Reception

This week in Reception we have been learning about ‘The Enormous Crocodile.’ We have had lots of fun making a class crocodile and thinking about all the different characters he meets along his journey to  the village to catch his dinner. We thought about our own secret plans and clever tricks to catch our children to gobble up for our dinner. Thank you to all the homework returned this week, we look forward to  discussing all the different people who help us over the next couple of weeks.

Amy RW- ‘ I enjoyed being the crocodile and answering questions about the story.’

Hayden RF- ‘ I’ve enjoyed friendship Friday.’

The Reception team

Year 1

We have had such a busy week in 1B and it has absolutely whizzed by. We have been really enjoying listening to and learning about The Elves and The Shoemaker. We have created our own story map which has helped us to learn how to tell the story to each other. We also had lots of fun elfing ourselves; which involved cutting our faces out, sticking them onto a piece of paper and drawing an elf’s body. In maths we have tried really hard to learn our doubles up to 10; it was difficult, but we tried our best. It has been great fun dressing up for Roald Dahl Day. We have learned much more about him and we are looking forward to finding out more.

Thanks,

Miss Bernard and 1B

Year 4

We have had a very busy week again. In maths we have been looking at 2d shapes both regular and irregular. The children should also know the different types of triangles. We have continued reading ‘ Stig of the dump’ and have been looking at the friendship between the characters and picking out descriptive language. The children absolutely loved looking at woodlice and testing what habitat they preferred. We had an assortment of Egyptian artefacts in class and the children researched information on them.

4E have had a great start to the new school year. This week they have been very busy exploring their favourite new book, “This book is great” Ellie Morrisson. They have made a real dump in the classroom and have enjoyed creating inventions for it just like Stig.

The children have planned and carried out a Woodlice experiment to see which habitat they prefer. Thank you for all the woodlice we received! Next week we will return them outside to their natural habitat.

We have also been interested in drawing and researching some Egyptian artefacts. All of the children were very careful with them and took great care completing their pictures. Here is Sare’s favourite fact, “Did you know a lot of the Egyptians used to sit on the roof because it was cooler than being inside. People liked to sit and play with board games and talk.”

Year 5

5W have had another busy week. We have looked at Roald Dahl books and characters and discussed our favourites. Friday we had lots of interesting characters turn up to school, it was like being on the film set of Shrek, we all made a big effort.

The Victorians have appeared in more of our work, we have looked at the difference in Victorian schools and houses, we decided we prefer how we live today.

Reception

 

All the Reception children are having fun settling into our school routines and making new friends. Children and staff have enjoyed talking about our families and pets, singing our phonic songs, playing number games and thinking about shapes. Many of the children thought that the best experience of the week was doing PE in the hall!  Olivia said “I liked listening to stories” and Tripp said “I liked the number puzzles”.

Year 1

Year 1 have been extremely busy learning about Traditional fairytales. This week we have started The Elves and the Shoemaker and have enjoyed reading and watching different versions of the story. We have also changed characters and events to create our own stories. Some of us have been role-playing using characters in the story.

In maths we have been doing counting backwards and forwards in one`s and also addition and subtraction sentences using numbers 0-20.

1K have completed their animal masks in design and technology after working hard for two weeks on their designs. The masks have moving parts and look fantastic!

Year 2

 

Ahoy there me hearties!!

Well we can definitely say we had the most fun on Wednesday…although Mrs Collison sounded more like a farmer than a pirate we all tried hard to keep the pirate lingo going!  I think our most enjoyable moments were using co-ordinates to find the pirate treasure, learning ‘The Pirate Song’ and designing and making Captain Blackbeard’s pirate ship from over three hundred years ago. 

The rest of the week has also been very entertaining with lots of learning opportunities for finding the value of the hundred, ten and unit in a number and how forces were needed to pull the Enormous Turnip from the ground. Looking forward to some more great learning next week.

Have a happy and safe weekend.

Year 4

We have had a really busy week. In class we have started to read ‘Stig of the Dump’ and we are enjoying it. On Monday we made our own ‘dump’ in the classroom. Thanks to parents and Mrs Amran bringing in boxes and bits of trees. 

The children had worked hard on subtraction and also number bonds to 10, 100 or some children have gone into 1000s. In science we have started to look at habitats for different animals and have used the internet to help us.

Hopefully the children will be able to tell you a little more about Egyptians.
