Upper KS2 had a super fun afternoon with our OPAL equipment today. We made trains in our junk yard area, found some interesting rocks in our mud area and practiced our ball skills on the MUGA.
Our theme this half term has been ‘Law and Order’ and we have considered what makes a good leader and why we need leaders. We have learned about the meaning of democracy and identified examples both locally and nationally. We have also explored the importance of rules. At the end of our theme we went Global and learned about pacifism, the belief that conflicts should be settled in a peaceful way. The word (but not the concept) is only a century old, being first used in 1902 at the 10th International Peace Conference. We watched a ‘Peace Day’ video from the International Peace Conference and it inspired us to make our own ‘Peace Day’ video.

We have had great fun today doing all things related to Traditional Tales as part of ‘World Book Day’. We have built beanstalks for Jack, houses for the three pigs, a bridge for the troll and decorated princess carriages. We got to listen to stories in Hansel and Gretel’s cottage and also acted out our favourite stories in the Performance Area. The children have made book marks in class and had a quiz around traditional tales, the competition is unreal. Great fun has been had by all.
Have a look at all the amazing doors created for book week/ day. Well done to all the staff and children for creating an amazing show – making the school look like a living library.
