Call the Midwife!

We have had a visit from a midwife to find out more about her job and how she helps others. The children all listened beautifully and are now looking after all the babies very carefully in our role play baby clinic!

Falcons Created a Dance Based on World War 2 Imagery.

Today, during PE, the Falcons created a dance inspired by World War 2. We worked in pairs to devise dance moves that corresponded with images such as; Evacuation; Anderson Shelters and Soldiers. We then performed each pairs’ moves, as a sequence of individual dances, before putting the dance together to the music; ’It’s a Long Way To Tipperary’. Well done Falcons, I thought you performed it spectacularly!!

Searching for features of persuasive writing in leaflets.

Today Falcons were searching for examples of persuasive writing found in leaflets advertising attractions in our local area. They were able to identify the techniques used to attract specific audiences and recognise how features, such as; repetition; alliteration; rhetorical questions and many other persuasive writing features capture the attention and interest of specific groups of people.

Anti - Bullying Week!!

Today in Falcons, we created a fictional character called Jo and discussed the consequences of bullying through this character. The children all got in to role and explored the issues and dilemmas that this character might face. We also discussed certain (not so nice) behaviours that some people show and what possible feelings they may have. We compared this to the metaphorical ideas that their behaviours were the tip of the ice berg (that everyone could see) but their feelings are hidden in the sea and are not so obviously seen or understood by others. The children created exceptional role plays where they were able to explore, in depth, the possible outcomes of telling an adult and not telling an adult if they were being bullied. It was clear at the end of the lesson that it is always vitally important to tell an adult that they trust if ever they experience such difficulties.
