 really worked hard in applying their cricket and rounders skills in our inter-class tournaments this afternoon. If only rounders was an Olympic sport, we'd definitely be competing for gold medals!!🏅🏆

Clink the Robot, by Miss Hope

Date: 22nd May 2016 @ 4:02pm

This week we had a visit from a very sad robot called Clink. He was so upset because he wasn't as exciting as some of the other robots in the shop. We wanted to help Clink so we decided to write a letter to persuade someone to buy him. 

Have a look at some of our super writing.

Clink , by Miss Glover

Date: 22nd May 2016 @ 10:55am

In Literacy we are reading the quality text Clink, this fits in with our Key Stage topic Robots! This week the book revealed that Clink is a robot which can do jobs! We have looked at the authors use of verbs, adjectives and nouns and used some key vocabulary in our writing last week. The children decided that in fact, they want a robot of their own. As a result of this, on Friday children wrote their own introduction for job application so they can employ their own robot. I was very impressed. 

I have photographed some Q1 STAR writers-  a big well done!!! 

Money, money, money!, by Miss Fisher

Date: 21st May 2016 @ 9:55am

This week in Year 1 we have been learning about money.  We have found a great page on a website with lots of fun money games (address below) but don't forget giving your child the opportunity to use money in real life situations is the best way to learn.
