The Arts
Honk..
We took part in the drama festival. Our performance of Honk was brilliant! The children had a great time performing in a real threater to a packed audience. We are so proud of you all Year Five!
Reading Buddies…
One of the strategies we use to develop a love of reading as well as building strong peer relationships is ‘Reading Buddies’. Pupils read with their buddies today and listened to stories from adults and other pupils in school- reading really is the key!
We really got into the sprit of World Book Day today
…as the pupils embraced all things reading. Children dressed up as their favourite characters and shared their favourite books through the day. A day to remember for everyone.
We have just visited Barnsley Libary in Year Five.
We shared lots of books, explored the shelves and even got to see the amazing Makerspace Lab. We hope many and motivated to keep using the library to source new books.
Miss Ryan has enjoyed another great training day as EAL ambassador for St Mary’s.
She will be sharing ways to further support pupils with English as an additional language and implementing further strategies across school.
Investing in quality texts is key to providing children with a love of reading…
Year Five love reading for pleasure and sharing the books they love in school and from home.
Three little pigs…
Some amazing problem solving, teamwork and mathematical language being used today in Reception Class when recreating the house of bricks from the 3 Little Pigs. The pupils are really enjoying learning all about traditional tales.
Traditional Tales
We are loving learning all about Traditional Tales this half term in Foundation Stage. We are investigating different materials in Science along with creating our very own characters and stories.
Toby and the Great Fire of London
We have started our new whole class text ‘Toby and the Great Fire of London’ this week. We have focused on the reading skill prediction. There were amazing predictions happening around what may happen next in the text, using what we have read so far to help us.
Last half term, Year Six studied Holes by Louis Sachar.
The pupils engaged greatly with the text in reading and English lessons. Here are some of the pupils final independent writing pieces from this brilliant text.
