WORLD BOOK DAY!
We really enjoyed World Book Day in Year 2! This year we had a global focus and seeing as our class topic is Africa, we chose the story 'Handa's Surprise'. We had a full day of art based around the story. We all painted or collaged an animal from the story and helped create the background scenery. The display is now pride of place in the Year 2 corridor, please come and check it out!

Bird Day, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 16th Feb 2017 @ 4:35pm
On Wednesday, Year 1 had a bird day. We looked closely at birds, sketching them using pencils and black biro pens. We then added information to our sketches by researching birds using videos, books and Ipads.
In the afternoon, we identified different birds around the forest and field. What beautiful sounds they make!
Year 1 then used their knowledge about the features of birds and their artistic skills to create clay birds.
We have had lots of fun learning all about birds.
I wonder what facts Year 1 can share with you at home?
Kind feelings, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 16th Feb 2017 @ 4:26pm

We then created bright and colourful hearts to share our happiness with family at home.

After researching and looking at different theatre masks from Ancient Greece, the children drew several of their favourite designs in their sketchbooks. Next, they chose one design and created a more detailed charcoal drawing, which they then sculpted out of clay.
All of Year 4's clay work is currently displayed in the space in front of the main entrance door.

Last week was Children's Mental Health week and we spent the week thinking about KINDNESS.

We all decorated a hand to go on our 'Tree of Kindness! and made some fantastic posters for homework to be displayed in school.

Children's Mental Health Week 2017 - Year 4, by Mrs Hover
Date: 10th Feb 2017 @ 6:37am
On Tuesday, Year 4 began by creating mind-maps based on everything they knew about different feelings. We then played 'Feelings Bingo' and discovered that there were lots more feelings that we hadn't thought about. As we ticked off our Bingo cards, the children gave thought-provoking examples of when people might feel happy, excited, OK, proud, lonely, angry, grumpy, scared...
Next, we read one of Mrs Hover's favourite books, 'The Tear Thief' by Carol Ann Duffy. (The Tear Thief takes away children's tears and, in doing so lessens the causes of them).
We discussed why the children were crying and what could have helped them feel better.
"The tears were jewels inside the darkness of the sack clinking and chinking and winking. Tears of rage were red and glowed like rubies. Tears of envy or jealousy were as green as emeralds. Tears of self-pity were turqoise. Scared tears were white like moonstones and guilty tears were amber."
Finally, we worked in friendship groups acting out scenarios based on 'not so good feelings' and discussed what could have been said or done to make the characters feel better.
Spread a little kindness, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 8th Feb 2017 @ 4:25pm
As it is Children's Mental Health Awareness week, Year 1 have been focusing upon kindness. We carried out an experiment to see how it feels when we do not listen to each other. Unfortunately, it made us feel 'lonely, upset, ignored and forgotten' just like the mouse felt in our class story 'The Lion Inside'.
These are feelings which we did not want, so we turned our sadness into laughter as Ollie F squirted toothpaste out onto a plate! Ollie was then asked to put the toothpaste back inside the tube! Well, this proved to be difficult. Ollie tried, Connor tried, Brooke tried and Seth tried but no-one could put it back into the tube! Luckily, Jessica had an idea! She said...
"When we talk, we can't take it back".
All the class agreed. Just like toothpaste, we can't take back what we say. Therefore we have decided, as a class, that it is always best to think before we say anything.
Our final activity was to think about all the different acts of kindness that we can do and create our own Kindness Flower.
