Living and Learning: JLT!
Speeches have been delivered. Candidates have been questioned. Votes have been cast. Exit polls suggest a close race. Results will be announced after lunch!
A massive well done to everyone who took a safe risk and put themselves forward as a candidate. We really enjoyed and were really impressed by your speeches. A lot of time and thought went into them. I’m sure whoever’s elected in Year 4 will do a great job!
Yorkshire Dance virtual dance workshops
Yesterday, all classes took part in dance workshops, led by dance artist Ellen, as part of the Yorkshire Dance RE:FRESH dance festival.
From Reception to Year 6, all the children copied, explored and performed different dance moves in their workshops.
While we can’t have visitors in school at the moment, this was a great virtual project we could get involved with.
Here are some comments from the Year 1 children.
I loved it because of all the moves we did.
I loved it because I like all the animals.
I liked to see you smiling.
It was amazing and you were amazing, Ellen.

DT: designing carnival costumes
In this DT lesson, we’ve gone through some of the stages of the design process.
The class took on the role of carnival costumes designers and split into troupes to design their costumes. First, they had to decide their theme and then do some internet investigation for inspiration.
Next, they made some initial sketches for their carnival king and queen costumes. They had to think about what the costume would look like but also think how the costume would be supported so that it could be moved without collapsing.
After that, they reflected on their sketches with their troupe and made some tweaks before colouring and annotating the designs.
Finally, the troupes looked at each other’s designs and fed back what they liked about them. They also evaluated their own and fed back on improvements or changes they would make.
Let’s rock for Red Nose Day!
Hello to all of you Times Tables Rock Stars,
This Friday is Red Nose Day and the people at TTRS have come up with a great challenge to raise some extra money.
Prices for a new nose start at 50,000 coins so we’d best get saving.
We’ve got until Friday – Red Nose Day. Let’s do our bit to help the nation reach that £5,000 target.
