Christmas Eggnog Winners!

Well done to all children who took part in our Christmas ‘Eggnog’ challenge.  Children were asked to learn a variety of number facts and spellings. These children were the overall winners in their classes.

A visit from Santa!

We were delighted that Santa dropped in and visited us yesterday for our Christmas party.  We enjoyed chatting to him about Christmas and he commented on our exceptional manners and our excellent behaviour!

Investigating Christmas Cards

Today we have been busy investigating different types of Christmas cards.  We have looked at the four types of Christmas card; Biblical, Secular, Humorous and Victorian and discussed their similarities and differences.

In our groups we sorted the Christmas cards in a variety of ways.

Community Carols

Well done to all children who attended the Community Carol Singing last night at Knighton Community Centre.  The singing was absolutely fantastic.  Thank you also to members of staff and parents who attended.

Baubles!

,Well done to all Foundation Phase pupils for a fantastic nativity performance of ‘Baubles.’

 

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!

Locomotion!

This week we have been developing our jumping, hopping, skipping, leaping, walking, marching and rolling skills.

We enjoyed playing the games ‘Simon Says’ and ‘Island Hopping’.

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.
