Winter definitely arrived this week with frosty mornings and chilly days! We are heading towards Christmas now that December is here and practising hard for our Christmas 🎄 production.
Eagle Owls began their advent on Friday by searching for the class Elf on the shelf. He does get up to mischief around the school!
We had a great week this week with lots of exciting events! A whole school arts afternoon preparing art for the church; a multi skills event for Y2 to go and represent the school and our 7 Cross Country Finalists who went to High Lodge, Thetford Forest to compete against pupils from all over the whole of Norfolk!
Pupils from across KS2 went to High Lodge at Thetford where they raced against pupils from all over Norfolk, representing not only us, but also the rest of Norwich – against so many more than at Eaton Park! Thank you to all the parents who were able to transport and be our supporters 🩷 Well done to our brilliant 7. Our top finisher was a Y4 who came 14th out of 80!! Fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻
Schools all over the country were thinking about being kind this week and celebrating difference. We had Odd Socks day on Monday for this then a busy week as usual, ending with a non uniform day for Children In Need.
Eagle Owls continue to make a wide range of circuits in their Electricity Topic.
Eagle Owls are using different components of an electrical circuit. They are recognising the symbols that are used to represent each element in order to make their own circuits.
KS2 were excited to have a Music Worldwide Workshop on Tuesday. They got to work with Pedro Espi-Sanchis. He performed with a wide range of unexpected instruments, from pipes made from kelp to a bow with a gourd threaded onto it to make a stringed instrument. We learnt how even in the most remote village in South Africa they can make music from everything that they have!
Then on Friday we were able to transport 42 children from across KS2 to the annual Cross Country Competition at Earlham Park. Well done to all that took part and to parents who were able to come and support.
What a lovely end to the first half term – our Harvest Assembly. Thank you all so much for your donations and for braving the torrential rain to join us! Have a great half term.
Eagle Owls finished the food tech for this term by making a modern dish – they made veggie burgers. The development of vegetarian and Vegan food has really taken off this century. They have really enjoyed the food technology this year. Well done to Mrs Bushell, Mrs Awbery and Mrs Graves without whom we couldn’t do any cooking. It is an organisational triumph in a such a small school with no designated food tech room!
Eagle Owls continue with cooking through the ages and this week made Mac and Cheese! We are getting very modern now and hopefully they are learning some wonderful skills for life!
Eagle Owls are cooking through the ages and this week a popular dish from many years: Pineapple Upside Down Cake. They were all very happy with the result, and we hope that you enjoyed them at home too!
Eagle Owls made Fish Pie this week as they continue to explore cooking across the ages. We wonder if there is a budding celebrity chef amongst them?
