Goldilocks and the 3 Bears Inspires FSU

Sun 05 Oct 2014

Year 2 had a ‘wild’ time at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park. The park covers 70 acres of land and we tried our best to visit all the different areas. We visited the different continents and the talk we had in the classroom reinforced our school work on continents and habitats. During the classroom activity we were able to examine some animal objects, including a ‘smelly’ camel skin, a replica bear skull and some animal horns. We were also able to hold a giant African land snail and a bearded lizard! Being up close to the animals was very special. Victor, the polar bear, put on a very amusing show for us—he played with a big blue barrel and then walked around with it on his head; we all thought this was very funny! The visit has inspired Year 2 to write some super recounts.

European Day of Languages 2014

Our children were able to tour, not only Europe, but other parts of the World and sample a variety of languages and cultures, including British Sign Language and the mediums of dance and music. The activities relied on the use of many skills - language learning (listening, speaking, reading and comparing), problem solving, physical dexterity, team work, communication skills, artistic creativity, food sampling and evaluation, ICT skills and broadening cultural awareness. WOW - we certainly packed a lot into the day! Thanks too, to Lisa, our cook, who served up a delicious cosmopolitan menu.

The children were split into mixed age groups - they were able to sample at least 6 different activities. Their behaviour was fantastic and we are so proud of all that they achieved on the day. Well done to everyone and thank you to all the staff who helped make the day so special and enjoyable. We will be displaying some of the children’s work - please come and have a look !
