Dragons, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 18th Jul 2019 @ 6:33pm
Wow, what a week we have had so far! The Penguins have been amazing. The theme this week has been Dragons. We have looked at the book, Tell me a dragon. From this we have matched up dragon descriptions, created landscapes for our dragons to live, designed a dragon and started to create a passport for it. We have developed our drawing and colouring techniques by creating design ideas for a dragon's eye. We then made them out of clay - they are fabulous. Next week we aim to paint them, write a dragon story and perform a poem 'The dragon who ate our school'. Keep checking back for more photos as we come,eye our projects. You will be so proud of them, I am.

Skeleton, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 14th Jul 2019 @ 10:43pm
This week we have been learning about our skeletons.
We started off by drawing what we thought our skeleton would look like. We then had a pile of bones to place on our skeleton where we thought they would go. Finally we played a relay game looking at a skeleton with its bones in the right places and then running back to our skeleton and moving 1 bone at a time. We discussed what our bones are like, what their purpose is and raised a few wonder questions.

Visiting Barden, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 14th Jul 2019 @ 10:29am
The Bongos and some of their parents and grandparents had a wonderful time on Friday afternoon visiting Barden Primary School in Burnley.
We left school at 12 o’clock and arrived at our destination at 1 o’clock. The children delivered a joint presentation to our parents and the Barden parents about our work this year and sang two songs beautifully. Adults and children then all joined in an activity to write I am special because ..... on a piece of paper which we turned into a paper chain. It was then time for refreshments a buffet of the most wonderful food prepared by the Barden parents. The afternoon ended with a dance session to Go Noodle which saw all of our adults having a dance.
Thank you everyone for making it such a special afternoon.
