WARNING! IMPENDING HOMEWORK ALERT!

For the second Spring half term, the children will be undertaking a project called "Good To Be Me", linked to the SEAL lessons taught in school. We would like the children to 'sell themselves', telling others in whatever format they wish, just how good they are! They could:

• Describe something that they are good at
• Tell others about their personality and give examples
• Sing a song about themselves
• Produce posters - think "Election time"
• Write a rap! [Mrs. Kelly will be performing one herself]
• Draw a picture of themselves doing something they're great at
• Pen a poem about their awesomeness

We are really looking forward to seeing what the children produce. There is no right or wrong way of presenting; just have fun and show us why you are all so great!

Upcoming: GREAT Project

As part of our ongoing SEAL work, after half term, the children will be undertaking a four-week project called the GREAT Project. This will allow children to have a greater understanding of healthy and unhealthy relationships, and promote equal gender respect. Children will also have a greater awareness of domestic violoence and it's effects.

We are really looking forward to this exciting opportunity, and feel sure that the children will benefit from it a great deal!

Top Valley Academy Visits

As part of our Geography topic on rivers, we have been going to Top Valley Academy on Friday mornings in our individual classes to record our very own podcasts!  The children have been using audio recording programmes, microphones and their own scripts to put together two minute performances about the charity Wateraid.  They have been learning about and describing how the charity helps different communitites in many different countries around the world.  They then presented their findings.

Homework Project - Spring Term One

Hello Bloggers!

This half term's homework project is to build a rain catcher at home and use it to measure the amount of rainfall between 11th January and 11th February.  You can build the rain catcher in any way you wish but it remember you have to be able to measure the rainfall in cm.  Your results need recording (at least 10 times) and bringing into school, with your rain catcher if you wish, by 12th February 2013.

Enjoy!
