During this week’s special assembly, two young experts shared their knowledge of 3d shape names. Here they are holding a pentagonal prism and a 3 dodecahedrons that they made using ‘Clixi’.
Following on from our wonderful Toddler Taster event this week, some of our Reception and year 1 pupils had fun making Banana Fudge Muffins this afternoon. Delicious!
This afternoon, children in year 1 entertained us with their wonderful version of The Three Little Pigs inspired by the inspiring resources in our classroom environment. Each pupil played a key role in the performance; whether it be narrating the story; animating the puppets; or playing musical instruments used to create different sound effects. Clear voices, confident speaking and enthusiastic participation ensured everyone thoroughly enjoyed the show. They had even created tickets and programmes too!
Today at colouring club we welcomed children of all ages from across school. The room was quiet and calm with everyone focusing on nothing but their choice of colours and their shading.
Thank you to our dedicated members of Scafell Class who run this club every Monday.
We had a wonderful time at Toddler Taster this morning creating delicious and healthy treats and sending delicious aromas around the whole school to make the rest of our children (and staff), very envious!
All of our pre-school guests and their adults enjoyed a creative and fun session making everything from cheesy potato boats, to lamb muffins.
Thank you to everyone who came along this morning to enjoy such a lovely time. It is our pleasure to offer these sessions to our local community and we really hope that you have the next one in your diary – Monday 18th March at 9.30am.
This week, our nursery children have been developing their number recognition skills by playing ‘Splat’. Each child had an opportunity to roll a dice, count the dots. When they found the number on the carpet, they enjoyed saying and splatting the number with a fly swatter! Great fun and super counting!
This week, Scafell pupils have started their new topic in French: ‘At the cafe’. We have begun by developing our vocabulary for food and drink by playing games; speaking and listening and drawing foods we like and dislike.
J’aime la glace.
J’aime les saucisses mais je n’aime pas le poulet.
This morning, Scafell began this term’s work on shape by exploring the school grounds searching for, identifying, sketching and then describing the properties of the 2D shapes they discovered. These included: rhombus, square, trapezium, parallelogram, kites.
High level vocabulary was used effectively and appropriately to describe each shape:
Today all our year 5 & 6 pupils proudly shared their topic homework completed over the Christmas holidays. Each child conducted their own research before producing an information report on a famous volcano of their choice. These included: Mount Etna, Mount Vesuvius and Krakatoa. Their work demonstrated their knowledge and included: photographs with captions, diagrams, glossaries, technical vocabulary, headings and subheadings.
We have been delighted with the high levels of attendance from pupils in all three classes during the autumn term. We appreciate that no one can help being ill so we have decided to award a ‘Good Attender Certificate’ too for those pupils with 98% or above, Well done to our 100% attenders this term – 21 pupils in total.
