Year 6 Theatre Trip

On Wednesday, Year 6 departed

the School with Mrs Prescott,
Mrs Lippard and Mrs Mason.
The children knew that they
were going to the theatre and
also being treated to lunch
out...but the destination of
both was a well kept secret!

When everyone was on the

train, Mrs Prescott finally
ended their suspense and
revealed the production that
they were going to see. The
news was received with cheers
of delight, when she
announced that they would be
going to the Apollo Theatre to
see 'Wicked'. They were also
thrilled to know that they
would be going to eat in
'Giraffe' first, as many of them
had not been there before.

It was a wonderful afternoon,

with everyone thoroughly
enjoying the food and as for the
performance.....the claps and
cheers from Year 6 spoke for
themselves. It was a real
delight to take the children out,
as their behaviour was
impeccable and this was
commented on by a member of
the public.

Mrs Prescott and all of Year 6 would like to thank Bronte

Friends for paying for this memorable treat for the
children's last term at Bronte School.

KG and Reception Trip

Reception and Kindergarten Classes enjoyed a visit to the Gurdwara this week as part of our work
to develop understanding about how we are all different. Some of the children were very proud to
share their 'special place' with their friends. Everyone was made to feel very welcome indeed.

Cookery Club – Session 1

yummy success! The children got creative cleared out!!!
while making their 'Rainbow Fruit Kebabs
with Dipping Chocolate'. We had very
sensible chopping, very precise skewering
and perfect swirly drizzling of the
chocolate on top!

Well done to our chefs!

Cave Lesson.
What is the best way to write a detailed setting description?

Well, the children in Year 4 were asked this question and decided that first hand experience was the best
way to write a setting description. So off they went to the School Hall, where the stage had been set up in
the form of a cave. With cold air blowing in, water dripping onto their heads, echoing sounds around them
and a dark passage to pass through, Year 4 certainly were in cave setting of their own. Although
apprehensive about crawling into the cave, the children were certainly buzzing afterwards and once in the
classroom they excitedly wrote words and phrases, using their senses to describe their experience.

Watch this space for their setting descriptions and see for yourself how they compare to the original
description from the book we are reading. The adventures of Odysseus.
