Able Writers’ Day

/in /by

Two children from Year 6 were chosen to take part in a special workshop with one of the UK’s leading performance poets, Neal Zetter. Neal shared his poems with the children and encouraged them to write their own poems about ‘Seasons’ using metaphors and similes. In the afternoon children worked in groups to write and perform their own performance poems about potatoes!

The children came back really inspired by the workshop and cannot wait to put their skills into their next piece of writing!!

 

Anti Bullying Week – KS1

Year 1 & 2 worked productively from gaining valuable knowledge in class and external organisations i.e. Human Relief Foundation who delivered an important lesson speaking about the effects our words and actions can have on others. Children designed superhero costumes and learnt about sharing and spreading love and treating each other fairly.  Year 1 & 2 incorporated the theme throughout the week in their learning. The children delivered an outstanding assembly performance sharing the ‘power of kinds words’.

This week, Year 3 and 4 visited Pizza Express. Children were given instructions for health and safety and then began learning how to make a pizza. They were shown how to knead the dough and add the tomato pasata sauce. They were then given toppings to add to their own pizzas. The class had a fantastic time and came back with their own yummy pizzas to share with their families!

 

Year 5/6 Oxford University Trip

/in /by

The year 5 & 6 spent the day at Wadham College, which is one of the many colleges that belong to Oxford University; and that dates as far back as the beginning of the 10th century! We were thrilled to take part in a science experiment and sample what it is like to take part in a lecture that conducts research!  We ate in one of the many old rooms surrounded by paintings of some of the first professors and famous students since the college opened! And to finish off a fun packed day, we visited the Natural History Museum in Oxford, where we got to hold live exotic cockaroaches, and see and touch all sorts of familiar and strange creatures, great and small!
