• Year 5 - Dragon Information Text

  Thu 08 Dec 2022

  The children in Year 5 have created their own dragons in preparation for the writing of an information text.

  In this piece of writing, children will describe the appearance and personality of their dragon, as well as providing information on how to care for and train the creature.

  The children have all been inspired to create imaginative and unique dragons, and we cannot wait to read their work.

  

• Year 2 - MAKING!

  Mon 05 Dec 2022 FProbert

  Year 2 have been very busy MAKING many things in class this week!

   

  In DT, they used their designs and started MAKING their glove puppets. The designs for their puppets had to match the criteria for a specific client.  Some clients wanted tigers or princesses, and our designers had to create a puppet that they would love!

  The children have also been very busy MAKING Candy Creatures to sell at the school Christmas Fayre. They used their sewing skills to create amazing snow-people and reindeers. We know they will be a huge success at the fayre.

  In Maths, the children have just started a topic on Shape. Again, they have been very busy MAKING different polygons using lollipop sticks. They created some super 2D shapes clearly showing the vertices and sides.

  The children also had the opportunity to meet and talk to Archer’s grandma in 2MH, who came to share her experiences of visiting Antarctica. She showed us a host pf photos from penguins to walruses. She told the children of her adventures and was able to answer lots of questions too. It was magnificent!

  Next week, on Friday 9^th December, at 2:30pm, it is our Christmas Production, where we hope the children will be MAKING lots of parents and grandparents very happy!

  to all of you who came and support our Winter Fun Night. It was a great turn out and a huge success. We hope you all enjoyed the kids crafts, the hot chocolate, the chocolate tombola and Father Christmas!

   

  Amazing fundraisers like this would not happen without our AMAZING PTFA and a lot of hard work from FANTASTIC school staff. The PTFA did a fantastic job of organising the event and raised in excess of £3,000 for Radipole Primary School.

  We have also started to learn about the 4 times table, and children took part in a range of practical activities to help them to count in 4s. Well for all their hard work.
