Welcome to Cook Class

This year you will be taught by Mrs Sabic and Mrs Gabriel.

We have had a fantastic summer term. I hope that together we can make the spring term an even better one.

Our class assembly

This term we presented our class assembly to the parents and some of the other children. Our assembly included many facts about the world, we talked about famous  inventors and sung a few songs.

When the children were asked what the highlights of the assembly were they said:

Shenay was stupendous when she sung the lead on the song  "How far i'll go" from "Moana."

Clement confounded us with his skills on the recorder, playing the song "London's burning." 

And Alyssia astounded us when she spoke about John McAdam and his special method of making roads called  mcadamisation.

Alyssia explains that"Mcadamisation is a method of building roads. You basically put big stones on the bottom and little stones and gravel crushed up on the top to create a smooth hard road."

All of the parents and the children enjoyed the assembly  and he children would like to thank Mrs Sabic and Mrs Gabriel for  their patience and help  in making it happen :)

I am utterly amazed and proud of all the projects the children have completed as part of their STEAM homework this half term.

We have our own version of "The Tin Forest" in our classroom full of amazing creatures.

Please take a minute to take a look at them. I would once again like to thank all  of the Grown ups for their help with this project.

I hope you had as much fun making these as the children did.

Water Bottles - To help make sure your child is drinking enough each day they could bring in a water bottle to keep on our lunch time trolley. They can access this between breaks and at lunch.
