Evangeline and Tallulah designed a rainbow with Lulah completing a creative writing piece for the rainbow trail competitions. Both girls have been chosen and they have their rainbows on display in the common along with Tallulah's creative writing. The girls are very proud to be part of the trail and we are proud of them too.

This is a keepsake to remind them of lockdown which we have kept along with our letter from Boris Johnson 
We have incorporated the rainbow on it to remind us of the NHS

The method to make this was 

500g plain flour

250g salt

250g water

We mixed to form the dough, extra flour required so it doesn’t stick to the surface 

We made our plaque Shape then did handprints

This was then baked in the oven on the lowest setting for approx 4-5 hours. 

Joanna did the national oak academy yr2 lessons on space (highly recommend!) and learnt the order of the planets and a fact about each planet complete with actions! 

 

She also wrote this brilliant mixed up fairytale from the English videos (we spent a while this week thinking about exciting adjectives):

We made planet/moon/star cookies:

The Domino family live in a cardboard pizza box on top of the kitchen cupboards. The funny thing about that is, their favourite food is also pizza. The box is held open buy two kabab skewers which are decorated with red and blue sparkly tinsel. There is brown string tied across the two polls, which hangs across the middle of the ceiling. Hanging from the string is a yellow ribbon that has a lolly stick attached at both ends to make a swing. They have a chest of draws made from a match box that has a screw to open and close it. This is used to store their tissues. They need a lot of tissues as it is very dusty on top of the kitchen cupboards, and they are always sneezing. They have a sofa made out of a darts case and 2 washing up sponges cut in half. One pink, one blue. There are three bunk beds made from three toilet rolls with a napkin wrapped around it and napkin blankets. There is a coffee table made out of a Cellotape roll, with a playing card on top. They use 2 brass radiator end caps as bowls. There is a candle on top of the chest of draws. Which they use for heat. To light the room they use a car light bulb attached to a battery using speaker wire.

Ayana in year 4. The Borrowers project was so much fun, creativity and imagination! She made the crayons from tooth sticks. This is how she describes the Borrowers' house: "The symmetrical cardboard shelves for the food are really nice. My small toy chicken was very useful for the little Borrowers to support the shelves. They had a brilliant idea when they thought to use my mother's round powder box as a table for reading and colouring. They used two square sponges from my sister's earrings boxes to sit on. Comfortable chairs, don't you think? They even 'borrowed' my red velvet jewellery box to keep cookies in it. They found two beaded coasters handmade by my grandma and they used them as luxurious carpets. They are very sneaky. Be careful not to have on these families in your house, otherwise, bye bye stuff! 😉 So, as I was saying, they took most of my toys, even one of my favourite Lego mixes only to use it as their table! Check all corners around your house, don't let them trick you!"

We love hearing her teacher over the phone and talking about lessons and how Ayana spends her time every week. We are also delighted to hear familiar voices during the lessons- her current teacher Miss Dear and her former teachers from Bitterne Park Primary School Miss Pellow and Mr Quill. Ayana was thrilled to take part in the Maths competition as well! Thank you for the hard work, you have done an amazing job keeping the children connected with the learning process and helping them have a schedule to hold on to and progress in these uncertain times. You have been very professional and kept the children's best interest at heart.

Thank you again!
