Christmas has arrived on East Street Market

This afternoon, the Christmas lights were turned on on East Street market for the start of advent. The choir and after school club were asked to perform a few christmas carols at the event and they did a fantastic job! Plenty of market stall traders and shoppers stopped to listen to their beautiful singing and join in the celebrations. There were even mince pies and presents for everyone!

Take a look at some of our photos and video!

We are Advertisers!

In Years 5 and 6, as part of our creative curriculum topic, The Seven Seas, we have been learning all about the Clipper race!

We have even been writing our own persuasive texts to advertise the round the world race. Have a read of one of them below! You can even watch the advert that we recorded!

Year 6 School Journey Video

Take a look at the video of our Year 6 children going on School Journey in September! They had a fantastic time, but now they will be passing on their knowledge to the Year 5's who will also be going to Kingswood in September.

There will be a meeting for Year 5 parents on Wednesday 3rd December 2014 to learn more about the school journey and have any of their questions answered.

Its a Viking Raid!

Last week, the children in Year 6 used their knowledge of Viking weapons and raiding techniques to plan and carry out their own raid!

On one side of the playground, we had the Vikings, straight off their boat from Scandinavia.

On the other side, we had the English villagers, ready to defend their homeland. 

It was a long, tiring battle; the Vikings appeared to be winning with the use of their double edged axes and meter long spears, but then the English caught them by surprise with their archers hiding in the bushes!

Here are some photos, take a look and then leave a comment telling us who you think should win the battle!

British Museum

Last week, Years 5 and 6 visited the British Museum to learn even MORE about Vikings! We discovered Viking artifacts, a buried ship and even jewelry. Take a look at some of the photos...

Wire Modelling

In Years 5 and 6, we have been learning how to use wire to model figurines. As our topic is The Seven Seas this term, we have been creating passengers from the Titanic and molding their figures from wire. 

Next week, we hope to cover them in newspaper and then mod-roc over the top. After that, we will add clothing and paint on the features. Keep checking our blog to keep updated!

It's Numeracy book week!

Phase 3/4 has been transformed into a sweet shop, greengrocers and bakery this week. Inspired by our book - The High Street - we have been investigating donuts, sweets, fruit and money! 

Sea Lion class created fruit bowl patterns  and used these to predict what fruit would be in the 11th and 15th bowls.

 

Dolphin class have been using their times tables knowledge to help them create different arrays of sweets.
