Mood Music
This afternoon, Year 3 worked in groups to create an composition inspired by the weather. They discussed what feelings can be represented by different types of weather and create sounds to match each mood.
School Librarian of the Year
This week, Miss Cleveland, Mrs MacDonald and Mrs Whetstone travelled to London for the finals of the School Librarian of the Year competition. As the only primary school included in the finals, Cannon Park made quite an impression thanks to the efforts of Miss Cleveland the four children, who joined the staff for the day.
Value Certificates
Well done to our certificate winners this week, who have displayed our Cannon Park Values.
Chris Priestly Visit
We were delighted to welcome the author, Chris Priestley, to work with Years 5 & 6. He talked about his life as an author and illustrator, and showed the children how to ‘characterise’ a drawing. We then had a go at drawing ourselves as pirates. Huge thanks to Kenilworth Books and Bloomsbury Children’s Books for bringing Chris to our school for the afternoon.
Relative Clauses
Year 6 have been working hard this afternoon to turn simple sentences into complex sentences using relative clauses. They worked in pairs to identify the nouns in each sentence and adding in suitable relative clauses.
Drumming
Over the past few weeks, Year 5 have been learning how to play the drums as one big group. It has been great to see such amazing teamwork in action.
Celebration Assembly
It was lovely to hear how the children are demonstrating our Cannon Park Values during assembly this morning. Teamwork came out as a popular value this week. Here are some of our winners:

European Language Day
To celebrate European Language Day, Year 6 made their very own salsa. The children demonstrated excellent teamwork skills as well as discipline in translating the instructions from Spanish. Aside from a few tears while the onions were being chopped, everyone had a great time!
Wildlife Club
A group of adventurous children enjoyed taking part in an informative and exciting after school club to learn more about wildlife. This week, we made bird nests using natural materials found in the school grounds.
