6th July


Nursery

It has been a busy week in Nursery.  We have been meeting our new teachers and for some of us, we have visited our new classrooms.  The children have all been very excited.    We have had lots of different activities to play with, both inside and outside the Nursery.  We have our fingers crossed for some more sunshine.
Have a good weekend. 

Reception

This week in Reception the children have been meeting their new teacher and having a go at some year 1 work!! They have all come back to the class in high spirits, full of enthusiasm and eager for their new classes to begin. In the afternoons we have been working around the topic of ‘Pirates’ and some children were lucky enough to go on their own pirate adventure. Overall the children have been very mature this week with all the changes that have taken place. Well done all of Reception.

Year 2

This week 2C have spent 3 mornings with their new teacher, Mr Sykes. Feedback from the children is that they are very excited. We have continued our theme on The Olympics and the children should now know some facts about the origins of the 5 circles. The children have also looked at Wenlock and Manderville, the Olympic mascots. They have thought about a number of words to describe the mascots and written sentences. In maths they have worked on division.
10 children from 2C went to The Infant Borough Sports, the weather was actually good. Well done, to all those who took part. The rest of the class were also able to play some games outside.

Year 3

Hello everybody!

We are all so excited about seeing the Olympic torch today. The Olympics has been a great topic to examine and explore; we have learned so much.

The children have also been really excited about meeting their new teacher and visiting their new class.

Here are some of their comments about what they have particularly enjoyed this week.

I liked when we went into our new classroom and drew our faces, and then we got a newspaper and cut out interesting things. After we had a book to read then afterwards we used what we read to practice our handwriting in silence. I enjoyed it, I like my new teacher and I will miss Miss Bernard- Holly

We made our own Olympic mascot and I liked it. Mine was Big Ben and I coloured it in red and it had a Christmas hat on it. I liked it when we were doing our paintings of Olympic vegetables and mine got picked for the competition.- Hann

This week I went up to Year 4 and Mrs Cornish was there we did a picture of Miss Ellis, our new teacher. We had to write some sentences about what we wanted to do in Year 4, I liked doing that.- Libby

I have really liked this week because we have made our Olympic mascots and we went to our new teacher and I really enjoyed it. For one of my Olympic mascots I have used the Olympic rings with legs, eyes and a mouth. I have also used the London Eye to a spider mascot. Ryan C

I have really enjoyed learning about the Olympics and I am really excited about seeing the Olympic torch. - Emma

Yesterday we did some games with Ian and Dan from Southend Football Club, we did relays, sprints and football matches.  I found it very entertaining because it was fun to do - James

What I have liked this week is when we went into our new classroom and met our new teacher on Monday. I enjoyed when we had to do self-portraits and my writing which I enjoyed because I don’t usually like seeing own writing, but I liked it then. – Ryan B


Thanks for your contributions children, hope it stays dry for us this afternoon.

Enjoy your weekend!
