Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed our spooky Halloween day.
We had our own mini Halloween disco playing many fun party games and had a costume catwalk to show off our amazing outfits!
We also enjoyed writing Halloween poems about 5 Little Witches in English lessons this week
.
Today Year One became ‘Spooky School’. We played party games in the hall, then we made witches and bats. It was brilliant fun! On the afternoon we watched a spooky film and had some spooky snacks.
Everyone looked fantastic in their costumes too!
What a fun day!
What a fantastic morning we’ve had in Year Six! We started the day with a scavenger hunt in the school grounds and then had party games in the hall, with plenty of sweet treats in between! This afternoon we are going to settle down with a Halloween movie and individual treat bags!
This week in Year 1 we have been exploring pumpkins. On Monday three special pumpkins arrived! We wanted to find out which pumpkin had the most seeds. Everyone estimated the largest pumpkin would have the most seeds.
Then we had great fun scooping out the pumpkins and using our counting strategies.
Our results were:
Pumpkin : 575 seeds
Pumpkin 2: 552 seeds
Pumpkin 3: 516 seeds
This meant the smallest pumpkin had the most seeds! We were very surprised!
The EYFS team would love to say a big “Thank You” to everyone who donated a pumpkin to support learning in the Foundation Stage.
The children have focused on tool use and co-ordination by hammering nails into their skin. We had a lot of discussion around how to stay safe when using tools and we wore safety goggles to protect our eyes.
They have also loved exploring what we found inside the pumpkin, discussing the different textures and what the purpose of the seeds are.
EYFS need your help.
If you have any plastic milk bottles ready to be recycled, could you please bring them into school tomorrow or Friday to help us with one of our Halloween crafts.
Thank you for your support!
This week, the Foundation Stage Unit has magically transformed into a spooky school!
We have a witches’ kitchen, potions and spells and lots of Halloween tasks to complete.
Do you want to be in with a chance to win one of our spooktacular Halloween hampers. Tickets are £1 a strip and can be bought anytime next week in class. Every class will have a winner!
Year 5 are reading Beowulf in class. We know Hrothgar needs help to stop Grendel’s evil attacks so we have created wanted posters to advertise for a hero to save the kingdom. We decided to write them using the Runic alphabet To make them more authentic and fit in with the story setting.
We think they look brilliant!
As part of our ‘Once Upon A Time’ topic we have been looking at castles. We looked at the features, then drew castles and had great fun creating our own.
We are looking forward to making chalk castles next week.
