🌟 This Week at Mighty Mossy! 🌟

It has been another busy and exciting week at Mighty Mossy! Here’s a look at what we have been getting up to across Acorn and Oak Class. 🌿

🌱 Acorn Class

🌍 Geography: We have been creating our own ‘messy maps’, using directional language to describe journeys from one continent to another. We have also been identifying and describing the oceans we would travel through on our journeys. 🗺️🌊

📚 English: We have been exploring non-fiction books and identifying their key features. We have been learning about the difference between fact and fiction and using glossaries to find the meanings of new words.

🎨 Art: We have been using everyday objects to create repeating patterns, experimenting with shape, arrangement and repetition.

🎵 Music: We have been listening carefully to songs played on the guitar and seeing if we can identify them just from what we hear! 🎸

🌈 Fun and learning outdoors: We have enjoyed using chalk to create pictures and practise writing numbers, making delicious-looking soup and pies in the mud kitchen, and playing music while taking to the stage for our very own performances! 🎨🥧🎶

🏛️ Oak Class

📖 English: We have been reading and performing our Rockin’ Romans playscript, developing our expression and performance skills. Next week, we will use what we have learned to write our own playscripts based on the Dum Spiro cartoon.

🏺 History: We have been learning about the incredible success of Roman aqueducts and discovering how the Romans transported water across their vast empire.

🤸 PE: We have been working hard to perfect our balances, developing our control, coordination and technique.

💻 Computing: We have been using iMovie to record and create our own scripts, developing our digital editing and presentation skills.

What a fantastic week of learning, creativity and fun! Well done, Mighty Mossy! 💚🌿

🌟 This Week at Mighty Mossy! 🌟

It’s been another fantastic week at Mighty Mossy, filled with curiosity, creativity, teamwork and plenty of learning! 💚 Here’s a look at what our Acorn and Oak Classes have been getting up to…

📚 Lancashire Library Bus Visit:

We were delighted to welcome the Lancashire Library Bus to Mighty Mossy this week! 🚌📖 The children had a fantastic time exploring the huge selection of books and choosing their own favourites to take back to school. Each child selected three books, giving them plenty of opportunities to discover new stories, authors and topics. It was wonderful to see so much excitement and enthusiasm as the children browsed the shelves, and we hope this visit inspires an even greater love of reading! 💚📚✨

🌰 Acorn Class Highlights:

🦖 English: We have started our exciting new topic exploring the question “Could dinosaurs live in Mossy Meadow?” We headed outdoors to investigate whether dinosaurs really could live in our environment and then came up with lots of questions we would like to ask about dinosaurs. 🦕 Next week, we’ll be finding out the answers using non-fiction books!

🐦 Science: We have been learning about birds and reptiles, looking closely at their characteristics and discussing the similarities and differences between the two groups.

🎭 Outdoor Learning: The Acorns took to our outdoor stage and put on their very own performance! There was lots of singing, dancing and fantastic confidence on show. 🌟🎶💃

💻 Computing: We have continued learning about algorithms and had lots of fun trying to follow instructions to turn a frog into a prince! 🐸👑

🌳 Oak Class Highlights:

🎭 English: We have begun our new unit on play scripts, exploring the features of a script and beginning to look at Rocking Romans. We’re looking forward to developing our own scripts and performances!

💻 Computing: We have been writing a script for a mini vlog about how to stay safe online, ready for us to film using iMovie. 🎥📱

🍫 Science: We carried out an investigation into melting points and changes of state, using chocolate buttons! 🍫 We focused on making sure our investigation was a fair test, carefully considering the variables we needed to control.

🐛 Forest Friday:

We became mini-beast detectives, searching for creatures in our outdoor environment. We then designed our own bug hotels, thinking carefully about the different materials and resources that mini beasts would like to use. 🌿🐞🕷️

⛪ Harvest Assembly:

A huge WELL DONE to all of our children for their wonderful performance at our Harvest Assembly at Tunley Church. 🎶🍂 We were incredibly proud of them!

And a huge thank you to all of our families for coming along and supporting us. It was so lovely to see the church completely full! 💚

We would also like to say a very special thank you for your incredibly generous donations to the food bank. Your kindness and generosity will make a real difference to local families. 🥫❤️

✨ Another wonderful week at Mighty Mossy! ✨

Another action-packed day for our Year 6 children at PGL! 🤩

Today has been all about teamwork and problem-solving! 💪 The children worked together on Jacob’s Ladder and tackled a range of problem-solving challenges, encouraging and supporting each other every step of the way. 🪜🧩
