Describing a setting

This week, Rhino class have looked primarily at character description but finished the week by exploring a setting. To tie in with our class text of Fantastic Mr Fox, the pupils explored a woodland setting in detail.

By imagining themselves in the setting, they constructed phrases using their senses and prepositions to help explain where they could see, hear or smell details.

All this preparation should lead to some excellent descriptive writing next week.

Colour Mixing

Today, pupils in Rhino class learnt about primary colours and how they can be mixed to make other colours. The pupils generated a colour wheel to show the different gradients of colour they created.

KS2 Evening Performance – Thursday 12th December

Please can children be back in school no earlier than 5:15 for the evening performance.

Children will be sent home with their costumes so they can wear them back to school in the evening to minimise the need to change before and after the performance.

The performance will last around an hour so children whose parents are not attending the evening performance will need to be collected by 6:45pm.

Children who are booked in for Maths club after school on Thursday are welcome to stay in school and a member of staff will supervise them. It may be advisable to sent them with a snack.

Roman Mosaics

This week, Rhino class have been designing and making their own Roman Mosaics. Having already mixed their own colours and painted numerous pieces of paper in preparation, the children had to cut out uniform pieces and stick them accurately to reflect their deigns.

Rhino Class put the ‘Power’ into PowerPoint

This week the pupils in Rhino class have be learning how to use PowerPoint to record their learning. They have been learning how to use the programme to showcase what they have learnt about the Romans including details from their recent trip to Chester.

Today we learnt how to:

Open, save, create new slides, alter the theme, import pictures and change font types.

All pupils are excited to continue next week.

Anti-bullying at school

This week the children of the school participated in an interactive Anti-bullying assembly to learn how to combat and spot bullying behaviours both in and out of school.

Following this, pupils from Rhino Class took part in a workshop which included role play and practical activities. The children were awarded certificates for their efforts.

Well done everyone.

Roman Rhinos in Chester

Rhino class had a fantastic day in Chester furthering their studies of the Romans. As well as acquiring new knowledge, they were also able to showcase lots of their learning within sessions. The staff were particularly impressed by how much they have already learnt.

The Behaviour of all children was an absolute credit to the school which made me incredibly proud. Well done Rhino class.
