Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
This week we were lucky enough to visit the Manea Library Bus. 8 children from different classes, walked to the bus and spent time exploring the different books. They each chose a selection of fiction and non-fiction texts which they wanted to share with their year groups. We will be visiting the Library Bus each month and we can't wait for our next trip!
This week we have all had so much fun celebrating Book Week. All classes have taken part in a range of activities, all around promoting the love of reading.
Some of our highlights include:
-Taking part in a door decorating competition
-Dressing up as our favourite characters
-Sharing stories and drinking hot choclate!
We have also been very lucky to have been presented with some fantastic new books for our library, from RG Carter, who will be building our new classrooms.
In Reception this week we have celebrated Chinese New Year. We have found out about the celebration and discovered many facts. We have then enjoyed creating various ways to celebrate. See our webpage for more information.....
Some of the children in year 5 and 6 completed their bikeability training last week! They worked really hard and learnt how to stay safe on the road.
This week KS1 have finished their History topic all about Famous Explorers. We are now experts and can tell you all about Roald Amundson, Neil Armstrong, Idn Battuta and Sylvia Earle. Ask us all about their amazing explorations!
The children have all enjoyed a morning of challenges and worked really well as a team. They have just had lunch and all enjoyed the pizza and serving each other!
SNOW in Year R!
It has been very cold this week and we were excited to see some snowflakes on Tuesday..... but..... no snow landed. What a shame! So we made our own!
We read the story 'Iris and Isaac' and decided to make our own snow nests. Mrs Stevens found a way to make indoor snow and we spent the session moulding, squidging and flattening our very own nests!
Spirals!
Over Christmas, children in Year 1/2 have continued their learning from our Art topic and have had a go at creating their own spirals.
Have a look at our super creations!
This week Fir and Oak class have started their Anti-bullying unit. So far they have learnt all about what 'bullying' is and the different types of bullying. The children have been great at sharing their views to different scenarios- and recognising the different characterstics of bullying.
This week we have been visited by the Travelling Book Fair. The children have been able to browse and buy a variety of lovely books and stationery. We have been so pleased to see how many families have come and supported our book fair. Your generous support has earned Manea lots of rewards which will enable the school to buy new books for our classrooms and library.
