Cross Fell's Learning

In our PSHE sessions we have been thinking all about setting goals. Today we talked about persevering to reach our goals listening to the story of a penguin who just couldn't give up!

In our art session the children made their own versions of superheroes, we were very impressed by the level of detail and the imaginative and bold use of colour to convey each superhero's unique talents.

This afternoon in DT the children have finished their split pin puppets and we now have them on display in the classroom. We were very impressed with the designing, making and evaluating that the children all took part in. 

Mini Boot Camp will start on Monday, please sign your child up via their iPayimpact account.
Thank you

This week Year 2 have started to learn about 2D shapes. We have been looking at the properties of shapes including the number of sides and vertices. Today the Year 2 children had great fun making 2D shapes out of paper straws discussing their properties as we worked.

It is so lovely to see our children choosing to read in the reading corner. Keep sharing that love of reading everyone!
