Gastrells are continuing to encourage children to enjoy reading and teach the children a variety of different skills such as inference and deduction.
Eagles have been busy guided reading with non fiction texts this afternoon.
A flying start to a life of learning.
Team GB
Ospreys have been learning about ‘team GB’. Rachel, Myles, Cody & Brook came to tell me all about it.
“We have been learning about which pieces of Great Britain are in the Union flag.” Rachel
“The different colours represent the places in Britain.” Cody “Wales is not in part of the flag, because when they decided upon the flag Wales was part of England.”
“We cut out different shapes & then we stuck them together as the Union flag.” Rachel
“It was really really hard , even Miss Turner couldn’t do it!!” Brook
Which way now?
Owls have been busy learning about directions and using the Beebots to help them.

Sparrowhawks have been learning all about the life cycle of a butterfly.
They have a caterpillar nursery, they have been creating PowerPoints about the life cycles and examining each stage of their growth carefully.
Have a look at what they have been doing?
Is it symmetrical?
Ospreys have been very busy today looking at symmetry & creating their own symmetrical patterns. They used playdough, their bodies & lego to make their patterns. Have a look for the lines of symmetry.

Let’s get musical!

How do blind athletes participate in different sports?
The Peregrines are imagining what it would be like to be a blind athlete by practising passing a jingly ball in PE. It was really tricky!

Paralympics
All the children were lucky enough to have an assembly by James Brown, paralympian today. James came in to speak about his sport, his eyesight and the Paralympics.
The children can find out more information about James and his team mates on the ‘Follow Your Star’ website, and more about the British paralympic team on the ‘Paralympics UK’ website.
