WOW! What an amazing time we all had at Hooke Court this year. The children were fantastic and made it very easy for us adults so thank you children!
The children took part in a range of wonderful activities including: bridging the moat, night search and rescue, tribal kingdom day, shell craft and rocket building!
As always, the first night resulted in many excited children taking a while to get off to sleep but come night two they were all ready for their beds after the evening activity.
We all enjoyed some delicious food for breakfast, lunch and tea!
I am sure you will agree from looking at the photos and videos that the children (and adults) had a truly memorable experience away and one that they will hopefully remember and cherish for a long time!

On Monday afternoon the children in Aventurine learnt a range of 12 sports games. As 'Playleaders' the children will help the younger children in the school learn to play these games, during the lunchtime. We had a great afternoon outside and the children can't wait to get started.

In maths the children worked in partners to represent 5 digit numbers using place value counters. They started with 39,999 and added one more to find out what would happen and why 9 is a magic number.

Our book in Literacy is ' Creeping Beauty' by Joseph Cohelo - a fairytale gone bad- a twisted fairytale base on the much loved story of Sleeping Beauty. The children took based in a drama session using the Shakespearean 'Whoosh' technique. With just a few props they all took part ina full retelling of the original story. They enjoyed it so much, they asking me if we can do it again!

The year 5's have had a fun filled week learning all about Earth and Space. They have created factfiles on the planets, thought about the size of each planet in relationship to each other, learnt about the movement of the planets in relationship with the sun and begun to explore the movement of the moon.

I think you will agree that the year 6's deserved a treat at the end of their Sats. All the year 6's went up to Daisy Bank and had lots of fun.
They look super smart in their new hoodies.

On Friday 5th May the Children in Aventurine finished their crowns, then took part in a procession around the playground with the children from the other classes. The day was spent doing activities based around the coronation. The children produced a beautiful piece of artwork based on all they know about London and King Charles.

The children acted out two different scenarios to support their learning about Greek democracy. One scenario was based on a criminal court and one based on the greek assembly. They passed a law that slaves should be paid and convicted a slave(Bella!!!) that had killed her slave owner because she treated her slave poorly(Faye). Niall was the logographer(professional speech writer), the group of boys were in the boule and the whole class voted democractically.

All the children followed a design to make the base of their crown and then personalised them with recycled materials. A big thank you to Mrs Taylor, who as you can see in the photo below, is a dab hand with the glue gun and was a huge support in helping the children. I am always impressed with the creativity of the children. Watch this space for more photos of their finished projects.

TRANSLATION AND REFLECTION
In maths the children have been exploring shape. They have learnt how to translate and reflect regular and irregular polygons. They enjoyed playing maths games to practice their new skills. They know that a reflection produces an image that is the same distance from the mirror line as the object and that a translation moves a shape up, down, left, or right to produce a congruent image.

Greek Dancing and Drama
The children in Aventurine had a fabulous time in dance this week. They used their bodies to create poses that represented The Ancient Greek Olympic games.
Can you tell what Olympic game they are trying to portray?
