We have had an amazing day doing a range of exciting activities!!
We have been very busy baking cakes, painting pictures, riding on the bikes, making masks and doing music and movement in the gym.
Music Workshop on Well-Being Wednesday!
We really enjoyed our music session with Jim Elliot today. We learnt about different types of guitar, increased our musical vocabulary and also played some tunes on the boomwhackers! It was great fun!
‘It was helpful to find out more about guitars’ Conna Y6
‘It was brilliant playing the boomwhackers!’ Lennie Y5
Clay
We had to plan our artefacts, based on the research we have completed. Next we had to calculate how much clay each pupil could have.
“Ew, I don’t like the feeling of this clay!”
“It’s a bit like Bake Off, isn’t it?!”
“I didn’t realise we could smooth it with our hands!”
Music Workshop
We had a great time at the music workshop with Jim! We listened to him playing his instruments and loved playing the boom whackers!
PC Ainsworth
The children had a special visit from PC Ainsworth. They discussed the importance of staying safe online
Folk Dancing
Children have loved practising their dance skills and learning some Welsh folk dancing!
Remembrance
I am so proud of all the children this week with their mature approach to learning about Remembrance. They listened carefully and thought of sensible discussion points. We discussed the significance of the poppy and looked at ‘Poppy Fields’ Vincent Van Gogh and the children created their own versions.
Sliders and levers
The children created their own picture book with moving parts to depict the story of ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’
Celebrating Diwali!
Children celebrated the Hindu Festival of Light. They read and acted out the story of Rama and Sita, made diva lama, lanterns, decorations and created their own Diwali dance.
Online Safety
Today, we had a visit from PC Viv. She taught us lots about how to keep safe online and about age limits for apps and games. We had a very informative and useful discussion. Well done to all the children for getting involved and sharing their knowledge on this topic!
