Weather Warnings...

We have all been aware that the weather for the next few days is going to be extremely challenging in parts of the country with a lot of snow forecast. Either way, it will be extremely cold! Please send children into school prepared for the chill that's forecast - warm clothes, extra layers, hats and gloves  are looking essential. We will make decisions about how long children will remain outside/inside during playtimes and breaktimes on a daily basis. In the event of any major disruption, please keep an eye on our blog and website for information.

JRock: Rehearsals going well!

Here's a very sneaky preview of the rehearsals at JRock happening right now. Looking very good indeed and can't wait to see it later!

Rewards for kindness

In robins we are learning to be respectful and kind to our friends. We can earn marbles when we are seen at break and lunch time being respectful to those around us. We can also earn leaves in the classroom when we do things that are kind to others. This can be to the environment, each other or the adults.  When we earn 5 marbles we get 5 minutes extra playtime.  When we help the tree to bloom we will earn a special treat. Ask your child how many leaves and marbles we have earnt today.

Gym day

Today we had an amazing gym day. We have practiced creating shapes with our bodies on different types of apparatus. We ended the day with some relaxing yoga liked to different stories that we know.

Saxon Afternoon!

Thank you so much to all of the parents who came to see and celebrate Owls' hard work this half term! The children loved being able to show off their ballads, legends and research as well as reenacting the famous battles of 1066! I am so proud of all their hard work this half term and I am incredibly glad they all seem to be so engaged with the learning!

 Have a lovely half term!

Fishbourne Roman Palace trip.

 

 

Today Year 4 visited Fishboune Roman Palace. We began by exploring the gardens and palace grounds before heading inside for a fun-filled workshop. We dressed up as Roman slaves to get ourselves into role. After finding out lots of information about the palace, we had the opportunity to complete a range of activities. These included puzzles, creating mosaics and writing our names in ink and on beeswax tablets. Finally, we got to see the original mosaic flooring in the main wing of the palace. We were all really impressed with the intricate designs that covered the floors. Overall we had a very enjoyable and informative day.
