Catching dreams...

The SUPER Swift class were all about catching dreams today! They had a very fun day and learnt how to make dream catchers 😊 It took a lot of patience and resilience but we all got there in the end. I am extremely proud of the dedication and pride that my Swifts took. They look absolutely AMAZING! Some of these dream catchers will be selected for our 'REACH' competition. I think they are definitely worth showing off! 

Here's a sneak peak of some of the dream catchers...

Awesome right? Well done SUPER Swifts! ⭐

Merry Christmas from the SUPER Swifts!

The Swift class have been absolutely AMAZING this term! The team and I are so proud of their efforts and could not have asked for more. You have all been outstanding learners! 

The festivities leading up to Christmas have been very exciting, especially with our elf causing all sorts of havoc. As today was his last day in our class, he decided to wrap something special that belonged to the Swifts and they had to earn it back...it was a challenge indeed! Luckily, they managed it!

Here's a sneak peek of what they've been up to...

Thank you to all the Swift parents - you have been utterly awesome!

Have a VERY Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄

Rocking around the Christmas Tree...

 This year Mr Adams asked the KS1 children to decorate the school Christmas Tree. We love a bit of sparkle down our end of the school so we jumped at the chance to do this! Both classes thoroughly enjoyed this and got into the Christmas spirit. I must say, both Robins and Swifts did an excellent job decorating the tree and made it feel a lot more festive in our school. Well done! 

Take a look at some of the SUPER Swift's decorating skills...

We just need a shining 🌟 and our tree will be complete!

Swifts send food to the MOON!

Super Swifts are currently learning all about Space.  In particular we are looking at Bob, the Man on the MOON! Part of our Science topic is looking at the suitability of materials.  We have worked hard at identifying properties of certain materials and the suitability of them. So when Bob sent a letter asking for help on which foods would last the journey to the Moon we happily obliged. We investigated lots of packaging and thought about which ones would be the most suitable packages! It was a very exciting lesson... 

SUPER Swifts LOVE Marwell!

The SUPER Swift class had a very fun day at Marwell Zoo today. I've never seen them so excited!  We have been learning all about Africa and different animals in Science this half term so this was the perfect opportunity to help children to apply everything that they knew and ask the questions that they wanted answering.  The 'All about Animals' workshop helped children to do this in particular!  Here, the class learnt about the different animals situated in Africa and their special features.  They asked lots of questions and learnt lots.  I think the best part was when a REAL SNAKE was shown to the children giving them a chance to see one up close! It was amazing to watch as each and everyone of them were in awe.  Exploring the Zoo was just as fun as we managed to dart from one animal to another.  The Giraffes in particular were a huge favourite as were the Penguins.  All in all, it's been a very exciting day and hopefully one that children won't forget for a while.  I think it's safe to say that they will definitely be sleeping well tonight...
