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.’

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.
