Assemblies

On Monday we had an assembly about robins because they are very resilient, resourceful, ready and they take risks. We were told to be the robin and do the 5RS.
In assembly on Tuesday everyone was giving examples of how words can hurt someone or compliment someone. Some people stood up and said how they’d been hurt by someone. But then some people said how they’d been complimented by people and really cheered everyone up.

A busy week in Willow Class, by Lucia and Alisa

Assembly: On Monday we had an assembly about robins because they are very resilient, resourceful, ready and they take risks. We were told to be the robin and do the 5RS.
In assembly on Tuesday everyone was giving examples of how words can hurt someone or compliment someone. Some people stood up and said how they’d been hurt by someone. But then some people said how they’d been complimented by people and really cheered everyone up.

Joke of the week: What do you say to a blind dinosaur? Do you think the dino SAUR-US?

A puzzle: Why do you always walk with your RIGHT foot first?   Because when you put 1 foot in front the other ones always LEFT behind.

This week’s star of the week: Olivia because she’s always there for you, because she’s really kind, she always puts a smile on peoples faces and many more.

Lessons: On Monday we had a lesson about gas and we made a gas answer and question sheet with 3 or 2 people on our table. In art we have been making Aztec God's eyes, using a weaving technique and we learned about the ancient city of Tenochtitlan in Mexico.

Writer of the week: William for his wonderfully persuasive letter about banning football and Jack for his disastrous play instructions.

3).Have you enjoyed and learnt everything from this week?
Yes because this week has been a very exciting week, especially in mathematics because we made our own probability shows.

Read Mr. Edwards’ comments, which he had written in my book, and then read my work again to see why he has written it and where he has written it.

Yes because we got to see how other classes act and learn and also I did very fun learning activities with my friends that I usually don’t get to see.
