In Design Technology we made some houses from 1666. The children made their houses using cardboard and using the measuring skills they have learnt in Numeracy. The children then painted them and chose a design for their house. They look simply amazing on our classroom display!

Year 4’s ‘Awareness Video’ about Sumatran Tigers, by Mrs Hover
Date: 19th Dec 2016 @ 8:49pm
Please look at our video called, ‘Would it be OK…?’ about the plight of Sumatran Tigers. They are critically endangered and we wanted to educate people so this beautiful animal doesn’t become extinct. We worked in pairs thinking about the ‘voice’ of the tiger and then created powerful questions based upon their threats.

Christmas Carols at Waitrose (Y3), by Miss Jones
Date: 9th Dec 2016 @ 2:00pm
On Friday 9th December, the Year 3 children walked to Waitrose and bravely performed some of their favourite Christmas songs. The sung beautifully to the big audience who had gathered inside the store. They performed for an hour and then had a little snack at the juice bar. Mrs Davies and Miss Jones were very impressed with the children's behaviour when walking along the canal and when inside the store. They really were a credit to the school.
Thank you to Jude's mum, Vinny's mum, Amelia's mum and Erin's mum for helping us. Also, a very special thanks must go to Mrs Davies who has helped the children perfect their performance every Wednesday over the past few weeks.
Miss Jones.
The Christmas Story, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 8th Dec 2016 @ 2:22pm
Year 1 finally cracked the code yesterday and found out those cheeky reindeers have been trying to learn the Christmas Story by watching our nativity play. This afternoon, year 1 have been working in groups to re-tell the story to each other. I wonder whether they can tell you the story at home?
Year 4 - Animals in Captivity, by Mrs Hover
Date: 7th Dec 2016 @ 8:38pm
In Literacy, we read the poem ‘My Mother Saw a Dancing Bear’ by Charles Causley. Then, we used noun phrases, expanded noun phrases and powerful verbs to describe the life of a dancing bear and the life of a bear living in its natural habitat (David Attenborough film clip). Finally, we wrote from the viewpoint of the ‘dancing bear’.
Y2 Fire Station & Candle Factory Visit, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 6th Dec 2016 @ 6:52pm
We had such a fabulous time on our school trip today!
First we went to Chester Fire Station where the firefighters made us very welcome. We watched a drill, had a squirt of the hoses, explored the fire engines and even watched the firefighters rescue somebody who was trapped in a car!
We learnt all about the role of a firefighter and the equipment that they use now compared to life in 1666 when firefighters were fighting the Great Fire of London.
We spent a wonderful time at the Cheshire workshops making candles and candle holders.
Thank you to all the staff at the Fire station and Cheshire workshops, to the school staff and to Mrs Stuart, who all helped us to have a brilliant time :)

The children worked really hard this week to earn their golden time on Friday. There were lots of fun activities happening. The children were drawing, making friendship bracelets, building Lego models and even pretending to be Miss Jones, recreating this week's maths lessons!
Year 4 Drama, by Mrs Hover
Date: 25th Nov 2016 @ 8:30pm
WALT use drama to explore animal extinction and animals living in captivity
Today we moved on to look at animals because animals were traditionally used in circuses. In an exciting drama lesson with Mrs Baillie, we explored the movement and posture of different jungle animals creating ‘The Futuristic Museum of Extinct Animals’. Next, we created ‘The Live Jungle’ soundscape where we started off as trees and then some children changed into animals, whilst other children became poachers. Canes were used by the poachers to create a cage and the trapped animals were given ‘human voices’ to describe how they would be feeling.

Year 2 Anti-Bullying Week , by Mrs Harrison
Date: 21st Nov 2016 @ 2:55pm
Last week we did some work on Anti-Bullying week and decided that in Year 2, we would focus on Friendship.
We write some recipes for Friendship Soup using the 'commands' we had been working on in Literacy. We decided on the most important ingredients for a good friendship and put these into our recipe writing. We also made a friendship bracelet for another member of the class.
The children had such wonderful ideas on friendship and we decided that we are all friends and we will all look out for each other :)

Year 1's Delamere Forest Trip, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 16th Nov 2016 @ 3:28pm
Year 1 had a fantastic first school trip at Delamere Forest. In the morning, we used the natural resources around us to create art work. We have some fantastic artists.
After lunch time, Year 1 went for a autumal walk through part of the forest looking at the different nuts, berries and leaves they could find. I wonder whether you can find an acorn, sweet chestnut or hazelnut at home?
