Year 5 - Abernant Preparation

Excitement is definitely mounting in Year 5...

We really are looking forward to our residential week in Wales.  Here are just a few reminders:

• label EVERYTHING with your name clearly
• pack your own case (with some help if you like)
• purses, containing no more than £7 (in change), need to be handed in by Wednesday 9th March (tomorrow)
• all medical forms need to be completed and return by Wednesday 9th March (tomorrow)
• all medication must be given to Mrs Russell or Mrs Collins

Travel sickness medication
Travel sickness medication must be taken at home before our journey to Wales.
On our return journey to school, if you supply both the medication and the instructions for use, we will administer appropriately.

And finally...
Please remember - no sweets to be packed in suitcases - we will check!

Class 2 Book Trailers ... A must see!!

As part of 'Book Week' Class 2 have made Book Trailers in the style of block buster film trailers using the iMovie app.  The children worked in small groups to create their trailers.  The children worked really hard on them and I think you'll agree they are pretty amazing!  Steven Speilberg's in the making!! ;) Here is one from Henry, Oscar, Fynnie, Frankie and Dante.  Watch this space for uploads of the others!

'Book Week'

We have had a fantastic week here in Class 2 celebrating 'Book Week'.  We have been so busy with a range of activities.  I have uploaded a couple of albums to our section of the website for you to take a look at the wonderful things the children have been up to!  :)

I have also uploaded a few photographs that I managed to snap from this morning's Mother's Day Assembly. 

KS1 SATs meeting

KS1 documentation including example SAT papers and the presentation have been added to the school website in the News/Correspondence area. A huge thank you to those who attended and participated in such a positive discussion about the Moor Hall approach to SATs.

KS1 Star Readers

As part of Book Week, today KS1 had a special Star Readers instead of our usual Star Writer's assembly.  Three children from Class 2 were awarded with certificates and bookmarks.  I have uploaded some photographs to our section of the website if you would like to find out who they were!

Class 2's Trip to the National Space Centre

Before half term Class 2 visited the National Space Centre.  We had such a fantastic time!  I have uploaded photographs from our day to the children's work section of the website.

RSPB Wildlife Action Gold Award

Twelve children have recently been presented with their badges, certificates and stickers for passing the RSPB Wildlife Action Gold Awards. Mr. Fisher from the RSPB attended the assembly to help with the presentation.

Over many months children from the 'Bird Club' have been completing activities to help wildlife and the environment. To gain the Gold Award the children had to complete eighteen tasks, which is a huge achievement.

Thank you children for your hard work and commitment. Well done.

Year 3 Poetry Collage - Help please

On Thursday afternoon class 3 will be creating a collage of the sea, using our poem Waves as inspiration.

We will need paper, foil, material, tissue paper and colour magazines in order to achieve great results.

If you have anything you think would be suitable please bring them to school by Thursday.

Thank you in advance.
