Happy New Year, by Mr Pearson

Date: 8th Jan 2018 @ 8:19pm

I hope you have had a lovely break and made lasting memories. 

I have attached the outline of this 1/2 terms learning.

For the project it can be anything your child is interested in or linked to the learning that will be taking place over the next 5 weeks. It is very much a science based 1/2 term looking at teeth and the digestive system. All interesting investigations. Any questions please don't hestitate to contact me.

I would just like to say thank you very much for all of the lovely Christmas cards and presents I have received. It is very kind of you all to think of me at this special time of year.

I have had an amazing first term worling in Years 6, 5 and 4. I have never worked in this capacity before and your children have made it one of the most rewarding periods in my teaching career.

At this special time of year I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and wish you well for 2018.

Sing , by Mr Pearson

Date: 16th Nov 2017 @ 9:40am

Solo 1

Some words they can’t be spoken only sung,

So hear a thousand voices shouting love,

  1. 3 choir)

There’s a place, there’s a time, in this life,

When you sing what you are feeling,

Find your feet, stand your ground,

Don’t you see right now the world is listening

To what we say?

 

Sing it louder, sing it clearer

Knowing everyone will hear you

Make some noise

Find your voice tonight

Sing it stronger, sing together

Make this moment last forever

Old and young shouting love tonight.

 

Part 1 Part 2

To sing we’ve had a lifetime to wait, (wait, wait, wait)

And see a thousand faces celebrate

(We have to celebrate)

You brought hope, you brought light,

Conquered fear, no it wasn’t always easy,

Stood your ground, kept your faith,

Don’t you see right now the world is listening

To what we say….

 

 

Sing it louder, sing it clearer

Knowing everyone will hear you

Make some noise

Find your voice tonight

Sing it stronger, sing together

Make this moment last forever

Old and young shouting love tonight.

 

Solo 2

Some words they can’t be spoken only sung

To hear a thousand voices shouting love

(All) AND PEACE AND HOPE!

 

Just sing, just sing, just sing, just sing

Come on and

Sing it louder, sing it clearer

Knowing everyone will hear you

Make some noise

Find your voice tonight

Sing it stronger, sing together

Make this moment last forever

Old and young shouting love tonight.

 

(Solo 1) Hear a thousand voices shouting love.

Friday mindfulness , by Mr Pearson

Date: 20th Oct 2017 @ 11:22am

Today in Mindfulness session we have learnt to consider and focus on our breath.

we have also learnt to finger breath, 

http://blissfulkids.com/mindfulness-for-children-take-five-exercise/

Next we looked at snow dome to explain how our mind can be at times all fizzzy and dizzy and how we can use mindfulness techniques our minds can then settle down

Finally, we looked at weeble wobbles to compare how sometimes in life we may have little things that might make us wobble and we bounce back, then when a big wobble in life might affect us, however like the weeble wobble we will bounce back.

Another good website to look at.

Mindfulness , by Mr Pearson

Date: 13th Oct 2017 @ 11:33am

Today we completed an experiment, the children had a choice of a minstrel chocolate or a blueberry. Two of the minstrels were place in front of the children, the first minstrel the children just consumed straight away.

The second minstrel, the children had to look at it first, turn it over, then smell it, touch their lower lip with it, then place it on their tongue and roll it around their mouth, finally they had to bite it in half and slowly saviour the taste.

The children will be doing this with their food over the next and have encouraged to train their parents.

 

The hippocampus part of our brain were used to take in all of the senses of eating the minstrel.

The hippocampus was then explained to the children as it links our memories together, when we sleep our brain files them away. An amazing lesson from Tanya once again.

Song for the class assembly, by Mr Pearson

Date: 12th Oct 2017 @ 9:56am

Please find below the song for our class assembly next Friday 20th October.

Verse 1

From many sources it’s brought to life,

The result electrifies!

Sent out through cables, to all our homes,

Bringing daily power suppli-i-ies.

Chorus It’s got the power, it’s got the strength.

It’s a current energy!

Let’s get connected, let’s get switched on

To e-lec-tric-i-ty-y-y!

Verse 2

It uses circuits, to make its rounds!

Flows through wires to plugs and more!

We find a socket and turn it on,

Powering gadgets we ad-o-o-ore!

Chorus It’s got the power……

Verse 3

Conductors like it, let it pass through.

Insulators like to block!

Electric power, treat it with care!

Or you’ll get a nasty sho-o-ock!

Chorus It’s got the power……

Repeat E-lec-tric-i-ty-y-y!’

E-lec-tric-i-ty-y-y!’
