A Christmassy Musical Week
Our Choir
Our amazing choir represented the school beautifully this week at Winchester Cathedral. They sang amazingly and looked very smart. Well done everyone.
Christmas Fair
Thanks to everyone who attended the Christmas Fair this Friday and to the fabulous Friends of Stanmore for all their hard work. We had a great performance from Integrate and it was lovely to see everyone enjoying themselves.
R2L
This week, R2L have been thinking about the impact of having kinds hands and feet.
We all agreed that having kind hands and feet meant that other children were more likely to want to play with us and that adults are more likely to trust us with precious things.
We demonstrated how marvellous our hands and fabulous our feet are by playing co-operative games such as football. We also had lots of fun making creative festive crafts in preparation for decorating our beautiful Christmas tree.
Maple
Children in Maple Class (Y1) have been practicing their number bonds to 10. To help them remember, they made some 'handy hands' which they can use at home to practice them quickly and speedily!
Rowan
This week Rowan class had their Listen 2 Me concert to parents. Over the past term they have been learning to play different songs on the ukulele by plucking and strumming. They achieved an excellent performance and impressed everyone in the audience. They showed their keys to success over the term in their resilience and persistence to learn to play to such a high standard. We are very proud of them.
Well done Rowan class.
Sycamore
Sycamore class were invited to attend a fantastic school trip earlier this week at Winchester College. First, they saw some genuine Anglo-Saxon coins that were over 1,000 years old at the Treasury and then they were treated to a live music concert of ‘Peter and the Wolf’.
This week in Apsen's music lesson we have been working on our own pentatonic scales and mirror music. The children then performed their pieces to the class.
Elm
This week Elm class have been finishing their Maafa topic and explored how Africa was colonised after the abolishment of the slave trade. The children thought really carefully about the topic and were able to express their views through discussion and questioning. In RE the children explored two different versions of the nativity and compared the versions written by Luke and by Matthew.
