🌳🐛 A Wonderful Woodland Adventure for Seal Class! 🐛🌳 Seal Class had a fantastic time on their school trip to Duffles Pond, where they explored the woodland habitat and put their learning about living things and habitats into practice! 🌿 The children had lots of opportunities to get hands-on with nature, including going on a bug hunt, creating their very own bucket pond habitat and investigating fallen leaves to identify which trees they had come from. 🍂🪲 Throughout the trip, the children demonstrated so many of our learning characteristics. We saw wonderful curiosity as they explored and asked questions, collaboration as they worked together on their activities, and what fantastic respectful active citizens they were, showing care and respect for the natural environment around them. 💚 A HUGE thank you goes to the wonderful volunteers who run and look after Duffles Pond, as well as the volunteers who gave up their time to come along and support us on our trip. We are so grateful for all the time, effort and enthusiasm you give. Our visit simply wouldn't have been possible without you, and we really appreciate everything you did to make it such a special experience for the children. It was lovely to see the children so engaged, enthusiastic and excited about their learning. A big well done to Seal Class for being such fantastic ambassadors for our school! 🌟

🎃👻 What a spooky week in Starfish Class! 👻🎃 We've had a spooktacular time last week! 🧙 We wrote our own potions for a visiting witch and turned our fantastic ideas into a very special class spell book. We also got creative, icing spiderweb biscuits and decorating delicious cupcakes! 🕷🧁 We carved a pumpkin 🎃 and rounded off our week in style by dressing up in our wonderful Halloween costumes on Friday. There were lots of smiles, creativity and spooky fun along the way! We hope everyone is having a fantastic half term break. Enjoy a well-deserved rest and we look forward to seeing you next week! 🧡🖤 Happy Halloween from Starfish Class! 🦇

A huge thank you to the Friends of Winterton Primary School & Nursery for putting on a fantastic Halloween Disco for all of our children to enjoy 👻🎃🧙🏻

Congratulations to our children who achieved Learning Characteristic of the Week certificates. In Friday's Assembly, Miss Williams presented these certificates to children, who have been chosen by their class teacher, for either excellent progress in a particular subject or for displaying one of our Learning Characteristics. During this assembly, we also celebrated good attendance and sporting achievements. Well done everyone! 🏆

Thank you to Danielle from Tesco Great Yarmouth Community for the wonderful Treats donated to us for our Halloween Disco

🎤🌟 Persuasive Speeches in Year 3 and 4! 🌟🎤 Our Year 3 and 4 children have been working hard on their persuasive speeches, and it was wonderful to see them share their ideas with their chosen audiences! 🗣👏 The children had some fantastic ideas about who they wanted to persuade. Some chose our headteacher, Miss Williams, others chose their class teachers, Miss Hall and Mrs Scott, while others shared their speeches with friends and parents. One child even took their persuasive skills to the local community by choosing a local councillor as their audience! 🌍 There was a brilliant range of topics, including: 🐾 Persuading the school to have a class or school pet Encouraging others to love football 🧸 Persuading a friend to arrange a playdate 🌿 Asking a local councillor to organise litter picking to protect our wildlife The children showed great confidence, creativity and determination as they thought carefully about their audience and how to convince them. We are so proud of the way they used their speaking and persuasive writing skills to share their opinions and make their voices heard! 💚 Who knows what they might persuade us to do next! 😉

🍪🎨 Sharks Get Creative with Salt Dough! 🎨🍪 Our Shark children have been busy preparing for their next exciting art project, where they will be using clay to create their very own 3D biscuits! To develop their modelling skills, the children have been experimenting with salt dough to plan and practise their designs. This is a technique used by many sculptors, who create practice models known as maquettes before moving on to their final three-dimensional pieces. 🌟 As you can see, our Sharks have done a fantastic job of recreating the key features of their chosen biscuits using dough! We are so impressed with their creativity, attention to detail and developing sculpting skills. We can't wait to see their finished clay creations! 👏🍪
