⭐️ Well done to Ellie who is our first star of the week. 🌟

She has settled well into year 4 and has been a role model to the other children in the class. Well done.

 

This week we had our first pe sessions. We have football on a Tuesday and multi skills on a Friday. We rotated around the tasks and performed different skills- agility, balance and coordination.

Our geography unit is the local area. We recapped on what we knew about the world and then focused on our local area Oswestry. We used google maps to help us find familiar places such as our school, our home, shops and the supermarket.

Each year the children have the opportunity to become a member of the school council. They write a manifesto and present this to the class where they will vote for 2 members. The children did a fantastic job- we will announce the new members this week.

Hawkstone’s first week back

Welcome to the Hawkstone Class page and the start of an exciting new school year! We kicked off on Wednesday, with the children spending the rest of the week getting to know one another, sharing stories about their summer holidays, and settling into the classroom routine.

This year promises to be full of exciting opportunities, with engaging activities, trips, sporting events, and a rich, diverse curriculum to look forward to. We can’t wait to see what this year brings! Please visit our class page for the latest updates and photos showcasing the work we’ve been doing.

If you have any questions or need to reach me, feel free to contact me through Class Dojo. This week, we’ll be sharing the class newsletter and curriculum map, which will include all the key information for the Autumn term.

OUR ANNUAL HOLI COLOUR RUN 2024

Also known as the Festival of Colours, the Festival of Spring, and the Festival of Love, Holi is a celebration during which people famously throw colourful powder and water at one another!

 

Who celebrates Holi?

Holi is a Hindu festival, celebrated by followers of the Hindu religion. However, people from all kinds of backgrounds and religions around the world are encouraged to have fun and take part in the Holi celebrations!

Our first week back in Hawkstone Class

Well back to the last half term of the summer. This one is a busy one with sports day, a trip to the local art gallery, year 4 multiplication test and so much more.

Well done to Niamh who is our star of the week. 🌟

Niamh was chosen because of the writing. Niamh was able to describe a cave using key vocabulary and senses. Well done 🌟

In comprehension we have been using dictionaries and thesaurus’s to understand the key vocabulary within a text.

As part of our English unit, the children had to write a set of instructions using adverbs of time and imperative verbs. The aim was to draw out our plan and write the instructions using the grammatical features.


well done to all the children who have taken part in the multiplication test so far. We have another week ahead of the test so good luck to all this week.

Dementia Awareness Week

This week we will be taking part in Dementia  Awareness Week

We are well on our way to becoming a ‘Dementai Friendly School’ and the journey so far has been both inspirational and informative.

This week is our Dementia Awareness Week at Holy Trinity and we have several things happening.

  1. We will be selling badges in school for £1, the badge is of a forget -me-not and all money raised will go to Alzheimer’s Society:

A forget-me-not is a small blue flower that represents remembrance.

People with dementia may experience memory loss, among other symptoms. This makes the forget-me-not the perfect flower.

If you would like a badge please speak to your class teacher.

2. We have the official opening of our ‘Garden of Hope’ where we have a special section dedicated to Dementia with a selection of blue flowers and forget-me-nots. We have invited residents from New Fairholme Nursing Home and local companies who have kindly donated to help us officially open the garden. Once opened, we will be inviting parents and carers to visit – Date to be confirmed for parents and carers.

3.  Across the school we will be making homemade blue flower bouquets to take to New Fairholme Nursing Home for the residents to keep. These flowers not only represent Dementia but the growing bond the children have.

Thank you for your continued support and if you have any questions about Dementia or this wonderful charity we are supporting – please visit their website:
