On Friday, Key Stage One went absolutely WILD for reading!
After a calm morning worship was suddenly interrupted by two WILD jungle animals dancing to 'I like to move it, move it', the children were buzzing with excitement to complete the 6 reading challenges left for them!
They set about reciting poetry, reading in the willow dome, performing stories, illustrating and much, much more...with each task leading them to an anagram letter. Once all 6 challenges were complete, the children spelt out the words: GO WILD!
This launched our brand new reading reward scheme for Key Stage One, where pupils have the chance to collect WILD animal badges to celebrate their reading successes. The more they read, the more badges they earn...we hope they have brilliant fun going WILD for reading!
Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed creating two different musical styles with the help of Nathan (our music guru) from Soundstorm. First we created 'Junk Beats' using a program called 'iMaschine'. This involved laying different sounds that we harvested over a drum beat and adding keyboard chords.
As an added bonus, each class then took part in a songwriting workshop and composed a class song which we were able to share with parents.
