@MrHteaching We love Shackleton’s journey! We turn rooms into Antarctica and put the job ‘advert’ on the door to get them talking as they come in. We give out roles from the book to write a letter of application. We turn the room into the boat for role play. Loads of real photos online.
@LeannLynch153 We love Clockwork-it’s only short but the content could be a bit scary for younger children. It’s the sort of book that had your class clamouring for the next chapter!
@LeannLynch153 The Lion Inside or The Koala who Could are great for developing their understanding of overcoming challenges or how they’re feeling inside. But picture books aren’t just for EYFS...!
Well done to all of the children who took part in Rudy’s Run for @StBarnabasLinc this week. Lots of you ran further than you have ever done before and we managed to raise over £600!
A very exciting new box in Y6 today! We’ve started our #raspberrypi learning and connected screens to our own computers. Fascinating to see what goes on inside and we can’t wait for tomorrow!
Thank you to all of you who’ve supported #HelloYellow day to raise money for @YoungMindsUK today. Y6 have had some lovely ideas about how to present their uniqueness through art.
Insoluble? Saturation point? Solution? Irreversible? Molecules? We’ve used of precise scientific vocabulary in our chemistry catch-up today. The Curly Wurly champion managed to stretch it from 5cm to 162cm!
Thank you to Guy @CoramLifeEd for working with us today for a virtual lesson on mental health. We had lots of great ideas about steps we can take to look after ourselves.
@MissBowdenY6 Short stories to inspire them-Clockwork, Robot Girl etc-and then ‘lose’ a chapter at the most exciting part so they have to complete it. Lots of talk for writing but capture vocabulary and sentence ideas so that by the time they write, they can’t fail-they can magpie ideas!
