Spring 1- Snow White

 

Welcome to Spring 1 

We will be going swimming every Thursday morning for the next term. Please send in a swimming kit and towel on this day. Thank you. We also have the opportunity to work with a tennis coach on Mondays. 

This half-term our topic is Snow White with the focus on performing arts. We will look at different versions of the story, but our main book will be the book below.  We will be hooked into this topic with a theatre performance. We will share our reviews and opinions later on in the half-term. We also have an exciting hook planned for the classroom.

In English, we will be following our new story map drawn by myself. We'll be looking at the features of fairy tales and writing our own version of Snow White. In PSHE, we will be looking at what makes a good friend, differences and keeping safe. In Science, we will be looking at animals and habitats. All with multisensory activities and cross-curricular links to our topic of Snow White.

Let’s Connect in Robins Class. The task was to create an immersive Snow White experience 🧩 πŸ”
We transformed our class into a forest and created an escape room for the children to complete. We also invited the kitchen staff and some of the guides to join in πŸ” 🌳

We solved the clues to get the combination padlock code. We opened the boxes to find jigsaw pieces of Snow White. The last combination code was on the back of the completed jigsaw which then opened the big box of treats πŸ§©πŸ”

Autumn 2- A Victorian Christmas 

Welcome to Autumn 2. 

We have forest school on a Wednesday. Please send your child in with old clothes and wellingtons. Thank you.

 This half-term our topic is Victorian Christmas. Our book is 'A Christmas Carol' and narrative will be our focus in English lessons. We will be learning all about a Victorian Christmas and the importance of family, friends and the community. We will cover this in our PSHE and topic lessons and this will link excellently to our focus book. 

.

Our hook to the story book..... 

The children have received a letter from the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future, setting them a challenge to make Scrooge laugh. We have been sent a crack the code activity that the children will need to complete and find the answer to the Christmas jokes. We also have ghosts in the classroom using an AR app.

On the last day of term, we had a Victorian Christmas Market. All classes were given £30 for the product.  It was our challenge to make the most profit and we did it ! £134 with a £104 profit.

Joshua was our star seller ! He was a brilliant salesman πŸ‘¨‍πŸ’Ό 🌟He exchanged money and knew  how much change to give everyone.
