The children are studying Vikings and poor Stanley the Boneful needs clothes, armour and weapons.

They  have been given a challenge as homework to make something that will protect him from the Wolf Men (characters form the 'Viking Boy'), and garments to keep him warm.

The children have worked extremely hard and have produced some wonderful work. 

Our Year 6 Directors from ICT ,Creative Curriculum and Eco organised a fun filled day based around our class read 'Viking Boy'. The children took part in acting out a Viking battle , finding clues in a scavenger hut , designing a Viking brooch, making a long boat and making soup fish plus lots more!

World Book WOW Week  

2nd March - 6th March

We have a full week of engaging, stimulating and fun activities  planned. 

Read for meaning; read for fun is our motto!

We have many reading sessions when key skills such as:  questioning, clarifying, predicating and summarising are taught, encouraged and promoted to  help create confident and happy readers.

Let's talk, allowing groups and couples (reading buddies) time to discuss what they have read is KEY. It  allows children the opportunity to form opinions and enhance understanding. Be WORD AWARE!

The Makory Museum Bus Experience:

With the help of Gill Lynam, Liz Jackson and the Parish Council - we have secured a great, exciting experience for our Stanley children.  At the village hall, for a two hour session, each class will be led by Derby Museum Learning Facilitators, and get to  use the Makory Bus to focus on one-two of the following themes:

City

Transport

Industry

On Tuesday, 3rd March Kingfisher Class and Robin Class will have their session.

Wednesday, 11th March Puffin Class and Golden Eagles will have their session.

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle 

Let's exchange our books - let's be book smart!

Utilita (life with power) Energy Presentation

Year 5 and 6 had a visit from 'Fiona' from Utilita (life of power). To talk to the children about the company, about the future of the company, what they are aiming for in the future and how  we can help the planet and save money, for example the children learnt that if you turn your heating down by 1 degree you can safe £80. The children were quite shocked by some of the money saving ideas and where going to go home and tell their parents about them.  

They also had the opportunity to design a poster for a competition to explain how to save money and how this will help change the planet for the better. If their poster is the winning poster it will be made into a billboard and placed in Derby.

Our 'Makory' Experience by Derby Musuem.

The children had a look at the history of Derby, using maps from the past to the present day. They looked at the many differences between both maps identifying the expansion of roads and building, the decline of a railway line on Friar Gate and much more.

They were asked to think about what is needed in a city and what is important?

The children were then set a challenge to design  city of the future, they  included all the important features that they discussed earlier in the session: such as schools, hospitals, shops, transportation routes, an electricity plant etc.  You can see from the photos they had an amazing time designing and planning their city. The high-level thinking skills and discussions were amazing amongst the children. 

Additionally,  they had the opportunity to go on the 'Makory  Bus' which is a 'making factory' on wheels. The children designed their own badge, and used a badge press to make it.  They were shown many different artefacts in the bus and were told about the renovation of the 'Silk Mill' - which will be re-opened in September this year - focusing on design and ultimately be a 'Making Factory' .It will feature a plane engine descending from the ceiling which has been donated by Rolls Royce and much, much more.  

The children really enjoyed their experiences and wanted to go to the museum in September.
