Year 2 Miss Lowe’s class – Poland

Flag of Poland - Wikipedia We loved learning about Poland during European Languages Day!

Lianna shared her Polish book and helped us practise some Polish words and phrases:“Cześć” (Hi/Bye)

“Jak się nazywasz?” (What is your name?)

“Nazywam się… “ (My name is…)

We then designed our own Polish pottery. We loved the circular patterns and bright colours.

Ciao Reception! 🇮🇹

Today we celebrated the European Day of Languages.
We were learning all about Italy 🇮🇹. What a wonderful day we had!

We learnt about where Italy is on a map and spotted that it was shaped like a boot! We looked at some of the famous landmarks there. We talked about the traditional food, such as pizza and pasta that is eaten there.

We learnt about the traditional type of mosaic art and then created our class mosaic of the Italian flag.

We then read Pinocchio at story time. We recognised this tale, but discovered it was written by an Italian author long ago.

As part of our continuous provision, we worked as a team to create an Italian themed paper chain. We made pizzas from play dough complete with toppings. We acted out the story of Pinocchio. We used construction to make our own Italian landmarks including the very challenging leaning tower of Pisa!

We were so lucky that Mrs Giordano from Nursery came to visit. She taught us some Italian words and even heads, shoulders, knees and toes in Italian!
Thank you for coming in the traditional Italian colours. We cannot wait for next year with another exciting new country to learn about.

Hej from Year 1!

The children have had a lovely day celebrating European Day of Languages! We’ve been greeting each other in Swedish, learnt about the Swedish culture and were inspired to design our own Dola Horses using traditional folk art. We ended the day celebrating all languages and having a dance to ABBA.

Safeguarding, Health & Safety Governors Committee

Governors from the Health and Safety committee met last week. They were delighted to hear that the children from Year 3, 4 and 5 talked so confidently about E Safety and what do if they felt uncomfortable about something online.

They were reassured that the Health and Safety policy and procedure across Early Years is robust.

Governors again put a spotlight over the induction procedures and were happy that a newly appointed member of the Newdale team spoke confidently about the process and the impact it has had on her first few weeks at our school.

Governors look forward to talking to more children and staff next half term.
