Following on from our studies of the African continent Class VWe celebrated Black History month looking at inspirational black figures in history. We looked at Martin Luther King's I have a dream speech and wrote our own poetry with the title 'I have a dream'. We were blown away by the quality of writing and here is a sample of a few.
The children in Class SBRH have spent this half term creating the most wonderful masterpieces reflecting the famous jungle image by Henri Rousseau.
What a lot of talented artists we have! Thank you to Mrs Lucas for supporting the children in this project. See all the images on the website gallery
As we come towards the end of the first Autumn half term I would like to thank our parents and carers for all the understanding, involvement and support you have given us during this half term. What an incredible journey we have been on for the past 7 ½ weeks! I am so aware that you have had to cope with many new directives, suggestions and ideas, as we all try to do the best we can for our children at SRH.
The children have all been amazing. Firstly, as they seamlessly returned to school after so long away and secondly, as they continue to inspire the grown-ups by their infectious optimism and certainty that all will be well.
Next half term we will all continue to do the very best we are able for all our children and in the meantime I wish you all a very well deserved break next week.
Mrs H Picton, Headteacher
In Year 1, Class KB and Class JT are learning about France as part of our topic on Europe.
Today we enjoyed a wonderful French Café tasting a variety of foods.
Bon appetit!
For Harvest today Class KB learnt about why we celebrate harvest.
We had our assembly where we shared our food and
the class have coloured in pictures of fruit and vegetables in a basket.
We did some writing on what we are thankful for
and listened to 'Thank you, Lord, for this New Day'.
We ended the day with the Little Red Hen story talking about wheat and what we can make from it.
Year 6, Class VWe, started our harvest celebrations with reflection.
We explored the cocoa harvest in Sierra Leone and Ghana and explored the ideas of an 'ethical' harvest. The children designed their own chocolate bar which promotes fairness and justice for all farmers of the world.
We offered prayers for a good harvest and fairness to all farmers of the world, and then ended our celebrations by listening to our African song and celebrating African harvest art.
Thank you to all the children for their generous donations.
We are so thankful for the generosity of our families for your Harvest donations today.
We have a record number of boxes filled with tins, packets and jars which this year are being donated to Framlingham's Hour Community project, who make up food parcels for those in need in our community.
THANK YOU!
Today, the children in KVJA have been working hard in class and enjoyed learning
about harvests around our world, Fair Trade, harvesting with horses, writing
poems and more.
Thank you to everybody for their donations today. We are really pleased with all the generous offerings for our charity.
Sadly, we were unable to worship together as a school family face to face
at St Michael’s Church but we still enjoyed our special day and reflected on why
we celebrate at this time in the Christian calendar.
The Reception children in Class CH have been playing 'Farms' today and also they have been exploring wheat as part of our Harvest Day in school.
For our Harvest Day today in Class SBRH we discussed why we celebrate Harvest.
Together we looked at a variety of Harvest prayers and then wrote our own to be displayed in our class.
In class JT our Year 1 children have been reflecting on what we are thankful for.
During a harvest assembly, we discussed the variety of foods that had been donated. The children felt lucky and grateful that they have enough food to eat when other children in other parts of the country or world may not.
For our Harvest Day, Mrs Mawson has been recording some of our Year 4,5,6 children individually singing the classic Harvest hymn "All things bright and beautiful". We are very grateful to Mr Picton for cleverly combining these individual recordings to create this super version.
To accompany the singing are paintings created by our Reception children in class KM who printed apple tree images using real apples!
This is a recording of our Year 6 children standing in the pouring rain singing a wonderful African seed planting song 'Babe Thandaza'.
Thank you to Mrs Johnson for teaching the children this song in their music lessons.
Well done Year 6 pupils for your beautiful singing and the superb artwork of African Harvests which you can see on the video.
We will not be holding an Open Day at Framlingham Sir Robert Hitcham’s
CEVAP School this year, due to COVID-19 restrictions.
We do however have a virtual tour on our website
which may be of interest to prospective parents.
