Waterfoot Primary School

WELCOME TO SYCAMORE CLASS

We have been looking at the digestive system and how food travels through our body. We use food and different materials of the digestive system to visual see what happens.

What a ROCKING Day we had! We came to school dressed as rockstars and robots and completed a range of number-based activities. We had lots of fun!

On Tuesday 12th November we wore odd socks to school to celebrate anti-bullying week. We wore odd socks as it gave us the opportunity to encourage people to express ourselves and celebrate our individuality and what makes us all unique. We then participated in a range of activities linking to this year’s theme of ‘respect’.

On Monday 4th November, we kicked off our new History unit, the Plague. We had a full day of learning plague themed activities. We made Plague doctor masks, posies to protect us from the ‘bad air’ and learnt the rhymes and songs. We had a fantastic day!

On Friday 1st November, we celebrated the festival Diwali. We learnt all about the festival of light, made wonderful firework crafts, listened to Diwali music, and did some henna art on our hands. It was lots of fun!

Our school value for this half term is kindness. We wrote secret kindness cards to give to someone else in the class. It was lovely to see how we had all recognised how kind we are in different ways.

During October we have been celebrating Black History Month to recognise the contributions and achievements of Black people, and to challenge racism and discrimination.

We had a lovely day celebrating ‘National Poetry Day’. We did some collaborative learning and created some verses as a class, before heading off into small groups to create our own verses. We then put them together to create a wonderful poem. Take a look at our work below.
