Traditional Tales
Red Class have been immersed in Fairytale Stories. We have listened, read and acted out all the different stories. Then we chose our favourite Fairytale and chose ourselves which group we wanted to be in. We were given a cardboard box to make a puppet theatre and in our groups we planned, designed and brought in items to make the box look like our Fairytale story. After that we made our puppets depending on the characters we were playing. In our our groups we planned and wrote out a short play script. We practiced these and added a musical instrument.
|
We then performed our puppet shows in front of different classes. We worked really hard and had lots of fun making and performing the puppet shows. The other classes loved watching them . We hope you do too! |
Poems
We did lots of poetry around the theme of Animals and here is one of our performance poems, 'African Animal Poem'.
|
We loved performing so much that we learnt a rap in our groups ‘The Bone Yard Rap’. Only watch if you DARE!!!. |
Whoops a Daisy!
We found this wonderful video of the children singing songs all about our Light and Dark Topic. Enjoy the late entry!

The Inquisitive Children of Red Class
| Light and Dark Learning Activities
We did different investigations finding out about things that reflect, which torch is the brightest? And how we need light to see because our den is too dark to see without a torch. |
Our Dark Den
We went in our ‘Dark Den’ to see how we can make different colours with the torch and some coloured sheets.

Red Class Presenting Homework
Take a look at Red Class showing their fantastic homework. Also please take a look at the power points that 2 of our children created at home on the topic Light and Dark.
Transparent, Translucent & Opaque
We looked at different materials to see how they hide the light. We found out what transparent, translucent & opaque meant by looking through all different materials.
Red Class enjoyed this topic immensely. Well Done Red Class!

Mr Sheikh
Last week Miss Duckworth and Mrs Doughty were very busy and didn’t have the time to show the children how to use Word Art on the laptop. We needed describing words in Word Art for the class display.
What could we do?
Luckily Mr Sheikh stepped into the role of the teacher and took over for us.
Well Done Mr Sheikh!

A teacher in the making we think!
Red Class meet Red Watch from Bury Fire Station!
Red Class topic is Fire & Safety this term. Red Class were lucky enough to be visited by Fire Officers Pete Fletcher, Martin Scholes, James Hartley & Mark Robertson from Red Watch Bury Fire Station.
Red Class held a question and answer session with the Fire Officers. Miss Duckworth was chosen to dress as a Fire Officer and Finlay was treated to a fireman’s lift by Fire Officer Martin Scholes.
Off we went outside to look at the fire engine that was parked in the school grounds. We saw and heard the siren and flashing lights they use. We saw all the tools they have in the fire engine and we got to squirt water from the hose and walk through the cab.
The Fire Officers commented on how well behaved Red Class were. Well Done Red Class and a big ‘Thank You’ to the Fire Officers for taking the time to come and visit us.
Red Class loved their visit as you can see in the slideshows!
