Celebrate Term 5 learning
Sat 18 Apr 2020Teachers across the school have reported a wonderful start to Term 5 learning. Here are just some of the things the children have created.
Abi's Science - Year 1
Freya's maths - Year 1
Edie & Rory's rap
Evie - Year 5 - Battle of Bosworth Field
Battle of Bosworth recount
As I sharpened my sword and put on my armour I felt hope in me, like I knew we were going to win. But that great feeling soon ended as I stepped onto the brutal battlefield. Sorrow took over my body as I heard the first war cries of the demonic day. Clash went the swords. The lush green grass turned red with allies blood. I could hear the screams of dead wailing around the battle field. It was torture, despair and loss at the same time. The worst possible feeling. I knelt down and cried as i saw Richard III's sword stained with the blood of my friend. Shock rushed through my body as i felt a sword touch my back, my mind raced with thoughts of me dying. I thought it was my end until the sword fell to the ground, I looked behind me and there lay a enemy soldier, dead. His voice shot through my ears like a ghost i couldn't move, focus or talk, I was frozen to the spot, helplessly standing there in the middle of the bloody battlefield. Suddenly soldiers ran away until there was only me and my fellow soldiers. A man walk past me carrying a dead soldier and put him on a mule. We had won.

The Rainbow Children
Tue 07 Apr 2020A poem written by a mother in the North East.
The Rainbow Children
The history books will talk of now,
That time the world stood still.
When every family stayed at home,
Waved out from windowsills-
At those they loved but could not hold,
Because they loved them so.
Yet, whilst they did they noticed all the flowers start to grow.
The sun came out, they can recall,
And windows, rainbows filled.
They kicked a football in their yards,
Until the night drew in.
They walked each day but not too close,
That time the world stood still.
When people walked straight down the roads,
That once the cars did fill.
They saw that people became ill,
They knew the world was scared.
But whilst the world stood still they saw,
How much the whole world cared.
They clapped on Thursdays from their doors,
They cheered for the brave.
For people who would risk their lives,
So others could be saved.
The schools closed down, they missed their friends,They missed their teachers so.
Their Mams and Dads helped with their work,
They helped their minds to grow.
The parents used to worry that,
As schools were put on hold,
Their children wouldn’t have the tools,
They’d need as they grew old.
But history books will talk of them,
Now adults, fully grown.
Those little boys and girls back then,
The ones who stayed at home.
They’ll tell you that they fixed this world,
Of all they would fulfill.
The RAINBOW children building dreams,
They’d dreamed whilst time stood still.

The final celebrations of the term ...
Wed 01 Apr 2020So here are some final pieces of work to share and celebrate.
Ava G's poem
Year R Sydney's Rainbow
Year R Austin's Scavenger Hunt
Elders celebrations are shown below as pictures.
The daffodils reminded me of the poem by Wordsworth and then I reflected on how apt the first few lines of the poem are today:
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;How cheering it is to see these daffodils as we sit in isolation or when we take our daily walk!
