Today we participated in lots of fun activities all about internet safety. Firstly, we worked in groups to rank certain situation and scenarios in order from highest to lowest risk to children, most seen on the internet to least seen and most annoying to least annoying.  We then talked about how our bodies feel if we experience any of those situations and who we can talk to.  In groups we each drew a person and thought of adjectives of how they would feel.

Finally, we created our own listening superheroes.  We talked about what makes a good listener and played role play games on how to listen.

Year 5’s enjoyed a walk around their local Village this morning.  We revised our Green Cross Code before leaving school and looked out for hazards during our walk.  We found safe places to cross the road and identified permanent and temporary hazards.

The boys and girls have all been enjoying ‘Charlotte’s Web’ in class.  We all thought of different food items for Wilbur the pig and used adjectives to describe these.  Some children described them in a very appealing way and some sounded completely revolting! We then designed and created a menu for Wilbur using Microsoft Word.  The boys and girls learnt how to insert a border, use bullet points and insert a picture.  Check out some of the amazing menus.  What would you choose to eat? 🤭

Mrs McClelland’s class finished their ten week block of swimming lessons in Riversadale Leisure Centre yesterday. 

Today the boys and girls have received their certificates to celebrate how far each child can swim.

This class will have a second block of swimming lessons later in the school year. We can’t wait to see how much you will improve over these lessons.

Have a look at our award winners 🏊‍♀️🏊🏼‍♂️

We started learning about length this week.  Children are confident in estimating and measuring in centimetres and metres.  We engaged in fun activities where we measured things in our classroom and parts of our body using rulers and tape measures.  Today, we went outside to measure the length of some dinosaurs using trundle wheels. The largest one we measured was the ultrasaurus which was 30 metres long!  Check out our photos.

What a fantastic effort that was made by our children, staff and parents today for World Book Day.  The children were allowed to wear pyjamas or a book character costume and the effort put in was amazing.  

Well done to each of you. 😁

Last Friday was a very exciting ‘Feel good Friday’ in school. We all had a scone and hot chocolate for break.  It was also Christmas jumper day.  We all paid £1 to wear our jumpers and all money is being donated to ‘Save the Children’.  Some children even made their own Christmas jumpers.
