In the afternoon, we all took part in a dramatisation of 'The Pharoah's Birthday' which soon became 'The Pharoahs Funeral'. We had a great time and learned so many interesting facts; we were even treated to an experience of the mummification process. Thanks Jonesy!Today we were joined by the famous explorer and archeaologist 'Jonesy'. In the morning, we learned all about a range of Egyptian artifacts, played some board games common during the period and completed a quiz based on our own research from the resources provided. It was great fun!CRUCIAL CREW Take a look at the year 6 children on their trip to Crucial Crew. We travelled to the LifeWise Centre, in Rotherham, where we completed 8 different scenarios. We learned how to keep safe in different situations and about of the consequences of breaking the law. We had the best day and these are the scenarios that we took part in:
What a lovely morning it was for a game of tennis today. Class 8 were putting all the skills they have learnt over the last half term into practise with doubles matches. They all played brilliantly and who knows, perhaps we have the next Andy Murray or Emma Radacanu on our hands! In our writing lessons we have been learning about figurative language, in particular metaphor, similes and personification. We have used our imaginations and worked really hard.We were very excited to welcome our very own Viking Warrior to UKS2! Throughout the day we took part in a Viking talk, played a Viking board game, investigated artefacts and even reenacted a real Viking battle! We all very much enjoyed ourselves and were excited to be historians for the day.  The children in Class 8 fully embraced world book day. A number of us dressed in pajamas to enjoys a great book and some even dressed as their favourite storybook character. We had a great day, enjoying stories, drinking hot chocolate and eating biscuits. Today, in Class 8 (and some of Class 7), we used smarties to aid our understanding of data. We discovered that there are indeed 29 smarties in every tube and that the 29 can be made up of any random amount of coloured smarties. This week, Class 8 are putting their sewing skills to the test in order to create their very own stuffed toys! Today we concentrated upon perfecting the running stitch. In Year 5, we were incredibly lucky to visit Theatre Royal Wakefield before we broke up for Christmas and what a treat it was! We were able to see the Panto - Dick Whittington and the children and staff had the best time. For some of the children in Year 5, it was the first time they had ever experienced a pantomime and the joy of being in an actual theatre. The children could not believe their eyes when we entered. The children thoroughly enjoyed it and sung, clapped and booed their way throughout the performance. We even received a treat in the interval (ice cream or ice lolly). We all had the best morning out which was made even better when the ushers asked to speak me (Mrs Gollick) to say how excellently behaved the Year 5 children of Athersley South were. All of the teachers were incredibly proud of how the children conducted themselves. This would not have been possible, if not for the generous and kind donation from Roz and her husband. We can't thank you enough for the experience, we really did have the best morning. We thoroughly enjoyed our workshop this afternoon with Kirsty from Compass. It was a fantastic opportunity to talk about healthy relationships and discuss how to manage turbulent times by communicating honestly in respectful ways to overcome our problems. We're looking forward to more wonderful workshops with you to focus such valuable time on learning strategies to mange our emotional and mental wellbeing.  |
