Today’s pastoral history lesson was taught by Mr Swann who prepared a PowerPoint, created a worksheet and brought in some artefacts to show us.

One of our students has applied to college to be a teaching assistant and asked if he could try teaching the maths lesson today. He taught the lesson, marked the work and awarded Dojo points.  Mr Vernon had better watch out; Mr Telford is after his job!

We decorated our classroom tree last week. We had lots of fun decorating the tree!

All the Beech children worked really hard to produce this amazing artwork in the style of Margaret Godfrey (linked to our volcano and earthquakes topic).

It will be lovely when it is on display in school for all to see and admire!

In Maple we have been doing lots of different things in PE.

We have been looking at our morning routines, practicing them with lots of different actions.

Look at everyone getting dressed. This was our warm up.

We have also been practicing our catching skills. We have been throwing bean bags up into the air and catching them.

Everyone was great at catching! We then got a ball and practiced kicking the ball in a straight line, we got lots of goals.

Look at how amazing these stretches are.

We have been playing lots of different games which helps us follow instructions.

Well Done to everyone who played a part in our Bake Sale last week – we raised an amazing £304.25 for Norah’s North Pole!

During Duke of Edinburgh, both Year 11 classes took part in some team building activities. After being split into groups of 4/5, the teams then had to work out how to get from one side of the sports hall to the other, using only 2 mats and without touching the ground. Students worked as a team, used communication skills and initiative to complete the tasks and were all fantastic. The winning team managed to score some extra Dojo points too! Thank you for a brilliant afternoon, Year 11!
