This afternoon, Class 4 made coil points. They wedged the clay, before rolling the base and using a tool to cut the slab to the correct dimensions. After making coils, they scored the edges and used slip to fix these in place. They ensured the coils were blended together to avoid cracking in the drying process, before smoothing with a sponge ready for decorating after half term.
A team from Dudley House School played badminton alongside other schools in Grantham tonight. They polished up their skills in a range of activities designed to improve them. Well done team for doing brilliantly. Thank you for Inspire + Ambassadors for organising a good fun event.
Congratulations to the children who were in the Golden Book today. Our child from class 1 worked very hard in phonics last week and had created some amazing Brain builder homework on giants. The child from class 2 put in super effort and achievement in her maths lessons last week. One of the children from class 3 had been creative with his writing of a Roman myth narrative and the other child had shown good concentration in his independent maths work. Finally, the child from class 4 had chosen to do extra homework relating to her topic in history.
During Class 4’s assembly this morning, the class shared what they had learnt about growth mindsets as well as other aspects of what they had studied this term. They explained how living things are classified, tested the school’s knowledge of bird names using pictures of birds they had taken during the Schools Big Bird Watch, showed water colours they had painted linked to their Mayan topic, and shared what they had learnt about the Lord’s Prayer. A very informative assembly that children, parents and friends of the school enjoyed.
The children finished by singing a version of The Lord’s Prayer by Bethany Lizama, the children’s pastor at Eastern Assembly of God in Baltimore.
Well done to all the children in today’s Golden Book assembly. The children from class 3 were rewarded for their excellent descriptive writing about the Chinese Emperor, and the children from class 4 were rewarded for their enthusiasm in science.
Congratulations also to the children who received certificates in today’s Golden Book assembly.
Class 1 and 2 have been learning about Chinese New Year. We had great fun trying Chinese food, using chop sticks and making lanterns and masks. This year is the Year of the Rooster and we practised ordinal numbers as we heard the Animal Race Chinese New Year story.
Look at our smart Inspire+ Bronze Ambassadors after attending their second meeting. Their role is to promote and complete the legacy challenge, encouraging healthy lifestyles and active bodies. The children will be planning a Legacy Tour assembly and promoting the Legacy challenge after Easter.
Year 2 joined Miss White for their sculpture lesson. After creating a wire frame, last week they then used Modroc to create a model pirate. Today, they used paint to add colour to their creations.
