Class Introduction

Today, we took part in a range of ‘Children in Need’ themed activities. We spent the morning learning all about Children in Need and why we support it each year. The children took part in Joe Wicks’ live PE lesson. After this, we spent some time learning some mindfulness techniques from Dr Ranj and talked about what we are grateful for. In maths, we had lots of Pudsey themed code breaking maths to work through using our knowledge of addition, subtraction and multiplication.
We are really looking forward to seeing you all in September and getting to know each other. In Quartz class your teachers are Mrs Jowers (who will teach you on Mondays and Tuesdays) and Mrs Barrett (who will teach you on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays). We are very lucky that we also have Mrs Ward who will help us in class every morning as well as Mrs Gardiner.
What a misty morning we had up at Coaley Peak today!
Our first stop was Nympsfield Long Barrow where we asked lots of questions about who built it, why it was constructed there and how it was used for ceremonies.
Then we started our sponsored ramble whilst looking out for items on our Nature Checklist. Do you know what red campion, sloe bushes and hart’s tongue ferns look like?
We took our topic books so that we could sketch the world around us ready to inspire our next piece of story writing.

What an experience this was! The children and teachers all thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to Michael Rosen on Thursday morning. He had lots of funny stories, read an extract from his new book and just wowed us with his amazing writing talent. It was definitely a author event we will remember!!

On Wednesday 6th October (as long as it is dry) we will be creating our own sadness shelters to end our discussions around the emotion ‘sadness’. For this your child may wish to bring in some flowers from their garden and some photo’s or items that remind them of a loved one they miss or about a sad time in their life. We will use these to help create our shelters. Many thanks, Mrs Barrett
