Diamond Class Activities – Fleggburgh CofE VC Primary School

Soar on Wings

We take inspiration from Isaiah 40:31, “They will soar on wings like eagles; They will run and not grow weary; They will walk and not be faint.” to ‘Soar on Wings’ in our school. We all worked together in our circle groups to think about what this means for us. We presented our thoughts in lots of different ways. Can you ‘Soar on Wings’?

Summer Reading Challenge

A librarian for Great Yarmouth Library visited us to present the pupils who had completed the Summer Reading Challenge with their medal and certificate. An amazing 28 pupils completed the challenge! We are so proud of them.

Exploring Noun Phrases

We explored the use of noun phrases and pronouns to build cohesion in our piece of writing about Philippe Petit.

Tightrope Walking

In English, we have been reading about Philippe Petit who walked between the Twin Towers in New York. We tried to tightrope walk to gather emotions to include in our writing. Terrified was definitely one of the strongest feelings we all had!

World Book Day

Everyone in school celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as a character from a book and sharing that book with their House group. They also wrote a book review recommending why others should read the book.

Horstead

What a fabulous time Y5 and 6 had on residential at the Horstead Centre and they were pleased this year to be joined by our Federation school, Salhouse CEVC Primary. Lots of new friends were made and pupils learned to use our school values of perseverance and courage to tackle a lot of adventurous outdoor activities. They were an absolute pleasure to take away and everyone is super proud of them.

WW2 Silhouettes

Inspired by images from WW2, Diamond Class learned how to create a backwash and cut images from black paper to create city war scenes. The final images were dramatic and thought provoking.

WW2 Inspired Dance

Diamond Class have been looking at different dance styles that were popular during the wartime period. They choregraphed their own dances based on the tempo and movement used in the original dance. They had great fun performing their versions of the Charleston, Lambeth Walk and the Lindy Hop to the rest of the class.
