Year 1 classes Robins and Ravens had a wonderful afternoon where they released the beautiful butterflies they had been caring for!. The children were fascinated to see them fly off high into the sky. You can see from the looks on their faces how much they enjoyed it!
It was No Pens Day Wednesday at Nightingale (fittingly it took place on a Thursday!) We used it as an opportunity to work on being able to effectively articulate ourselves to our peers. Children took this chance to speak to their classmates about a subject of their choosing. We were lucky enough to hear all about a variety of different things. Saya told us all about Islam and how Muslims celebrate at different times in the year while Isaac was able to give us a step by step account on how to achieve greatness in the world of gaming!
We were impressed with the skills our children used to engage their audience and emphasise important parts of their speech. Including utilising features of spoken language we had previously studied in Guided Reading: Intonation, tone and volume were important but we found the most crucial aspect of public speaking was appropriately selecting body language.
A while ago, Nightingale gave a debut to their brand new football kit in a first match between Co-op Academies Nightingale and Brownhill. The game was won by Brownhill however all involved agreed that football was the winner! Some excellent skills being shown off as well as teamwork, co-operation and all of the Co-op Values! Special thanks go to Mr. Simie and Mr. Bellwood for organising and running our Football Club.
We are already looking forward to our second game as Brownhill visit Nightingale for the return leg.

This term, Year 2 went to the Abbey House Museum for our memorable experience! We got to walk around different shops and houses in the Victorian times. We went to a workshop and learnt about Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria. We learnt lots of facts and did some sketching! We ate a delicious lunch in the Abbey and had lots of fun at the park as well!
Eagles have been getting creative over the last few weeks. After building their own volcanoes as part of their Innovate for the Rocks Relics and Rumbles project they applied this learning in a companion project: Ammonite.
They spent 2 weeks learning about ammonites, the work of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, spiral motifs, and creating a 2 colour block print. Check out our their incredible Artwork

Year 4 had a wonderfully creative afternoon when they reproduced some Saxon spears using images of historical artefacts to create their design, then constructing the spear with cardboard, foil, cardboard tubes and tape in place of what the Saxons would have used – metal and wood. They discussed with their teachers appropriate materials and why Saxons would have used these as well as what would be reasonable to create them with in the classroom.
Mr. Phillips was lucky enough to watch a live-action demonstration of how they might use their spears thanks to Alessandro and Almami!
