Rawdon Littlemoor Primary School

Another busy week we have had!

In English, we were able to see the children fabulous acting skills when we acted out the story of Isis and Osiris. In English, we have been practising our noun phrase sentences to add more detail into our writing. 

It has been a busy and exciting day in school today as it was our first Interhouse of the year being football. The children showed super sportsmanship and cheered on their team mates. Overall, the winner was FOUNTAINS! Well done to everyone though as you gave it your all!

Today Christmas came early for us and the children completed their Christmas card design. They will be sent off soon and after the half term you will recieve a form if you would like to purchase anything.

Have a lovely weekend!

What a busy week!

The children have enjoyed being archaeologist this week and visited the tomb to find different artefacts. They crawled through the team with torches to find the artefacts hidden. We then looked at the artefacts and decided what is could be.

In science we continued our experiments with light and dark. The children had to guess what was in the box in darkness. The all was revealed! Egyptian statues.

Next week we have a busy week. Interhouse football will be next Friday and the Maths and English meeting will be next Tuesday at 2.15pm in Peacock class. 

Have a lovely weekend!

We had a wonderful time in our Egyptian workshop on Monday! The children took part in the mummification process and we listened to the story of Isis and Osiris. In English in the next couple of weeks, we will be using this story to help us write character description and our our scene from the story.

In Science we are learning about light and light sources. The children enjoyed our experiment of using torches and different material for light.

Have a great weekend!

We started off the week with a Yorkshire food day, cooking Yorkshire puddings and rhubarb crumble. All the children took part and made delicious food! We then continued our food tasting with sampling a variety of Yorkshire treats - parkin, Pontefract cakes, cheese and Yorkshire mix sweets. 

During our Yorkshire food days, the children designed their own teapot and today we made it out of clay. The children have either adding a clay feature or when we come to paint them next week, paint on their chosen design. 

Thank you to everyone who has brought in materials to make the night light for DT. The plan is to make our night lights next week so there is still time to bring materials in if not done already.

We have been in awe across LKS2 with the incredible projects that the children have brought in this week. We have taken part in quizzes, tasted cake and admired art work. The amount of effort the children have put in and their ability to present the new information to the rest of their classes has been admirable. A big thank you to all of the children as well as parents and guardians for your on going support. 

This morning LKS2 took part in the Be Internet Legends national assembly run by Google.
The focus was on Online Safety and Internet Awareness. 

They took part with great ideas and enthusiasm and we even got a shout out by the hosts for some great answers.
