Today, Stibbard was overrun with some amazing adjective costumes to celebrate World Book Day. One of the activities on offer was to decorate a potato.  Year 2 and Year 5/6 CB worked together to create fun designs and did a fantastic job. We all had lots of book fun and learned lots of new adjectives.

This afternoon we joined Yr 5/6 CB and Yr 2 together to create potato heads. There was lots of imagination, paint, glue and sticks around the classroom. The children worked really well together. After we had finished we viewed the work created in Yr2.

The children made a great effort at thinking about an adjective to describe who they were today. We had scary, special, black, snappy, lazy, sleepy, sporty, brave, camouflage, cosy and frightening.

The children have really enjoyed this half terms art project called Brave Colour. They made mood boards using different fabrics and media before starting to create their shoe box art colour rooms.

The finished results of the art project. It was lovely to hear the encouraging comments from everyone to each other about their colour boxes.

Children from both 5/6 classes attended the KS2 dodgeball competition at the UEA SportsPark. The children played incredibly well and showed excellent sportsmanship throughout the event. The children won several games and managed to finish 6th overall.

We are looking at a unit of Art called Brave Colour. Last week the class made amazing books to make notes in for their art in this unit. They were bold with their choices and enjoyed creating their sketchbooks. This week we focused on a London artist called Yinka Llori. He enjoys working with very bold and brave colour combinations. He created a design for a basketball court in Canary Wharf which really inspired the children to have a go at designing their own court.

We welcomed Open the Book this week. They told the story about the people of Jerusalem returning to their home city, after being slaves, to help rebuild it. Nehemiah encouraged the people to persevere and keep going.

On Friday we enjoyed making hats ready for our Christmas dinner. Everyone looked so colourful and sparkly in their Christmas jumpers, we had a great time!
