SWIM FREE IN OCTOBER! 
As part of their School Facility Investment Programme, Total Swimming Academies will be renovating our facilities and delivering their Learn to Swim programme exclusively at our school from Thursday 1st October for children aged 3-11.
There is an exclusive launch offer of book now and swim completely free through! If you have family, friends, siblings, or anybody who may be interested in swimming with us, register online at www.totalswimming.co.uk/find_a_class/
If you have any queries, please contact them directly on info@totalswimming.co.uk 
Children swim for free and the monthly learn to swim prices are the same as other providers. It simply means that children who normally attend lessons at the Aquatic Centre can still learn to swim. There are also low staff: children ratios!

Big Ben – Indoor and Outdoor Learning

2nd July 2020D Osmond

Group 2 – Mrs Osmond and Mrs Marshall

We have been reading the book ‘The Queen’s Hat’ by Steve Antony. This book taught us about many of London’s incredible human features such as Big Ben. Did you know that this amazing landmark is 96 metres tall?  We decided to draw Big Ben in different scales.  Inside the classroom, we used various media such as pencils and watermark paints. Then outside, after trying to measure 96 metres, we soon realised we didn’t have enough space! Therefore, each child chose a measurement and counted carefully using a metre stick. Now the fun started….. using one of their smaller sketches for help, they drew an ENORMOUS Big Ben using chalk.

 

 

The Queen’s Crown

29th June 2020D Osmond

Group 2 – Mrs Osmond and Mrs Marshall

Reading ‘The Queen’s Knickers’ inspired our children to design not only a new pair of knickers but also a new crown for Queen Elizabeth II.

The focus of this task was maths driven –  naming and describing 2d shapes and then using them to create repeat patterns for decoration. Once created, pupils then had to describe their beautiful jewelled pattern.

Please take a look ….

 

Wow… a Very Special Letter!

Group 2 – Mrs Osmond and Mrs Marshall

What a surprise we got on Monday! Our bubble received an envelope addressed to ‘The Year One Knicker Makers’.  When we opened it, we discovered a letter from Dilys – the Queen’s maid who looks after ‘Her Majesty’s’ knickers for every occasion!  How amazing!  This letter created lots of excitement and we intend to reply!

Have a read of our letter especially written to us ….
