We have been extremely busy in Hive, making and decorating our classroom for Christmas. Can you guess what theme the children decided to go with? Summerswood School @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS

We have been feeling very festive today. The cookery corner smelt divine! We hope you enjoy your treats. Summerswood School @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS

It is important to establish positive relationships with new pupils. We begin with an activity of the staff sharing their ‘getting to know you’ boxes; a fun way sharing a little bit about yourself. The children then make their own boxes to share. @MJonessps Summerswood School

In art the children looked at a range of real and imaginary deep sea creatures. This week they decided to focus and sketch a dolphin. Their concentration and pencil skills were amazing! @MJonessps Summerswood School

This weeks Summerswood superstar is a great friend who everyone is so proud of! Summerswood School @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS

Here is some of Hive’s work from History week displayed for our Jubilee picnic. We had a great afternoon! Summerswood School @MJonessps Miss Wheatcroft

We have been learning about James Lind. The children have written excellent non-chronological reports all about him. Did you know that citrus fruits cured scurvy? Summerswood School @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS

During thriving together, we read the book ‘A Huge Bag of Worries’, a book that encourages children to open up about their fears & anxieties to help manage their feelings. We discussed the importance of sharing our worries & discussed coping strategies Summerswood School @MJonessps

Anti-Bullying Week maybe coming to an end, but let’s keep the kindness going! Here are a few pictures from our colour conga. Summerswood School

When a pupil chooses boxing as his personalised project and thrives from excitement. The engagement and enthusiasm that sparks the love for learning is immense.#seeingyourselfasalearner#inspirationalpeople#inspiringchildren. Anthony Joshua Mike Tyson TYSON FURY Summerswood School

We discussed things that make us angry. The children were able to relate to others & identify similar experiences. We addressed that anger is a normal, healthy emotion that we all experience at times. It is important to stop, think and reflect. Summerswood School @MJonessps

Learning how to use repeated addition has supported the children to understand and identify multiples of a number. Summerswood School @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS

Team work and passion can produce wonderful things. The children in Hive look forward to baking on a Friday. Here is their creation for the week, which smelt divine! Summerswood School @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS

What does curiosity mean to you? We read the book ‘The Heart and the Bottle’ and the children wondered and imagined who the little girl was missing. We discussed what it would be like to have no curiosity. Oliver Jeffers Summerswood School @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS

Apple pie sensory tray 🍎🥧🍏 The children loved exploring and using their imagination to make an apple pie. They scooped, poured, measured and enjoyed the smell of the cinnamon sticks. @MJonessps MrsWheatcroftSPS Summerswood School

Weighing, measuring and mixing are definitely one of the children’s favourite things to do. The smell of chocolate chip flapjacks smelt divine! Summerswood School MrsWheatcroftSPS @MJonessps

Relating anger to firework/rocket. The match is the trigger, the fuse is our thoughts, feelings and body sensations, the explosion is our anger and the water is the cooling off and calming down process. A great model for children to relate to. Summerswood School @MJonessps

The power of kindness. Understanding how it feels and what it looks like. Treat others how you expect to be treated. Here’s our kindness pot, how we have shared kindness and how others have shown it to us. Anti-bullying week 2023 Summerswood School MrsFolkes-JonesSPS
