Making porridge in 1L
Today we read the story of ‘The Magic Porridge Pot’ and then we made some!
Can you remember how to make it? Can you tell someone at home?
Luckily, the porridge didn’t go EVERYWHERE like in the story.
Did you like the porridge? Can you describe it?
Tyrannosaurus Drip! 1L
This week, we have been busy writing the story of Tyrannosaurus Drip! We have also been taking part in lots of other activities to help us to explore the story. Have a look at the photos (taken by the children themselves) below and describe what we got up to.

Year 1 share stories!
In Year 1, we have been learning the story of Handa’s Surprise! Last week, we wrote the story in our own little books. They are FANTASTIC! We are very proud of ourselves.
Today, we shared our brilliant work with each other.
Here are some photos of 1L and 1S sharing stories!
Lewisham Migration Stories
Today, Year 5 were lucky enough to have a visit from Peoplescape Theatre. We watched a performance that told the stories of people who had migrated to Lewisham, and learnt that migration means movement. We learnt that people migrate for many different reasons: to explore; to study; to work; to find a new home, being some of the many reasons. We talked about some of the reasons people may have for staying in Lewisham, or for returning to where they came from, and how difficult those decisions can be to make.
Over the course of the term, the children in Year 5 will be participating in workshops to learn more about Lewisham’s history and the stories of its people, culminating in a celebration of Lewisham’s diverse communities with a performance.
We’re really looking forward to the workshops, where we’ll have the opportunity to explore a theme through drama techniques such as still image, corridor of thought, shadow puppets, choral speaking and poetry writing.
Who pushed Humpty?
Today we received a jumbled up newspaper with a shocking headline! We worked together to put the newspaper back together again.
We found out that poor Humpty was pushed off the wall. We are keeping an eye out for clues!
Some children were inspired to make posters to solve the mystery.
1S Duckling Diaries
For the past 2 weeks we have been keeping a duckling diary and writing entries about the eggs arriving, ducklings hatching and lots more!
Today we were feeling particularly proud of ourselves and wanted to show our hard work! We were writing facts about ducks and everyone worked hard to write down facts they found interesting for their diaries.
I hope when you look at the photos below you see not only their lovely pieces of work but also the pride on their faces. Super work 1S!!!
