• Allan the Alien

  Tue 11 Feb 2014

  Extra Terrestrial Communications with ‘Allan the Alien’!

  Year 2 extend Langold Dyscarr’s ‘Hand of Friendship’ across space.

  Year 2 have had a magical ‘out-of-this-world’ experience this week! Firstly they discovered that the evil Voldermort had stolen their Spell Book. However, their friendly alien pen-pal, Allan, has paid them a secret visit and is trying to help them.  In return Year 2 have tried to teach Allan how to make a sandwich.  Alexis  telephoned  him with the  instructions, using imperative verbs and time connectives, on how to make a sandwich.  The telephone line connection was remarkably clear! Allan said he would  go back to Zogg and follow the very clear instructions on how to make a sandwich.  However, he said he did not like coleslaw and would not include it in his sandwich.  Did you know aliens don’t like coleslaw?                                                                                                                             Year 2 have been so inspired to talk and write about their telephone call to Allan and are producing some fantastic work.  Watch this space for more news from ‘Allan the Alien’.

   

   

   

  

• European Day of Languages

  Mon 10 Feb 2014

                                                                                                

                                                                                                              

  Our children were able to tour Europe and sample a variety of cultures and languages, including British Sign Language.  The activities inspired the use of many skills — language learning (listening, speaking and observing), problem solving, physical dexterity, team work, communication skills, artistic creativity, food sampling and evaluation, reporting back to peers and broadening cultural awareness. WOW! What a lot to pack into a day.  Thanks too, to Lisa, our cook, who served up a delicious Italian menu!                                                                                                                                                                     The children were split into mixed age groups and their behaviour was impeccable! We are so proud of all you achieved. Well done to everyone and thank you to all the staff who helped make the day so special and enjoyable! You are welcome to come and see the European Day of Languages display to see photos and examples of what the children made.                                                                                                                            Don’t forget to complete your European Day of Languages Passport and enter it for the prize        competition!

  F2 made Gelato a la vaniglia e lamponi - buonissimo! They also sampled the deliziosa Pizza ai funghi from the ‘Pizzeria Perkins’ !
