Yesterday we were very lucky to have a visitor join us called Martin from The Ridgeway Project.
We went on a short walk towards Maiden Castle. On the way, Martin told us some local traditional tales and folk tales/legends surrounding the hill fort. We used our "imagine-eyes" to explore the landscape we could see in front of us. Excitedly hurrying back to school, year 4 could hardly wait to take their coats off before they were grabbing bits of paper to record their ideas! Martin helped us to record our story ideas down as a map. We were so inspired that we have had to squeeze in an extra opportunity to write this week because we were desperate to write our stories!!!!!
#please send your children to school for an extra hour!!!!!!!😉😀
I am thrilled that they are ALL so enthused to write! Well done, I think Martin was impressed by your creativity. He is going to be taking our ideas/stories and writing a story that will be published!
We have also been demonstrating our super reading skills! Every Monday and Wednesday at the end of the day 2 year 4 children are going over to Pre-School to read them their end of the day story. Every child in year 4 will have the opportunity to do this in order to further develop their reading skills and confidence. The Pre-School children were entranced! Well done so far to Oliver, Joe, Ro and William!
We hope your christmas play costumes are coming along nicely - do ask us if you have any queries!
Our DT projects are really taking shape and it has been wonderful to see all the children's own work and how they are supporting each other, learning from each other to develop their skills as well as being resilient when things are challenging. When the decorations are finished we will be putting them on our class christmas tree - they will be able to bring them home for christmas.
A reminder of our trip to Bovington on Monday - please return your slips asap. It IS school uniform!
Keep working on your poetry competition entries too!
Mrs. J and Mrs. Scott
