Statement of the Week I co-operate with others in work and play

23 February 2018

Chocolate Playdough making in Miss Auton’s Class Year 2/3 made a stunning start to their topic this week, making their own chocolate using playdough. Children made the playdough as a class, using cocoa powder to achieve the delicious chocolate smell before choosing be-tween strawberry, lemon, or-ange, peppermint or vanilla extract to flavour their own chocolate creation. Once designed and shaped, chil-dren then wrote a persua-sive advert for their choco-late, convincing people to buy their product.

Dress up for World Book Day – 1st March

Get ready for World Book Day, when children are invited to dress as a ‘ comic book superhero’ of their own invention. There’s no need to spend a fortune – think about the superpowers you’d like and get creative during the half-term holiday. X-ray vision? Make pretend glasses from cardboard! The power to fly? Grab some ma-terial for a cape! Got a superhero name? Put your initials onto your chest! We’re promoting the fact that children can enjoy reading that comes in all different styles – and that includes comics and magazines too. On the day we’ll be enjoying lots of fun activities, such as making comics, designing superheroes, and coming up with action-packed language for our stories!

St Augustine’s United Year 5/6 are learning how we are ‘united’ by our faith – and have produced some eye-catching artwork to illustrate it. These colourful stained glass windows are on display outside our classroom, and the collage of portraits in the shape of the cross is in our prayer area.

Spellings are rewarding! Courtney scored an amazing 90 out of 100 in this week’s ‘Immense Spelling Test’, which com-prised the Y5/6 tricky words. She’ll now have 90 tickets to put into the class’s Easter Prize Raffle, giving her a great chance of winning. In fact, thanks to their amazing maths skills, the class will also be working out the odds of each of them winning the top prize! Courtney Tilley with the tricky words she spelled

Swinging into action with WWII dance steps

World War II will be re-enacted through dance by Year 5/6 this term. On Thursday afternoons they’ll be learning how to Charleston, Swing and other 1940s favourites – so make sure they teach you the moves at home too! Here are Y5/6 pupils warming up with some soldier moves

The Elephants had a fantastic time making an elephant dur-ing their felt workshop and
