Marvellous medicine?

Book week, and Class 3G were mixing potions as part of their study of Roald Dahl!

Year 4 and parents

It was Year 4's time for Working Together
First, teachers introduced the Year 4 Family Learning Project - "Invaders and Settlers" 
(Romans, Anglo Saxons, Vikings and Normans)  

Then we thought about the food the Romans ate 

...and the types of food they didn't eat...

Then parents and children designed and made mosaics with a food theme. 

Parents and children were shown last year's projects and given  tips to completing their own projects which will be collected in on or before 31st January. 

These pictures may well be featured in the projects

Last year's projects were excellent - will these be even better?

Meanwhile, here are members of Year 4 in fancy dress and onesies - raising money for Guide Dogs for the Blind

Elmer, and dress up day - Nursery-style

Football triumph and an assembly

and then getting carried away by their success!

(Thankyou Mr P for the photographs!)

1S did an assembly about Ourselves and Our Bodies!

They were helped by their Partner Class, 5K

The final song was "Dem Bones", which included a dance

The everyone joined in when they sang it again.

We all sang it again afterwards, which was a bit of a record!

Book Week - reception style

Reception children have been exploring the story 'Owl Babies' by Martin Waddell

They have been drawing and making labels in Reception Yellow,

 making masks in Reception Red,

and exploring shape and size through cutting and collage activities in Reception Blue

They also enjoyed drawing owls on the whiteboard

History and RE

Year 5 were comparing their lives with children from Victorian times

It provoked some lively discussion

There were points for and against.

In RE, children from 2S built a Tower of Babel from biscuits.

Another talking point!

Film Club's special visitor

Three pictures from last week's Film Club. 

Our Film Club is so successful that we had a special visitor,...

...Justin Richards, the Film Club coordinator for West Midlands. He brought a film to share with the children: Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, and then children completed postcard reviews. There were T-Shirt prizes for the best reviewers. 

Thanks to the teachers who run Film Club and the children who belong to it.

Justin was very impressed with the organisation, the number of children, their enthusiasm and the quality of their reviews
