At the start of this half term, 2JC pupils decided to start blogging for themselves. They were really careful to be specific, clear, informative and engaging about the things they've been doing:

This week was our first week back after 2 weeks holiday! This week we are learning about Remembrance Day and why we take part in Remembrance services each year. We are trying our hardest to learn the National Anthem as Year 2 will be taking part in the Remembrance Service at the Memorial outside the school building on Friday 11th November. We will take part alongside Year 6 and The Royal British Legion. Parents and Carers can join us from 10:45 around the memorial. 

​On Thursday, we held the second of this year’s MAT parent/carer/pupil workshops. These workshops are designed to help us work together to support the needs of pupils who are either already working beyond or showing potential to achieve at a level that goes beyond what is expected for children of their age, across the curriculum.
Amongst other things, we reviewed what it means to be working at ‘Greater Depth’, how to encourage children to love learning for the sake of learning, and the importance of developing resilience in facing challenges.
Children had a great time as they joined their parents and carers to try out a range of new problem solving and strategy games and puzzles that the school recently invested in. It’s fair to say that parents and carers enjoyed themselves too!

Feedback from these sessions has been extremely positive. Following on from the success of last year’s MAT Parent/Carer meetings, this year we have so far held workshops for families of pupils in Reception and Years 1, 2 and 6. Look out for an invitation to one of the forthcoming workshops for Years 3, 4 and 5.
​
Also, please remember, if there is an area in which you feel your child is achieving at an advanced level for their age group – perhaps in an activity that they take part in outside of school – do let us know. We are keen to work together to help every child achieve their best.

In English last week, Year Six analysed several wartime poems from both WWI and WWII and we drew inspiration from them to create our own wartime poems. ​

Each class presented a performance based on wartime; all three classes had been working hard to recreate an aspect from WWI. In 6VP they learnt the wartime song ‘Au revoir but Not Goodbye Soldier Boy’ which they harmoniously performed to parents and carers. 6KC had been learning about different games which children would have played during the early 1900s; the children incorporated their own actions to enhance their performances. 6CP worked hard on their performance poetry; these poems were ones that were either written during or inspired by war. Small groups shared their interpretations of these poems with parents and carers who attended the Remembrance service.
