Character Inference
Oak Class had great fun being detectives this lesson! After learning more about who they may encounter in the Land of Oz, the children had to work out which emotion belonged to which character based on the clues in the text!
Water workshop
Today we had a visit form Mrs Cole from South Staffs Water. She told us the story of Little Drop and we found out all about the water cycle. Then we talked about ways water can be wasted and the things we can do at home to save water.
Remembrance Day
This Remembrance Day we have talked about why people wear poppies and given thanks to those who have helped keep us safe.
Odd Sock Day in Willow!
We are proud to be different! Well done Willow for celebrating our differences by supporting Odd Sock Day.
Willow’s Independent Writing and Performing!
Well done to Willow for your beautiful published writing so far! This week, we practiced our oracy skills when performing our very own poem.
Odd Socks Day
We had great fun dancing to Andy and the Odd Socks but their song had a serious message - everyone has the power to do something about bullying and help others!
Thanks to everyone who wore odd socks to raise awareness about Anti-bullying week.
Bonfire art
Remember, remember the 5th of November!
We talked about bonfire and fireworks safety and created our own bonfire pictures using coloured paper, paint and glitter!
Making predictions!
Oak Class began the half term by making predictions about their new book! The children were given images of mystery items from the text and had to consider who the items might be used by and what for. The classroom was fizzing with excitement for our new unit!
Make your mark
Our art this term is all about line and pattern. We explored different types of line and repeated our favourite experiments to create a whole class piece of work.
Evacuation Teddies!
Oak Class concluded their DT learning this half term by stuffing their evacuation teddy bears and finishing their blanket stitches! The children then evaluated their final products - an excellent unit of work that required lots of perseverance. Well done, Oak Class!
Wellbeing Day
We had a fantastic wellbeing day at St Andrew’s. We met Steel from Gladiators who told us how he stays mentally strong and positive. It gave us lots of motivation to always try our best!
