PGL – Day Two continued…
Miss Granite went down to visit Year 6 yesterday afternoon – they are having a fantastic time and wish they could stay for longer! They had a go on the zip wire and the Challenge Course. Apologies in advance for the washing!
PGL – Day Two
The children all had a good night’s sleep and are ready for today’s activities. This morning, they are doing some problem solving and attempting the trapeze, and this afternoon they will be completing the Challenge Course (mud galore!) and having a go on the zip wire. We will post more pictures later on!
PGL – Day One continued
Here are some more pictures of the children climbing Jacob’s Ladder. They worked brilliantly in their teams and were rightly proud of their achievements!
PGL – first evening
Last night, the children had a campfire in the woods!
Weekly Newsletter 29.6.18
This week’s newsletter contains dates for the rest of the term and work from last week’s Art Day: June 29th 2018
This week’s Dojo winners had a choice of an ice-cream or hot chocolate because of the hot weather!
RE Visitors
We have had some visitors into our school in the last week to share their lives and beliefs with the children. Year 4 had a visit by a Sikh, who talked about the 7 Ks of Sikhism and what life is like for him. Year 1 and 5 were visited by a Jewish believer, who spoke about different practices in Judaism. She also brought Challah bread, which the children were able to try!
Our children have told us they love these visits, because it helps them to understand the difference faith makes to a believer’s life – it makes it real and relevant for them. It also helps them to develop respect for others, which is one of our core Christian values.
We are very grateful to our visitors for giving up their time to come and see us.
Great Fire of London Re-enactment
Year 2 have been learning about the Great Fire of London and this week they recreated it! They made wooden and paper houses in the style of 1666, and then watched as the fire travelled from house to house, burning them. Of course, our wonderful site manager, OJ was on hand to keep everything safe!
Art Day and Drama Performance
On Thursday, every class had a special art day on the theme of ‘Dreams’. This was to link with the Drama Club performance of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ on Friday. The children’s artwork is wonderful and they had a fantastic time creating it. Several classes also linked their writing to their art, and produced some really beautiful poetry and biographies of artists. Parents were invited to come and see the art, and those who did really enjoyed it!
Here are the Drama Club children taking a bow after their amazing performance:
Year 2 Trip to the Hyde Park Lookout Centre
On Monday 18 June, Year 2 went on a trip to the Lookout Centre, in Hyde Park. They went to learn more about how animals change as they grow, and to understand that animals produce offspring that grow into adults as part of their Science topic. In English they have been learning about explanation texts and in particular life cycle stages of a butterfly. The children behaved fantastically and enjoyed finding mini-beasts outdoors as well as pond dipping.
