Who can be a hero?

Posted on Monday 16 January 2012 by Mrs Weekes

This will be one of the questions your child will be asking in our Big Topic this term.

  • Is it a sporting hero? 
  • A historical hero?
  • A comic book hero?

All of these questions will be investigated and the children will be able to decide who they think is a hero.  There will be opportunities to think about local, national and worldwide heroes.   Are all heroes the same? 

Talk about your family heroes with your child.

How can you be a hero?

It’s Party Time

Posted on Monday 12 December 2011 by Mrs Weekes

On Thursday 15 December it will be the Christmas party for Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 after lunch.  The children must come to school in their school uniform but are welcome to bring some party clothes to change into for the party.

Please ensure that the clothes are easy for the children to put on themselves and that they are in a named carrier bag.  Please remember that they will be playing party games and dancing so make sure that the shoes that they bring are sensible. 

Thank you.

We were lucky enough to have a visitor on Friday.  Richard Gale (Indi’s dad) is a paramedic and he came in to talk about his job.  As you can see we had great fun using bandages, oxygen masks and stethoscopes!  It looked like there had been an awful accident at one point but I can assure you that no-one was hurt at all!

Thank you Richard for taking the time to visit us.

Eureka!!

Posted on Wednesday 16 November 2011 by Mrs Weekes

As you know, Year 1 and Year 2 went to Eureka museum in Halifax on Tuesday 15 November.  The main focus of our day was in the learning area known as “Me and My Body.”  Our learning included the way our mouths work, how fast we breathe and how our skeletons move.

Look at all those teeth!

Before we left there was some banking to be done and some shopping, not to mention some repair work on a broken down car.

Super Sculptures!

Posted on Wednesday 09 November 2011 by Mrs Weekes

It is not only children who are involved in learning.  On Tuesday, all of the teaching staff were involved in a Art workshop and some super sculptures were produced.

Check out the new member of our school community, Sebastian.

Mrs Burke, Mrs Weekes, Mrs Maver and Miss Hewson worked together to sculpt using newspaper and modrock and this is the result.

Look out for him in the middle building.

Children from Year 1 to Year 6 had the opportunity to participate in an afternoon of learning something new. The activities ranged from everyday baking and cooking to the unusual: creating their own carbon footprint.

An Amazing Assembly

Posted on Wednesday 19 October 2011 by Mrs Weekes

Last Thursday, Year 1 shared their learning in “a really fab assembly”. The children have been learning about the people in our community and showed this through drama and singing.

“What a wonderful show. Excellent theme for them to appreciate all the people that help us.”

As you can see from the quotes, our parents thought the children did really well.  Thank you to all the parents for your support.

“What a fantastic performance – such confidence from all of the children.”

What a week we had last week!  It was amazing how much we learnt in such a short time.  We now know how to stay safe in many situations: 

  •   around dogs
  • dancing and keeping fit
  • in case of fire
  • when crossing the road
  • when someone is hurt
