The Year 6 leavers spent a wonderful day at Bewilderwood exploring all the adventure areas and challenging themselves to do activities they were slightly nervous about. The zip wires were their particular favourites!
Diamond Class Activities
Oliver
We have learned how to up-level our work by adding expanded noun phrases, and by choosing specific topic related vocabulary. We watched clips from Oliver then wrote our own opening scenes using wonderful description.
Empathy Day
We celebrated Empathy Day on Monday 13th June by learning about how to be compassionate to others. We learned to have empathy to others by wearing our own empathy glasses and writing our empathy resolutions. We read lots of empathy stories and discussed and learned from the issues raised in them. We then wrote our own empathy stories and made them into a book so others can learn from ours. We hope you enjoy reading them!
We Welcome Refugees
The whole school took part in a Norfolk Day of Welcome in June. We watched Michael Rosen talk about his life and learned about his and others experience of being a refugee. We thought about how we would like to welcome refugees and wore non-school uniform to raise £75.00 for Great Yarmouth Refugee and Outreach Support.
Sports Day
We had a wonderful sports day where everyone did their best and took part in a range of races. There were lots of our values like courage, perseverance and compassion being shown during the morning. Well done all.
Crows Maths
As part of transition and learning about N.C. Wyeth’s ‘Crows in Winter’, we learned in Maths about the history of a tangram. We then used a tangram puzzle to create our own birds. Can you recognise any birds in what we created?
Crows Art
Year Two joined us for a transition morning and we learned about N.C. Wyeth’s ‘Crows in Winter’ painting. We recreated his painting learning how to use a range of media like pastels, paper art and collage.
Forest Schools
We took part in two taster forest school sessions in preparation for our lessons in September. We explored the area, talking part in little activities, and wrote our own safety rules. We can’t wait for autumn term when we will have lessons every week!
Fraction Games
Year Three and Four have been consolidating what they have learned about fractions this week by playing different games. The games ranged from Fraction Bingo where they matched written fractions with diagrams to Fraction Splash where they recognised and named equivalent fractions. They also played Snakes and Ladders by subtracting two mixed number fractions. We worked hard and had great fun too!
