Today is the beginning of anti-bullying awareness week. We joined in the BBC live lesson, we drew around our hands and wrote down the people we felt we could talk to if we were to experience bullying. #oddsocks @MD_PSHE @MD_headteacher

In science we have been learning about our senses. We then explored the five senses using lemon, lime, chocolate and spinach. HS “The lemon makes a noise when you squeeze it!” @MD_headteacher #MDScience

After our first full day of competition, it's very close in KS1 but Class 5 have taken an early lead in the KS2 competition.

We have already seen super participation across school, remember the more you Use TT Rockstars the more you will help your team.

We had a wonderful visit to Ackworth Community Library. The children’s behaviour was outstanding. We listened to Debbie the librarian about the different areas of the library and we found a book we’d like to read and one we already have read and enjoyed.@MD_headteacher #MDReading

All of our learners from Years 1-6 should have brought home today a TT Rockstars logon
These should now all work and everyone should be in the correct year
TT Rockstar works on a wide range of devices including phone so pleas use this to get practicing those multiplication facts

Today in maths we have introduced ones and tens. We used straws to bundle ten together. We do need to practise counting in tens to help us identify the tens in a number. @MD_headteacher #MDMaths @MathsWaterton

[Team One @MD_Class1]

We are using our skills from last week to create our own stories about the King from our class book. Yesterday we created a story map with some ideas for the beginning, middle and end of our stories. Today we have started to write them! @MD_headteacher #MDWriting

[Team One @MD_Class1]

Come on Class One! With your wonderful imaginations and all our Great British Playdough fun last year in Reception I’m sure you could create a spooktacular entry! @MD_headteacher

This afternoon we have been developing our balancing skills with some yoga. The poses we have tried really have made us think about how many balance points we have when doing them. Have you tried the caterpillar pose? @MD_headteacher #MDPE

[Team One @MD_Class1]

If anyone has any old newspapers or magazines they no longer need, Class 1 would be very grateful. This will help us complete our portrait collages in a couple of weeks.

Thank you in advance! @MillDamSchool

[Team One @MD_Class1]

Here are some of the words we came up with to describe the King in our story book “Don’t Read This Book” by Jill Lewis and Deborah AllWright. @MD_headteacher #MDWriting #MDPhonics

[Team One @MD_Class1]

As part of our art curriculum this half term we are learning about portraits. Today we looked at Paul Klee’s artwork and we created backgrounds using watercolours. Next week we will be adding line drawings of ourselves or someone important to us. #MDArt @MD_headteacher

[Team One @MD_Class1]

In science we are learning about the body, yesterday we were investigating whether people with big feet would need big gloves. We drew round our hands and feet and measured them using a ruler. We discovered everyone had different sized feet and hands! #MDScience @MD_headteacher

[Mr W, Primary Teacher & Stranded Timelord @K9_is_my_puppy]

Our fantastic new @MD_Class1 learners will embark on their new learning theme 'Ourselves' next week. They will be getting to know all about themselves and each other.
