Weekly news

It was lovely to see you all back for our brand new year 2020. We hope all of our Dolphin and Whale families had a lovely Christmas and we enjoyed sharing our Christmas memories on our first day back.

We have started our new topic, Street Detectives. We started by looking at a map of Mulbarton. Using photographs, we identified different landmarks from the village and spotted them on our maps. Some of us even challenged ourselves to locate the name of the road that each landmark was on.

This week has been Inspirational Maths week. This is where we think about having a growth mind set, particularly in maths. We remind ourselves that no one is born with or without a maths brain. Instead we must challenge ourselves and be resilient which will help us become super mathematicians. If we believe, we can achieve anything!

To help launch our Street Detectives topic, we went on a trip to the Norfolk Records Office. There, we looked at a map of Mulbarton in the past and compared it to the map we looked at in our Geography. We also looked at a census from the 1900s. we learnt how to retrieve information from looking at these important documents. Later in the day we saw some other important documents. We spotted the information about christenings in Mulbarton Church, spotting some children from our class and school! We were also lucky enough to have access to the Strong Room. It was rather cold in there and not many people are allowed in. We all enjoyed seeing the special cupboards that move when you turn a wheel!

In English we started our new Power of reading book – 10 things I can do to help my world. We considered ways that we already try to love our world and sorted the most important ways we can look after it.

We also enjoyed a tennis workshop with Sam. He showed us how to throw and catch a ball, as well as other tennis techniques. Some of us have shown a lot of interest in joining a tennis club!
