Christmas fair!

The children enjoyed visiting the KS2 Christmas Fair this afternoon.  KS2 pupils and staff have been working very hard designing and making products all week to sell at the fair.  It was lovely to see it so well supported!

Emma Jane's Aeroplane

We read this story which will be the basis of our work next term. The children went on to freeze-frame how Emma Jane and the animals escaped from the water.

The children have planned the activities and learning they want to carryout next term.

Christmas Entrepreneur Fayre!

Aderyn Du have been thoroughly enjoying making some fantastic things to sell at our Christmas Fayre on Friday 6th December, 2pm!  All welcome!

Pupil Voice.....Planning for Spring Term!

As part of our Spring Term topic ‘Our Wonderful World’, we read the story ‘Emma Jane’s Aeroplane’.

We freeze framed halfway through the story and in our ‘Mantle of the Expert’ groups we predicted and acted out alternative endings to the story.

 

In our ‘Mantle of the Expert’ groups we also thought about what we would like to learn this term.

We produced mind maps showing our ideas.

 

Food bank delivery!

Helen Anderson from Knighton food bank was delighted to receive our donations today.  Many thanks to all who donated to such a worthy local cause.

 

 

Library Visit

Today we went for a walk to the library.  We were welcomed by Hannah who kindly read us a story and allowed us to use the school library card to borrow some exciting and interesting stories.  We had a fabulous time.  Many thanks to the volunteers that joined us on the walk.

Library Visit

Today we visited the library.  Hannah, the librarian, told us a story about a French dinosaur called Pierre! It was a great story. We all chose a book to bring back to school.. 

Maths across the Curriculum!

We used 3D and 2D shapes to build models of natural and man-made features of Knighton. We thought about how we would put the shapes together and tried to make the 2D shapes tessellate. 

Knighton Food bank!

We are very pleased to be supporting Knighton Food bank this year.  Helen Anderson has been to visit Foundation Phase to explain to us how the food bank supports local people.

If you would like to donate any non-perishable food items, please see Sarah by 2nd December.

Thanks

Parts of a plant

As part of our work on Jack and the Beanstalk, we have been learning about plants.  We have investigated the parts of a plant and discussed their functions.
