Last week in “Celebrating Cultures” Skills Academy our Pupils danced their way through a vast variety of international dance styles. In just under an hour we have experienced Latin Salsa, French Ballet, American Cheerleading, Irish Dance, Hip Hop, Hawaiian Hula, Banghra and Bollywood fusion!
Year 3 and 4 have been working really hard practising the songs for our Christmas Musical Extravaganza, and we can’t wait to perform to you next week😁🎄🎶
This week year 4 had a visit from three fire fighters from the West Midlands Fire Service. They talked to us about staying safe and explained what we should do in an emergency.
We held a cake sale and wore our pyjamas to school to raise money for Children in Need.
Last week was Anti-Bullying Week. On Monday, we wore odd socks to celebrate our unique qualities and promote kindness and acceptance.
The children enjoyed using masking tape and chalk to create designs on the playground.
We became trainee archaeologists for the morning and investigated bones and skeletons, to try to decide what kind of animal they used to belong to! We gathered ideas to help us with the non-chronological reports we are going to write about extinct animals.
The children had fun in Mrs Kingswell’s Skills Academy group, using chalk to create pieces of art.
This week we have done active learning in PVPG where we sorted sentences where ‘and’ was used to join independent clauses, and sentences where ’and’ was used to join subjects. Mrs Kingswell’s Maths group went into the learning hub to practise adding with regrouping. We solved problems and checked our answers by scanning the QR codes.
