Reception Handwriting Competition Winners!
Here are the some of the winners of the Reception handwriting competition. All of the children tried really hard but these children stood out as having consistently good handwriting or they had made excellent progress since starting school in September.
Handwriting in Year 6 😊
The children in Year 6 always work hard to keep their handwriting neat, but this week they have been putting in that extra special bit of effort to present their work as beautifully as possible! Here are the winners of our Handwriting Competition (for the most improved handwriting, and for the most consistently neat handwriting) along with the winning entries of the presentation of the poem ‘A Trillion Tropical Leaves’ which is about the Amazon Rainforest. 🌟🌟🌟
Year 2 Ocarina Club! 🎶
Last week in Ocarina club, the children learned how to play “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star,” and this week, they took on the classic masterpiece “Ode to Joy” by Beethoven. Not only did they play these melodies beautifully, but they’ve also learned how to read music.
Stay tuned for more musical adventures with our Ocarina Club! I wonder what songs they will learn to play next? 🤔
Year 3 and 4 French Club
This week, the children in French Club enjoyed tasting croissants and asking,
"est-ce que tu aimes les croissants?"
Artists in 1B ✏🖌✏🖌✏
Today we were artists. We looked at different textures as part of our buildings topic then we created our own textures. We did a great job using line and colour. Well done everyone! 🤩
Author Visit in KS1
Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting author Donna David at our school. She is the author of books such as “Trains, Trains, Trains,” “Oh no, Bobo,” and “Farmer Larmer.” Donna started the day by talking to all our KS1 children in an assembly. She shared how she fell in love with writing and books and even showed us some of her own work from when she was in Year 1.
Following the assembly, Donna led workshops for nursery, reception, and Year 1 classes. During these sessions, she talked to us about some of the books she has written and read one of her stories to us. Donna also provided a glimpse into the fascinating process she goes through to get her books published. To make it even more exciting, some children took on the roles of editors, publishers, printers, and other important people who help make books. It was an interactive and enriching experience for everyone involved!
A big thank you to Donna for inspiring us with your stories and sharing the magic of writing!
