Schools Somerfords’ Walter Powell School As we approach the end of Term 1 at school, we are very proud of all our children on how they have adapted to the new school procedures and settled back into the school routine. The Reception children have been busy among other things, learning about numbers and letters through play. They have been developing social skills such as turn taking, sharing and improving their listening skills.
We have made the most of the nice weather and enjoyed PE lessons outdoors as well as quiet reading time and thankfully the autumn sunshine has been fantastic to make the most of our school grounds for playtimes too.
Key stage 1 children have enjoyed learning about our senses and have even learnt some sign language. Our children in Key stage 2 have been learning about properties and changes in materials during their science lessons. They created their own circuits as they discovered more about conductors and insulators. They continue to learn about the Saxons and all enjoyed getting hands on with making Saxon walls with wattle and daub
Harvest We celebrated Harvest in a slightly different way this year due to the current restrictions. We were delighted that Matt Stone the new Curate for the Woodbridge Group of Churches joined us for a virtual harvest service. Virtual Assemblies We have enjoyed virtual assemblies with Matt Stone and also Trevor Ranger which we all thoroughly look forward to and enjoy. Signpost November 2020
