6 Green had an eventful World Book Day, listening to parts of George’s Marvellous Medicine, before exploring the character of Grandma. They were also introduced to our new class text, Escape From Pompeii, where they created their own blurbs. During the morning, also they listened to our fabulous guest author, Jen Carney! Finally, in the afternoon, they used Play Doh to model scenes and characters from their favourite books. There were some great models with such a wonderful, diverse range of stories. We had a lovely day!

Today’s Commando Joe’s session involved a lot of team work and a little ‘guile’, using tactics to successfully steal cones from opposing teams without being caught. It was cold, but the children were excellent! Well done!

This week, the children in 6 Green have been learning about Healthy Minds. They have discussed what is meant by a ‘healthy mind’ and ways in which we can try to achieve this. They also explored ‘personality islands’, looking at how our life experiences and emotions link together to help form aspects of our overall personalities. Finally, they looked at self-worth and belief, identifying their strengths and things that they would like to further develop about themselves.
