A great day was had by all. There were some amazing costumes and some fantastic entries into the plate competition. We ate biscuits and drank hot chocolate whilst we enjoyed a story or two - can we do it again soon (without the costumes though, Mr Wheelwright has asked)???
We have to thank all of the adults for coming in to share our stories with us. In dance this half term, we have been learning some dance moves with a Victorian theme, which were: servant, Queen Victoria, Industrial Revolution, chimney sweep, cane and carpet beater. Once the children had learnt the moves, in small groups, they choreographed a full dance. 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.
