To mark Remembrance Day, Year 5 decided we want to show our respect by creating a window mural. Mrs Potter kindly painted a soldier for us and Mrs Chrisp worked with the children to create a field of poppies.
For our class wreath, we used a compass to create different sized size circles and staple them together after snipping around the edge.
Today, Year 5 experienced their fist ukulele session and they were naturals! We discovered all the different parts of the instrument, how to hold and play it, the string names and even managed to play along with a song.
Apparently, Chris teaching them the ukulele is a step up from listening to Mrs Hanratty sing! We can’t wait for our next lesson.
It was lovely to discuss phonics and reading with Reception parents this week and I have attached a copy of the PowerPoint discussed. If you have any queries or questions please just ask.
Thank you.
Mrs Carr
Congratulations to our winners!
Also congratulations to Ruby in Y5 who won before the half term holiday and Mason who has passed his swimming assessment.
A big thank you to Siddharth and Jasritha who shared with the class how they celebrate Diwali. The class made their own Diya lamps, made their own sweet treats and decorated the class for the celebration.
To finish off our study of Marsden, the children drew maps to show Paddington how to get to Souter Lighthouse from our school. I think they are superb!
It was definitely Maisie’s lucky day today as she won the Y1 raffle!
Well done to Maisie
In Year 1 we have been exploring pumpkins so we can tell Professor Klunk all about them. First we thought about what a pumpkin looks like, feels like, smells like and even tastes like. To help us do that we cut open some pumpkins to see, smell and feel them and of course we collected all the seeds out of them! We also tasted some raw pumpkin and then we made some of the pumpkin into pumpkin soup which was delicious!
We have used the words from our exploration of pumpkins to write information sentences and we then found out how pumpkins grow. To finish off our work on pumpkins, we did some pumpkin crafts.
I think Year 1 are now pumpkin experts!
This morning Year 2 performed their class assembly on “The Great Explorers” They were amazing and it was a brilliant performance.
