7A

We have had a fabulous first fortnight in 7A! There are 6 learners in our class who have joined Astley Park in September, so we have taken every opportunity to get to know each other. 
So far we have found out that together we have lots of siblings, lots of pets and that pizza is a firm favourite…

We have had a fantastic year in 7A and are so proud of all our learners for settling in so well into our Key Stage 3 Phase.

The last few weeks we have participated in lots of fun activities across our timetable including, a visit to Massa’s ice cream shop, a class party and a very special KFC…

On Monday, 7A headed to Blackpool Zoo. (Shout out to Mrs Devlin for driving us!)

We were not the most fortunate with the weather - but this did not stop us having a great time. 7A applied their community safety skills and social skills throughout the day - walking carefully, waiting for their…

Yesterday afternoon 7A hosted their summer term Sharing our Learning. Parents were invited into class to join us for a ‘Potions Class’ lesson. In ‘Potions Class’ we have been exploring the properties of materials and grouping them by category and features.

This afternoon, our lesson was…

On Tuesday some of 7A had sharing our learning with Miss Cross and Mrs Hand and some of 7A went to the park with Mrs Bretherton and Mr Crew.

We were very lucky to have some nice weather so that we could enjoy playing on the park. We had lots of fun playing on all of the equipment, working out…

We have had a very busy start to our last half term in 7A.

In Wizard Workshop, we finished our wands following our initial design plans and using a range of tools and materials.

In PE we have been developing…

Over the past two-weeks 7A have continued exploring fantasy texts in our My Communication lessons and have recently read the book ‘Leon and the Place In Between’. The majority of 7A preferred this book to our first book ‘The Tin Forest’ because it was about magic and was more exciting to read.…

7A have been busy working on Aspirational Learning Intentions and Curriculum Learning Goals this week.

We have started reading one of our new texts ‘The Tin Forest’ and have been looking closely at the text, making predictions and thinking about feelings of the characters and reader.

Welcome back 7A!

Last week 7A jumped back into routine and explored what we are learning about over the summer term. 7A, 8A and 9A are all learning under the theme of ‘Welcome to Hogwarts’ and have been spilt into the Hogwarts houses, earning points for their house (at the end of the term the…

Before half-term, Year 7 who attended the Calvert Trust residential invited families into school for our Calvert Rewards assembly.

A big thank you to all our families who were able to join us for the afternoon of celebration. We had a wonderful turn out and it was lovely for us to share some…

During the Spring Term, we did lots of fantastic learning - working on our functional life skills, our Aspirational Learning Goals and our Curriculum Learning Goals.

In My Communication based lessons, we learnt about Acrostic Poems in Spring 1 and Postcards…
