Hola Amigos!

16th May 2022S Stothard

Hola! This week we Year Five had a brilliant time learning about Mexico in Geography. We found out about the physical Geography and climates within Mexico and demonstrated our knowledge by presenting a weather forecast. One of our highlights of the week was creating a Mexican dance, The National Mexican Hat Dance. To end our week we looked at Mexican celebrations and focused on Día de Muertos. We loved finding out about the Mexican traditions and we have started to make our own decorations.

We can’t wait to find out more about this fascinating country!

Well that’s it – SATs Week is finally over!  Everybody at Marsden could not be more proud of how each and every one of these wonderful children have coped over the last few days.  They have tackled each day with confidence, maturity and resilience.  Whatever the outcome, you have shown just how special you are.  Well done to our amazing Year 6 class!

🦀Under the Sea Writing🐬

9th May 2022M Hanratty

Nursery love to explore different ways to make marks and explore writing. Last week, we danced away to Under the Sea using our flipper flappers to make circles and lines in the air. We then transferred these skills to paper before making our own octopus!
Then we continued the fun by making marks in shaving foam.
