We love learning and growing together and would like to share that with you here on our blog.
We hope you enjoy our class blog.
With happy smiles from Amazon Class :)
Following our whole school assembly learning about World Mental Health Day, we explored pages from the book, 'The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse' by Charlie Macksey. We then talked about ways to remind others that they are wonderful and loved, just like this book does, so we decided to make mini happiness cards and distribute them to everyone in our school.
The children created some beautiful messages to support kindness and wellbeing.
A new castle has appeared in the small village of Stanton St Quintin and we have proudly named it 'Amazon Castle'!
Over the past few weeks, Amazon Class have been enjoying their topic, 'Castles, Knights and Dragons'. We've been learning about the different ideas about dragons in different parts of the world. In art, we designed our own dragon eyes and sculpted these using clay, based on the book 'The Dragn Machine' by Helen Ward.
We are so proud of the outcomes!
In Amazon Class, we've been having lots of fun learning about Motte and Bailey castles from the Medieval Times, working together to make our very own Motte and Bailey castles. The children thought carefully about how to make the motte to keep the castle safe, high up on a mound, and how to construct the high fence around the bailey. I was so impressed with their teamwork, but also the super castles constructed!
Welcome back to the start of the new school year and what a super first day Amazon Class have had!
Look at all these happy first day smiles! It has been so lovely to welcome the children back to school, and they have all made us so proud with their excitement and enthusiasm for the new school year.
Well done Amazon Class :)
Today in Amazon Class we took our computing lesson to the library, where we used programming and debugging to introduce the Beebots to the library. The children worked in groups to programme their Beebots around obstacles in the library, showing determination, perseverance and lots of problem solving skills
