Hercules | Brize Norton Primary School

Welcome to Hercules Class!

Welcome to the Hercules Home Page!

We have lots of wonderful Year 2 and 3 children in our class. To support us within the classroom we have the fantastic Miss Glenister, Mrs Deegan and Mrs Williams.

We believe that time within school needs to be happy and safe which in turn will promote successful learning. Work should be a challenge in order to build on previous knowledge. Children need to believe in themselves to be able to tackle any given challenges. Mistakes will be made along the way (by us too!) and this is OK! We need to learn from our mistakes and develop our knowledge to a greater depth.

We encourage the children in the class to speak out. If there are any concerns or successes, we want to know! And this is the same for parents. Please feel free to talk to us at any appropriate time. Unfortunately time can be limited for parents at the beginning or end of the day, but feel free to make an appointment and we will always make time for you. We are in a partnership to help develop your child’s independence, learning and happiness.

We look forward to what lies ahead these coming terms. We have many exciting things planned and we are looking forward to the Hercules class continuing to grow together.

Science discoveries!

To explore our Science work even further, this week we explored materials all around us.

We went on a material hunt to discover what things were made of certain materials, and why. The discussion of clothing made of bricks and houses made of wool made us all chuckle!

A little time to dance!!

To celebrate the end of my 'week' with the class, and to say thank you for a great start to the new school year, we had a five minute 'disco' before lunch today!!

Exploring Forest School

The children enjoyed exploring the site and spotting new additions from our Forest School shed and mud painting wall to another mud area with pretend fire and marshmallows to spark imaginations. The children drew with blackberry ink, sawed and drilled cookies, played on the drums and loved creating in the mud kitchen.
