African drumming at Cromer Academy

Monday 4th July years 1 and 2 went to Cromer Academy to take part in an African drumming session.

 The drum was made of wood and the top was made from goatskin. 

 We stood in a circle and played Simon says.

 We sang a song that we sing in music lessons on Fridays. 

We had so much fun.

Topic

Our topic at the moment is all about the sea and various different sea creatures. 

We have created many different poems to do with the sea. We are creating a book all about animals. 

 We created a puppet show based on the book Swimmy. 

Butterflies

The week before half term Acorn class got some caterpillars. As no one would be in school during half term the caterpillars needed to go home with someone. Miss Page was given the job of looking after them. Nothing happened to them until Wednesday. 

2 caterpillars changed into chrysalis. By Friday all 9 had changed. 

On Monday Miss Page brought them back and by lunchtime we had 1 butterfly! 

 By Tuesday we had 2.

 Throughout the week more and more butterflies came out of their chrysalis. We fed the butterflies with sugar and water. 

On Tuesday (14.06.16) we decided to release the butterflies at Forest School. 

 We opened the top, but the butterflies were reluctant to leave. 

 We tried to tempt them out with flowers. 

In the end we left them on the ground and waited for them to leave on their own. 

 One landed on to our hands. It tickled. 

 

 One of the butterflies wouldn't leave...

 They kept landing on us. 

One of our butterflies had a broken wing and wasn't very well. We picked it up and placed it high up on to some flowers in hope that it would get some food and get better. 

KS1 athletics on Monday

On Monday KS1 went to Holt Primary to take part in an athletics event. 

 We wore our school kit. 

There were 10 different athletic activities such as long distance running, relay, throwing and long jump. 

 We had to see who could throw the howler the furthest. 

 Ready for action. 

 It went so far! 

The next activity we went on was the ladder. The team leaders told us there were 3 different ways of doing it. 

 One foot in each. 

 We liked this one. 

We had a go at javelin. 

We ran around the field. The time we had to beat was 49 seconds. 

 We had a team talk before we set off.

 And we're off! 

Lily came first in an amazing time of 54 seconds. So close to beating the record holder. 

Next activity was long jump. 

We can jump so far. 

Our last activity was to see who can jump over the cones the quickest. The record to beat on this one was 44 times in 20 seconds. 

We really enjoyed our afternoon at Holt athletics. We are so excited for the next one! Well done everyone.

Art exhibition

Northrepps Primary School have been working on things to do with the sea. Both classes went to Cromer Museum and learnt about the sea. In art we have been working on creating sea creatures. Today, we are taking our artwork to Cromer Parish hall for an art exhibition. This will be on until next Wednesday (01.06.2016). 

 

We made baskets and we had to weave them all together. 

We had a circular piece of cardboard, we covered it in glue then stuck various different materials to create a sea effect. Each year group worked on their own.

We also had a hoop which we needed to add string to it. Reception tied the string on to the edge then threw it over to the other person. Eventually we ended up with a dream catcher effect. We loved doing this piece. 

We also made fish out of plastic bottles. We did this by sticking on tissue paper and googley eyes. 

If you want to see more of our artwork then please come to Cromer Parish hall.
