• Sponsored Scoot

  Thu 24 Jun 2021

  A massive thank you to all Storyteller parents for your support and donations for our Sponsored Scoot. We raised £137.50!!! We were able to scoot around the playground for an hour, with regular pit stops for water and a rest! We were so proud of the children for their effort and resilience to keep going and try when things get tricky. We have chosen to sponsor an Orca whale named 'Bend' with the Dolphin and Whale Conservation charity (WDC) if you would like to find out more here is the link https://uk.whales.org/. We will be following Bend for the following weeks, creating pictures to send to the charity. Many thanks again for your organisation and donations.

• Victorian Day in Explorers Class

  Mon 29 Mar 2021

  Year One have been exploring what it was like to be at school during Victorian times. The boys and girls have been kept separated sitting in rows. They have written on slates, counted by rote and named the countries of Great Britain. The boys did drill and girls practice deportment. Mrs Bray was very strict and one unlucky child had the “cane!”

• Book Week at North Bradley Primary School

  Mon 08 Mar 2021

  We hope everyone has enjoyed our book week, it has been fantastic seeing the children taking part in a wide range of activities.
  
  Storytellers Class: Storytellers have been busy drawing the front covers of their favourite books for the book hunt,Cleo created the front cover of Woolly the Sheep and put it in her window! Amazing Cleo, so clear and detailed!

  
  Explorers Class: Year One have been discussing their favourite books this week, writing book reviews about them and thinking about questions they would like to ask their authors. They have also watched the illustrator Lydia Monks (who works with Julia Donaldson) model how to draw and then copied illustrations of their favourite characters. They are finishing the week by doing a Book Scavenger Hunt.

   

  Creators Class: This week we found out about lots of the authors behind the World Book Day books and got very creative for World Book Day in Creators Class. We have written stories about the time we saw a dinosaur near our homes, created our own storytelling tins to inspire us to write some very magical stories and made our own storytelling theatres and characters at home.

  
  Adventurers Class: In Adventurers class we have been dino-spotting with the author and illustrator Jonny Duddle. We have made dino-spotting notebooks containing our favourite dinosaurs and have been inspired to write our own dino-spotting stories thinking about how we might travel back in time!

   

  Conquerors Class: In Conquerors class we have made origami bookmarks and created posters to encourage a love of reading.

   

  Pioneers Class: We have been having fun doing the Masked Reader this week. The children have recorded themselves reading a page from their book and the class had to guess who it was.

  
  Innovators Class: Year 6 have been taking part in the Author and Illustrator academies, completing their daily book challenges. We have met some very famous authors including Jeff Kinney – Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Derek Landy – Skulduggery Pleasant. We have also dressed potatoes, carrots, eggs and bananas to look like our favourite book characters and identified as many book characters as we could in MC Grammar’s World Book Day rap.

  Wed 10 Feb 2021

  This week Conquerors class have been working on ways to express themselves. They have all
  drawn squiggle picture art to express how they feel and created origami animals, because being
  creative is an ingredient to having good mental health. As well as this, we have been listening to
  and appraising the song 'Lean on me' by Bill Withers. The children have all started to learn the
  lyrics and understand that we have lots of people around us, including our class mates that we
  can lean on if we need any cheering up or support.

  of different crafts.

  

• National Children's Mental Health Week

  Thu 04 Feb 2021

  It was so lovely to see staff and pupils both online and in school in their wonderful rainbow colours on Wednesday to participate in the National Children’s Mental Health Week.  We hope that you were able to enjoy the ‘Once Piece At A Time’ Challenge, as it is so very important to connect with activities you enjoy, stay as active as possible, and have contact with people who are important to you within COVID restrictions.

  It was great to hear how Year 5 participated in an online ‘Express Yourself’ dance session with Mrs Fox.  There were dancing unicorns, and dancing aliens and everyone had an amazing smile on their face!

  Keep safe and Well,

  Mrs Williams
