Our Wonderful Inquiry Work
Our Wonderful Inquiry Work
David Attenborough
It's a busy term for Year 6! After coming back from the residential trip, we are now rehearsing for our end of year production, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as preparing for our PYP exhibition and transition days at our new secondary schools.
For the PYP exhibition, children have independently chosen a world issue that they would like to focus on and are then creating an exhibition around this and the action that is being taken to support the issue. They are in charge of creating this and presenting it in their own way and ensuring it links to a world sustainable development goal.
We can't wait to share our hard work with you!
Our rehearsals for the production are also going well, the children know their parts and have lines that they need to learn. Copies of the script are on the Google classroom. Please help support your children by ensuring they are practising their lines at home as some people have quite a few! We are super excited to perform this at Haven and show everyone the superstars that we are!
Banksy
Year 2 have had lots of fun in Module 6 already! The children have been learning about lots of different artists and the history behind all their fantastic artwork.
The children have loved learning about Quentin Blake and exploring his style of artwork. The children experimented with different styles of pens by drawing different facial features of some of the famous Roald Dahl characters. The children then drew a self-portrait using rollerball pens and/or fine liner pens in the style of Quentin Blake.
Year 2 did super well in their class assembly on Wednesday. They all worked extremely hard to learn and say their lines loud and clear. Well done Year 2, you should be very proud of yourselves!

Express Yourself
The children have been celebrating 'Express Yourself' week. We had the pleasure of having ArtyParty come into school to complete two amazing sculptures for the school.
Throughout the week different groups from each class joined ArtyParty to add to the sculptures and collaborated as a whole school to finish.
Please ensure that you look out for our finished models in school and in the school office.
English at PEPA
This term, the children have been working exceptionally on their English writing. Each class has a core text which they read during their reading lessons and in turn, the text supports their writing outcomes. Please view the slides to see the wonderful writing each class has produced so far this term.
Goodbye and Good luck to Reverend Gwilt
This week, after over 20 years of working with schools on the peninsula, Reverend Gwilt gave his last assembly at PEPA before he leaves to enjoy retirement. He was overjoyed at the card which the pupils had worked together to make for him! We are lucky to have enjoyed his Thursday assemblies for many years, and have learnt a lot about Christianity.
We wish him all the best for the future.
Wishing all the best to Mr Reedman
Mr Reedman has been supporting our year 3 class on a temporary basis since March earlier this year. At the end of July, Mr Reedman will be moving on to explore new opportunities as with an interest in future teacher training. We would like thank him for all of the support he has given the year 3 class over this time and supporting Miss Spinola. We wish him all the very best for the future.
Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 Open Afternoon
Thank you to all the parents and carers who were able to join us for the Open Afternoon this week. We hope you enjoyed the opportunity to see the children's work and celebrate their inquiries. We will look forward to next year's Open Afternoon Events.
