Miss Fairbrother teachers Emerald Class PE every Monday. We are currently learning ball skills and this week we learned how to bounce and catch a ball.
Emerald Class Activities
Tacon’s Farm Visit
The whole school visited Tacon’s Farm to learn how potatoes, onions and pumpkins are grown. Each pupil picked their own potato and onion and Year 6s were lucky and got to pick a pumpkin each. We will be using the produce to make pumpkin soup and potatoes cons for our Harvest Festival celebrations so keep checking the website to see what we make!
A big thank you to Emma and Tacon’s Farm for teaching us about farming and for donating all we picked!
Outdoor Learning
In outdoor learning Emerald class made autumn pictures from natural materials. Some of us used conkers, leaves, and acorns. Others used sticks and even branches to create a picture. Reindeers, butterflies and stick insects were just some of our ideas.
Sapphire Class – 3D Shapes
In Sapphire Class, we have been learning about 3D shapes. We built a range of 3D shapes using Polydron, including hexahedrons, dodecahedrons and octahedrons! We talked about how many faces, vertices and edges the shapes have.
Sapphire Class – Fiction and Non-Fiction
This week, we have been learning about the features of fiction and non-fiction books. As reading detectives, we looked for clues to help us sort the books into groups. Some of the books were really tricky to work out like the book about fossils that looked like a story book! We came up with a table of clues to help us work out if a book was fiction or non-fiction.
Emerald Class RSHE
In RSHE we have been looking at how to stay safe in the sun.
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.
UEA Athletics
Some of the school represented us at the U.E.A cluster sports and they did incredibly well. We won a staggering 17 medals! We are incredibly proud of every pupil that went.
Talking Books
Year One and Two have been creating a talking book of their own favourite story that they can share with others. We learned how talking books differ from paper-based books, how to record our voices and how to create our characters to use in our stories. We thought they were great and we hope you do too!
