Going on an adventure!
In literacy, we are looking at scripts. Each group has got their own script with a different adventure. Today, we looked at the setting description at the beginning and got ourselves into our starting positions.
Arctic Adventure
ALL THE ESKIMOS ARE TRAVELLING ON A SLEDGE WITH DOGS PULLING THEM. IT IS VERY COLD.
Antarctic Adventure
ALL THE EXPLORERS ARE STANDING IN THE COLD ON THE SOUTH POLE, LOOKING A BIT CONFUSED.
Indian Adventure
A GROUP OF CHILDREN ARE ON A SCHOOL TRIP NEAR THE INDIAN OCEAN. IT IS VERY HOT.
Pacific Adventure
FISHERMEN ARE STUCK ON AN ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN. IT IS VERY HOT AND THEY ARE ALL SITTING UNDER A TREE FOR SHADE.
Atlantic Adventure
ON A BOAT SAILING FROM ENGLAND TO AMERICA BUT THERE IS A BIG STORM THAT IS GETTING STRONGER. THE SAILORS ARE SCARED.
We’re looking forward to practising and performing the rest of the scene while we learn about the features of a play script.

How can sitting on a bus make you a hero?
There was a lady in America who was arrested for not giving her seat up on a bus. She was a black American lady and she was arrested because she did not give up her seat for a white man.
Why is she a hero?
She is a hero because she fought for the rights of black people in America. Here are some photos of Y1 doing some drama while learning about Rosa Parks.
Challenge Corner
Challenges in Maths have been welcomed by the Year 1 children – they are always up for a challenge! There are different challenges in this corner over two weeks; they will relate to some learning that the children have already done but will extend their thinking even more. These challenges should develop the children’s independence while pushing their learning even further.
How many will you get?
There has been some tricky maths going on in Year 1. Grouping and sharing, the beginnings of division, has had the brains ticking more than ever. Lots of practical work and some very resilient attitudes have shown that we can divide in Year 1.
Congratulations!
Congratulations to Evie and Poppy who were elected as the school councillors for Reception Class.
Well done to all the other candidates as well. We were really impressed with how confidently and clearly everyone spoke.
“Run, run, as fast as you can!”
Having spent three weeks learning, acting out and writing about the Gingerbread Man, Year 2 decided to try and make our own. But did it come to life?
In groups, we seived, beat, stirred and kneaded until we had a rich, brown dough that smelt delicious! We then cut out our Gingerbread shapes and popped them into the oven – just like Granny!
The staff in the office were teased by the tempting scents that wafted in their direction and, with mouths watering, we took out our perfectly cooked Gingerbread. Don’t worry! It wasn’t running!
Here are our decorations.
