Years 4, 5 and 6, welcome to the ‘Advent Rehearsal’ blog! Click on each song and start singing! Try it without your lyrics in front of you when you’re ready. Sing so much and so passionately that even your family know the songs! Let’s make our Thursday 5th December, 5.30pm performance one to remember! #BRWSpiritStrong

Year 3 spent some time exploring playscripts and their layout in order to identify key features. What better way to do that then to actually perform one?

Working in groups, they organised themselves into different roles and then used the stage directions to ensure actions and dialogue were accurate.

They were then able to use these features in their own plays, a ‘Revolting Rhymes’ style version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Some fantastic playscripts were produced because they worked so well together. Great work Year 3!

The children were amazing at the Windmill. They had so much energy and confidence climbing up and down four flights of steps! They learned about how the Miller turns the grain into flour for our bread. They kneaded the bread to make different-shaped bread rolls – we hope they shared these with their families! They also had chance to explore all the scientific and mathematical exhibits – look out for some funny photographs of the mirrors!

TTRS and Numbots!

Mathletics Results

Year 6 performed a brilliant class assembly this morning, reflecting on everything they’ve learnt in the last 6 weeks! Their theme for this term is ‘Is Our World Always as it Seems?’, exploring how propaganda has been used throughout history and how it impacted people’s beliefs. Linking their learning, they’ve also learnt about the artist Marc Chagall, layering WW2 music and in Science, how electricity was used to make search lights. They really were TRIPLE THREATS today – singing, acting and dancing! They should be extremely proud of their incredible performance. Well done! 🙂

Year 3 are enjoying learning about Rocks! We have spent some time making close observational drawings of them and looking at different type of rock features. We have also started a good collection of our own in the classroom. Rock on Year 3!

Year 1 had a wonderful visit to Nottingham Castle last week. We went to see an exhibition in the art gallery called Kaleidoscopic Realms. Year 1 are learning about colour in our art lessons and the exhibition was all about the use of colour in contemporary pieces of art.

The children enjoyed looking at the beautiful creations and were able to talk about what they liked about each piece. One piece of art was all about looking after planet Earth. This piece inspired the children to think about God’s gift of the world and how we should look after it. They created their own designs with this in mind.

Whilst at the castle, we visited the adventure playground to burn off some energy, visited Robin Hood’s Adventure and had a look around the beautiful gardens.

What a fabulous day!

Last week, Year 3 spent a Stone Age day at Brackenhurst Education Centre. They had a fantastic time doing a whole range of activities. In the morning, we walked out to the woods and sat around the camp discussing the different eras. Then we used tools to saw and drill wooden medallions, painted walls like Early Man did and also built animal enclosures to keep our animals in.

After a well-earned lunch, we decorated out medallions, made clay pots and oh yes….recreated Stonehenge! Have a look…
