Today, we celebrated our wonderful writers in our half termly assembly. It was lovely to recognise the efforts of our children. Well done all!

3HW have begun their new writing unit on Aesop's Fables. Today we looked at some of the features that fables have and found out who Aesop was. Aesop was an ancient Greek storyteller born around 620 BC and was a slave. He collected stories of animals acting as people. The stories, or fables, have lessons, or morals, and were retold to children during Aesop's life and to people in every generation since. 3HW began to look at one of his fables, 'The Lion and the Mouse'.

Year 3 had a wonderful time in the Planetarium learning all about light. We really enjoyed seeing how white light can reflect lots of different colours.

Year 3 are thoroughly enjoying their forest school sessions! Whatever the weather, the children are out there, climbing, swinging, building dens, reenacting scenes from the Stone Age, making sculptures and experiencing our wonderful forest area!

3HW started a new text yesterday, 'The Hodgeheg' by Dick King-Smith. We had great fun exploring our newly decorated corridor which was themed to match our new text. We used our observations to predict what the book could be about. We read Chapter 1 and met the main characters and discussed the vocabularywe found. We cannot wait to read more.

Congratulations to the LKS2 winner of the Guess the Name of the Gingerbread Man competition!

Well done to all of our wonderful writers (masquerading as elves!) for this half term. They all received a special certificate and personalised, golden pencil. We’re proud of their efforts and all of our wonderful writers.

Choir attended Sing4Xmas this week - a city event held by Wolverhampton Music Services at St John's Church in Wolverhampton. They joined with a number of schools to sing many festive songs and even performed their own piece in front of a large audience. Many of our children and staff got to perform in some of the songs with other children and teachers, and great fun was had by all. This was a super way to end a very busy month of spreading Christmas cheer out and about in our

Year 3 and 4 hosted their fabulous Christmas Carol concert last week and it certainly got everyone in the festive spirit! They worked very hard learning their lines and songs - it was a wonderful event!

3HW have been very busy over the last few days making different Christmas Craft items ready to bring home and share with their families. We have also had fun each day finding out what our naughty Elf 'Eric' has been up to.

Well done to our KS2 choir who performed at New Cross Hospital. You are doing an amazing job at spreading the festive cheer!

Year 3 had great fun this week in our forest! Some were reenacting the adventures of Harriet Tubman, some were playing Stone Age, making shelters, hunting animals and setting up camps. Others were testing their climbing skills on the different equipment, making dens and having a relax in the hammocks! Some children were even using camouflage to hide from their friends! It was wonderful to get outside and enjoy our fantastic forest area!
