Team Dahl Activities

Big Walk & Wheel

A fantastic effort from everyone during the Big Walk & Wheel – well done, Team Dahl! 😀⭐️

A fun & very competitive P.E lesson playing Kickball to develop our bowling & fielding skills 😀

In music we listened to the song ‘Kingston Town by UB40’. We thought about the style of music (reggae). We listened for the pulse and thought about the tempo of the song. We also listened for the different instruments and voices in the song.
We did some warm-up games and warmed up our voices ready to perform
Zootime. We really enjoyed playing the glockenspiel to Zootime (by Joanna Mangona)
This is a reggae style song which the children are learning to sing and play instruments with.
Marvellous Musicians! 🎼

World Book Day

Having lots of fun sharing our favourite books for World Book Day 😀📚

TEAM OF THE WEEK

Wow! Super proud of all the children in Team Dahl after an outstanding performance of Michael Rosen’s ‘Rhythm of Life’ in Celebration Assembly.
We were thrilled to be Mr Christie’s ‘Team of the Week’ after all of our hard work & fantastic attitudes this week. Superstars!
Be proud, Team Dahl! ⭐️

English – Poems to Perform

Having lots of fun in English working in groups to improve our performances of ‘Hand on the Bridge’ using instruments.

Weekly Value – Resilience

In school our weekly value this week (w.c. 8.1.24) is ‘Resilience’. Team Dahl have enjoyed reading the story ‘Jabari Tries’ which is all about Jabari, a little boy who is trying to build an aeroplane. Even though it’s very tricky & there are difficulties along the way, Jabari does not give up!
We enjoyed a great discussion about how Jabari showed resilience and what helped him to do so. We had fun designing our own ‘positive thinking caps’ with some great slogans to help us to be resilient when times are tough.

Maths

Wow! Year 2 have worked super hard in Maths  learning written methods for adding two 2-digit numbers, crossing 10. Well done, Y2!⭐️

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

A busy start to the year in Team Dahl! ⭐️
Happy New Year, everyone!

Make a Noise About Bullying!

Team Dahl had lots of fun while making a music video with BigFoot Arts to promote the importance of making a noise about bullying!

English – Making Predictions

In English we’ve been introduced to our new core text. The cover of the book has been wrapped up so children don’t know the title or author, and can’t see the illustrations.
We’ve sneaked a peek at the opening page and children enjoyed a discussion about the pictures, looking closely to respond to what they can see and make inferences & predictions by considering key questions such as; where is this place? What is it like? How do you know? Would you like to go there? Why/why not? Have you ever been somewhere like this? How might it feel to be there?

Maths Week

Team Dahl enjoyed a fun number bond challenge as part of Maths Week England.
The theme this year was ‘3 is the magic number’, so in teams of 3 we challenged ourselves to see how many number bonds to & within 10 we could find in 60 seconds. It was very competitive!
Finally, our top 3 teams battled it out to be the Number Bond Champions!
We had a tie with two teams scoring 32 – well done, Team Dahl!

P.E. – Yoga

We enjoyed yoga with Beth, working on making our bodies strong and flexible. We learned lots of new poses, played games and had some relaxation.

Art – Explore & Draw

We love art in Team Dahl! We have started our new art topic – Explore & Draw.
The children were introduced to the idea that artists are inspired by the world around them. We looked at various artists to help the children understand that by exploring our environment with ‘fresh eyes’ and curiosity we can find inspiration for our artwork.
We got active and went outside to collect and create. We played with objects to create new shapes and patterns on the ground using different things like twigs, leaves and bark.
We then gathered everything up and went back to the classroom and explored composition and arrangement on table tops.

Black History Month

We created some fantastic posters for display to show off  the work we’ve been doing for Black History Month.

Team Dahl Assembly

A big well done to Team Dahl after a fantastic assembly! We loved sharing our excellent penguin fact files & life cycle writing with the rest of the school.

Roald Dahl Workshop

We enjoyed making our own Marvellous Medicine and planning & acting out our own adverts for Willy Wonka’s chocolate.
