Year 1 – NO Pen Day!

Year 1 were shocked and excited to see that all the pencils and pens were taped off this morning as it was NO Pen Day!

The children enjoyed the day doing lots of speaking and listening and creative activities. In English they did ‘talk for writing’ where they shared their sentences with each other so that they can write their Bowker Vale leaflets next week. They enjoyed a lesson full of measure activities in Maths. They also enjoyed learning about Animals Including Humans in our new Science topic where we did talk circles and sorting activities.

Future Poets!

Year 6 have been working hard all week on their World War One inspired poetry. We wrote our stanzas on strips of paper and mixed up our classes for a feedback session. We will be redrafting our poems after the half term break in preparation to share them in our class assembly and at the Blackley Forest Remembrance Service on 11.11.23.

War Horse

Year 6 are loving their first class text of the year: War Horse by Michael Morpurgo. These children did a brilliant job of sequencing the story so far. We wonder what will happen to Joey now that Captain Nicholls is gone? Will Albert join the war effort? We can’t wait to read on and find out!
