Hazel have had a brilliant week exploring all the magic of Roald Dahl’s stories.
Today we finished with an adventure to Willy Wonka’s factory.
We created our own Wonka bars and designed our own wrappers. Hazel class were brilliant at remembering to wash their hands and keep their work space and equipment clean.
We then ended the day with a tea party to celebrate Roald Dahl’s birthday.. Oh and not to forget Miss Robson’s.
Have a lovely weekend!
Rights 13 – (I have the right to share information)
On return to school 8O, with Miss Oliver and support staff, started to create a wonderful heart shaped rainbow to demonstrate and express how the Covid19 lockdown affected them. The pupils shared information on what it was they enjoyed the most from being at home or even when they returned to school. During this they used the skills of colour alterations and Publisher to change the effects of the picture. The project is based around
“It’s not about waiting for a storm to pass it’s about learning how to dance in the rain!”
Hazel class have enjoyed a week of Roald Dahl fun.
We learnt about the different stories and characters in them.
Each day we completed different activities relating to a character. Our favourite stories were ‘George’s Marvellous Medicine’ and ‘The Enormous crocodile’.
We made fizzing medicine in science.
Mrs Convery really didn’t want to drink the medicine.
Then edible potions in cookery.
We enjoyed eating the potions after to see what happened. One pupil turned into a sheep and started to baa.
We also stopped the enormous crocodile from eating the farm animals by spelling the word before the crocodile went snap.
“Come with us and you’ll see a world of pure imagination”
Keep a look out for tomorrows adventure, I wonder if anyone can find a golden ticket?

Good Afternoon
This week all students will be issued with a new Office365 account which replaces the accounts the students had before September 2020.
All Secondary students will be shown how to access their email and the TEAMS app in their Computing lessons, which will support learning from home.
Primary students accounts will be forwarded to parents/carers to allow access to TEAMS for home learning.
Going forward TEAMS will continue to be the platform we use to provide work for students at home should they need it.
If you have any questions please contact your childs’ pastoral teacher.
Hazel class had their first piece of homework at the weekend, where they had to find photographs of different things they had enjoyed playing and learning during lock down. (Article 13: I have the right to find out and share information)
On Monday we spoke about why we were off school, what lock down meant and they things we had to do to keep ourselves and others safe. Hazel pupils talked about making rainbows and clapping to say thank you every week.
We then went on to talk about all the positives to come out of lock down. Such as going on lots of walks with our families.
We shared all of our photographs of the different things we had learnt and enjoyed doing, before making a display to remember all of the fun we had.

The PSHE curriculum has been adapted post Covid and today, Y10 students explored their journey of emotions pre, post and during lockdown and the positive and negative effect the pandemic has had on their mental health and well-being. They also recognised the positive coping strategies they employed during lockdown to help them cope – excellent work Y10, you were very mature in sharing your feelings and listening to others.
Beech class have settled down really well to being back at school after 6 months away.
We have been discussing what it was like to be at home during Lockdown and exploring changes to the class and school and changes to the way we work. We have discussed our feelings about coming back – generally very positive feelings
It has been great to return to learning!
We will be doing extra sensory activities during the next few weeks and learning about mental health and how best to look after ourselves.
