WILD Curriculum
This week, the Year 3 children had a brilliant time during their latest WILD Curriculum (Forest School) session. They learnt how to use various tools to create and decorate personalised key rings. Additionally, they had a coice of creating bracelets or necklaces from colourful beads and wood stems. The children loved their necklaces so much that they still wore them days after their Forest School session. Well done Year 3.
Well Done to all of our certificate winners this week, you have all worked so hard and the staff are very proud of you all.
Year 4 have enthusiastically begun their new class novel, The Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom by Louis Sachar.
The children have been exploring the main character, Bradley Chalkers, looking closely at his personality, behaviour and actions. They have had thoughtful discussions about first impressions and how Bradley presents himself compared to how he may really be feeling inside.
As part of our work, the children completed a Role on the Wall activity to explore Bradley’s appearance, personality traits and emotions in more depth. They have also been making predictions about upcoming events in the story, using evidence from the text to support their ideas.
To deepen their understanding, the children took part in a hot-seating activity, where they asked and answered questions in role as different characters to explore thoughts and feelings. They also role-played the family dinner scene, carefully considering how Bradley interacts with his family and what this reveals about his character.
