Bramley Class have been excited to plan and write their own portal stories, taking inspiration from Alice in Wonderland and The Journey. To help develop their writing and use of the senses, the children worked outside, thinking about what a character might see, hear or touch. Whilst outside, the children discovered a secret hidden door!

We are looking forward to reading and hearing the final stories next week and discovering where this door (or others) might lead our characters to.

This week, Bramley Class have used their imagination to continue The Journey, inspired by Aaron Becker. Using expanded noun phrases, paragraphs and fronted adverbials, the children have written some brilliant pieces of writing.

 

During our Spring Term, the children in Bramley Class have been learning about Hinduism. We learnt that Hundus worship in a temple called a Mandir and that Mandirs vary in size from small village shrines to large buildings or a shrine can be created in the homes of Hindus. We also learnt that people can visit the Mandir at any time to pray and participate in the bhajans (religious songs).

The children from Bramley and Russet Class enjoyed their hook day this week. Working in groups, they had to complete several construction tasks, each following a clear design brief within a set time. These tasks included a paper bridge challenge, where they learnt that different shapes provide varying levels of support.
