What a fantastic start to Term 4!
Thursday was the Big Day with Badger Class Assembly in the morning and our first Swimming Lesson at Ringmer School Pool.
The children were so excited about performing, there was a real ‘buzz’ to our subject! We hope you were Dazzled by our facts and Zapped by our energy.
The work on treasure maps has been such fun and encompassed many parts of the curriculum. It was an added bonus that we had the 300th anniversary of the rescue of Alexander Selkirk from a desert island, that prompted Daniel Defoe’s novel Robinson Crusoe.
The water theme continued in the afternoon with our first swimming lesson at Ringmer Pool. Due to the help of many dedicated, talented volunteers we had a tremendous start to the lessons. The children were split into small groups which enabled them to get more specialist teaching and their behaviour was impeccable. We assessed them according to the reply slips we received, then had some fun with swimming tools provided. It was great day.
But we mustn’t leave the week without mentioning our Learning Journey for this term – Bread. We began by identifying as many different types of bread we could think of, and came up with more than the number of children in Badger Class. An impressive list and still growing!
