This week KS1 and KS2 enjoyed a visit from Chaplins Entertainment who came to school to perform the pantomime Cinderella. Lots of fun, laughter, singing, shouting and booing was had by all!
Here are the five lucky winners from our Christmas Book Fair!
Today we went on a treasure hunt and we had lots of fun!
First we solved some addition and subtraction problems. We used our maths equipment to help us. Next we checked our work very, very carefully to make sure that we did not have any mistakes. Then we went outside and we tried to find the answers from our number sentences. There were some letters on the back of the number cards. We had to write the letters we found on our sheets. These letters spelled out two words. We crashed the sounds together to read the words to our teacher. Finally the people who solved the problem got some treasure.
Later this week we are going to have another chance to get (earn!) some treasure by doing some amazing writing. Watch this space!
We have been learning to use positional and directional language. We used the Bluebots to practise. We made the Bluebots go forwards, backwards, to the right, to the left and to make a whole turn.
Today we came to school dressed as pirates! First we went to Pirate School and learned the secret pirate code. We then went on a scavenger hunt to find lots of clues. The only problem was – they were written in a SECRET Pirate code! We were very clever and worked as a team to solve the clues to find the treasure. Our day ended with a whole school pirate party. What a fantastic day!
Monday afternoon, our key stage one pupils got involved in an interactive number show. The concept was to have fun learning maths through dance. The Numberbods (groovy dancers) showed us how to make numbers with our bodies, dressed up and made a toy shop then tested our calculation skills by physically making different number sentences. A lot was going on!
