Beech Class are doing drama sessions based on evacuees in WWII. They acted out the actions and emotions that children of the time might have experienced. The first session was set in the city where the children in our story lived and their experience of air raids, their father going away to fight and finding out that they were to be evacuated to the countryside. The final scene showed them leaving on the train that took their whole school away from their city.
Recently, Beech Class had the opportunity to have an archery competition in school. Our results will be compared with other schools in the area and we will have to wait to see if we have any winners.
Beech Class all had a fantastic Christmas party with dancing and games such as pass the parcel and the chocolate game, followed by lots of lovely party food.
Beech Class wore their antlers and ran the reindeer dash to raise money for St John’s Hospice.
Everyone in Beech Class worked in pairs to research and present information about Christmas celebrations around the world. We are developing our public speaking and presentation skills using volume, expression and gesture. We found out about 16 countries including: Armenia, Portugal, Columbia, Italy and Germany.
Our PTA movie night was a massive success with so many children joining in. Thank you so much to the PTA and staff who helped with the organisation and running of the event!
Beech Class have been learning about the Mayans and Mexico. They used collage to decorate their Mexican wild animals and birds.
Beech Class learned about the Mexican artist, Frida Kahlo. They created collage backgrounds of jungle scenes. They drew portraits of Frida Kahlo using pencil.
Beech Class made collage portraits of themselves and covered them with acetates with line drawings of their faces.
Beech and Sycamore classes enjoyed their trip to Morecambe Winter Gardens to watch an opera performance for schools. We learnt some Italian musical vocabulary and were amazed by the talent of the singers.
