Children's Mental Health Week

We had a busy week exploring this year's theme 'Healthy: Inside and Out.' Mrs Gent kicked off the week with an assembly to the whole school, making us think about what makes us healthy and telling us that being healthy isn't just about looking after our bodies but it's about looking after our minds too.

Back in our class, we had a great time sharing our Show and Tell with our friends. Thank you so much for helping us at home by completing the Show and Tell information sheets and for all of the generous donations too.

Lastly, we all took part in a poster competition. We had to design a poster about something we had learned during Children's Mental Health Week. On Thursday, we will find out who was the winner and runner-up in our class so watch this space...

100% Attendance

As a reward for achieving 100% attendance for a whole week, 1GH will be able to come to school in non-uniform on Wednesday 28th November 2018.  Well done 1GH!   Please remember the children will still need sensible shoes and warm clothes for playtimes.

Winter Morning By Ogden Nash

Today we started learning this poem ahead of our poetry recital at the end of this half term. If you have mislaid the paper copy, here it is for you to enjoy performing at home. There is also an option for children to learn their own poem and recite it in front of the other classes (Reception, Year 1 and Year 2) if they would like to.  Winter is the king of showmen, Turning tree stumps into snow men And houses into birthday cakes And spreading sugar over lakes. Smooth and clean and frosty white, The world looks good enough to bite. That's the season to be young, Catching snowflakes on your tongue! Snow is snowy when it's snowing. I'm sorry it's slushy when it’s going.

What a giggle!

We looked at James Carter's website as a class and had great fun reading through and performing lots of his poems. We really liked the poems that are written in the shape of what the poem is about like this football one. What Can You Do With A Football ? Well... You can kick it you can catch it you can bounce it – all around. You can grab it you can pat it you can roll it – on the ground. You can throw it you can head it you can hit it – with a bat. You can biff it you can boot it you can spin it you can shoot it you can drop it you can stop it – just like that!
