What a busy week we’ve had in 8G!
 

Our theme has been Charlie And The Chocolate Factory, and we’ve really enjoyed watching the original film in class. Katie and Clayton are also reading the book. We linked our science to this topic when we explored solids and liquids - we talked about what…

8G had a great week celebrating World Religion Week amongst lots of other fun activities.

We learned about Buddhism, and enjoyed making pictures of Buddha with tissue paper and chalk - they were so good that we’ve put them up on the wall outside our classroom so everyone can admire them.

Well, we may not all be in class together but 8G used the power of technology to have a ‘live lesson’ today.  Ty, Reece, Clayton and Katie were joined virtually by Eshan, Josh and Harry to undertake a baking lesson with Mrs Mahood and her culinary understudy Mr Massey. We challenged all the…

Hello to all the 8G followers, 

I hope we find you safe and well. This week we have been looking at the American celebration of Thanksgiving. The pupils learned that this is the start of the festive season and started in 1620 to mark the first year of the Pilgrims arrival. The pupils did a…

This week in 8G, we’ve been thinking about different types of jobs. We started off by reading a story about Charlie the firefighter. We then took turns to choose a job card, before sorting the cards into “men’s jobs” and “women’s jobs”. We had some fantastic conversations about some of the jobs,…

Good afternoon all you 8G fans and followers.  It has been another busy week in 8G.  To celebrate Children In Need day today we had a Pudsey themed party in our hard earned golden time.  The pupils showed their amazing dancing skills in musical statues, played musical chairs and then pass the…

It has been another busy week in 8G.  We have been baking, exercising, developing our arts and craft skills, and learning about money.  While I enjoyed exploring money the most, I think the pupils would say they enjoyed making their own chocolate topped cheesecake the most! 

I hope you…
