Badgers are experimenting with printing with bubble wrap to create texture. This will be used in a collaborative piece as part of our work on mosaics and collage. 🎨 🖌️ 🖼️

Badgers are exploring the work of Japanese artist Hokusai, and Hawaiian artist Margaret Godfrey, to gather ideas for representing Mt. Vesuvius as part of our Roman topic.

These Badgers had a great morning, participating in a wheelchair awareness workshop provided by @gokidsgotweets It was harder than it looked, playing tag on wheels! They learnt to do a wheelie to get over door thresholds. 🦽

In today’s Science lesson on ‘Sound’, Badgers’ class made a string telephone to investigate how sounds travel over a longer distance. You could try this experiment at home!

Key Stage 1 are posting off their monster acrostic poems today. Good luck everyone! #publishingwriting #writingforfun

Budding movie makers from Badgers’ class. Stop frame animations linked to our Roman history topic.

Badgers are making stop frame animations linked to their Roman topic. The character is running away from the lava spewing from Mt. Vesuvius in Pompeii.

A bonkers brain break in Badgers! Be glad it’s a photo and not a video! 😂🤣

Badgers are having a great time make stop-frame movies using the iMotion app. Why not download this at home and have a go. 🎥 🎦

This brave Badger is taking one for the team! She volunteered to read a mystery book then report back to the class. I wonder what it’s about? We did the sniff test and it smells like a good one! 👃 📖

We had a music workshop with @musicsquadhq where every child had the opportunity to try out group keyboard lessons. What a fun session! Spot the child who moved in the panoramic photo! 🤣

Badgers came into a darkened classroom, illuminated only by strings of sparkling lights. Sweet floral smells drifted across the room & there was the sound of crickets & running water in the distance. What could all of this be about? More clues about the setting for our writing.

Squirrels have been learning about the dreams and achievements of @maejemison this week and we have written lots of questions in our letters to her. Here are a few examples. Did you see any shooting stars? Was there anything you didn’t like about being in space?

Some more clues for Badgers about their new class text in today’s English lesson. They are trying to work out where the setting could be, the genre of the story and why they have come to these conclusions. All will be revealed tomorrow!

In today’s English lesson, Badgers are exploring settings and trying to decode clues about their new class text. What could it be?

Mr Boot taking one for the team!

Risking life and limb to demonstrate a positive mind set during a visit from a BMX champion. The things we do for the children!

The children across the school enjoyed a wonderful morning’s entertainment with a visiting pantomime - Jack and the Beanstalk. It was very loud, lots of fun and a lovely British tradition that the children experienced. 🫘 🐮 🌱 🥚

What an exciting day Badgers had learning about Roman Chester! The visit supports our classroom writing and learning across the curriculum. Handling artefacts; trying on authentic armour; marching and preparing for battle!
