Saxon Topic!

Owls have had a fantastic day; starting on their journey to discover all about super Saxons! Our day began with exploring a timeline of the Saxon history in England. In pairs, the class pieced together a timeline and a selection of facts in a tricky but fun activity! Next, we delved into the history of King Arthur (who we will be reading about in English this term) playing Chinese whispers to show how legends develop and change after time. Finally, we began investigating and practicing with Saxon art.We created the Saxon knot pattern in different ways - using string, paints, pencils and even jewelry! We can't wait to carry on learning all about the super Saxons!

Fairy Tale Day

Thank you to all the parents of Robins class, the costumes were amazing today.

We spent the day this morning decorating a gingerbread man (and trying our hardest not to eat all of the toppings), ordering the story The Gingerbread Man, decorating shields and using 2d shapes to create castles.

This afternoon we learnt how to waltz using the 1, 2, 3 count. We had some absolute pros at this.  Check out the video as well.

We then ended our day with a banquet.  The children thoroughly enjoyed this, we even invited Mr Adams and Mrs Egerton to join the fun.

  We as adults and the children have enjoyed our day and learnt lots about fairy tales as well as different ways to work together. The pictures reflect just how much the children enjoyed today.

Fairy tale

Today is not only the day for us to dress up as our favourite fairy tale character a mystery door also arrived in the classroom. The children are very intrigued as to who put in there, maybe we will find out later today or in our topic.

Going for goals.

First of all happy new year to you all. Today we have been busy learning all about what a good learner looks like, how we learn aswell as understanding what a goal is. We then ended the day by writing a biography about ourselves and setting ourselves a goal that we would like to achieve, either personally or academically. Well done robins you have worked really well.

A massive thank you!

Thank you for all your kind donations towards Mission Christmas - Cash for Kids.  As a school, we raised £134.10 and have a whole selection of toys to donate as well.  This will help make a difference to children affected by poverty, abuse, neglect, disability and life-threatening illness across the South.
