Timeline of British History

The children looked at key events in British history and considered when they may have happened. They then worked with a partner to arrange the events on a timeline, looking carefully at the dates.

Spelling – Prefix and Suffix

In Year 5 and Year 6 we have been learning about prefixes and suffixes in our spelling lessons then ensuring we use words containing them in all our writing.

Forest Schools – First Lesson

We all had a warm welcome to this, our first forest school lesson this year. We started with a tennis ball game to enhance our listening skills and discussed the group rules on how to keep ourselves and the environment safe, and how to help ourselves and others achieve.

Our activities included creating a stick journey by winding coloured braids and objects we picked up around a stick and used a sound map to help us pinpoint the sounds we could hear around us.

The Norfolk Broads

Diamond Class are learning about the Norfolk Broads. Today they researched birds of the area. Cora said she has seen a bittern and a kingfisher before. We listened to the boom that a bittern makes on the ‘Norfolk Wildlife Trust‘ website. 

In our ‘Circles’ collective worship, we have been discussing these questions:

Pupil voice from circles collective worship groups

When someone behaves badly, how hard do you try to forgive and forget?

  • Ignore annoying behaviour
  • Accept apologies
  • We try hard
  • Could we get house points for forgiving?
  • It can be hard to forgive and forget
  • If they continue, tell and adult
  • Say sorry, even when you haven’t meant to hurt or upset someone

How does school help you to make positive choices?

  • School makes me happy
  • Teachers help us talk things through
  • Reflection time
  • Teachers check we are happy after a conflict
  • Consequences
  • We are helped to talk to each other
  • Teachers listen
  • Help in lessons
  • Having a break from people helps sometimes

Saint Telemachus

Reverend Andrew visited to lead a collective worship. He told us about the story of Saint Telemachus and we thought about how it is sometimes difficult but always right to stand up for what we believe in.

A great Big Thank You!

We would like to thank Mr and Mrs Thompson from Filby Post Office for their very kind donation of £500 from the proceeds of their Charity Shed for our outdoor play equipment and reflection area. This will really help us to quickly purchase all we need.

Thank you!

 Forest Schools

This week in Forest Schools we continued exploring Ancient Egypt though different activities. We learned how to use a ‘clove hitch’, which is an ancient type of knot, to make our own miniature tripod pyramids. We were given sheets of Egyptian Hieroglyphics so we could work out how to write our own names. We also had one that Stacey had created for us to decipher. We learned how to ‘whittle’ wood into points using a potato peeler. We all listened very carefully to the rules and some of us used them to write our Egyptian name in clay.

Our Crosses

We all chose a place in school that we wanted our crosses to hang. We think they look beautiful and they remind us to think of God whenever we are in school and whatever we are doing.
