We have been having lots of fun in the nursery. The children have been looking at the colour of their eyes and painting eye pictures. These are now up on display. We have also been singing along to The Runaway train and even made our own runaway train in the hall. Next week we shall be making Angel Delight faces.
Remember to leave any junk modelling bits in our box labelled junk modelling and to check our notice board for up and coming events.
Reception
Our story of the
week has been Goldilocks and the Three Bears. We have done lots of
different activities linked to the story. We have made puppets, masks and
flapjacks.
We have also
talked about our own families and made jigsaws puzzles using photographs.
Lexi (RB): “I
have enjoyed playing in the playground.”
Rosie (RF): “We
coloured in pictures of the three bears.”
The Reception
Team
Year 1
Class
1K have continued work on the Elves and Shoemaker story. The children are
enjoying changing the endings and deciding where the Elves might have
disappeared to.
In
maths we are learning about counting on 2 or 3 more of any given number. We
have used a variety of resources to help us…..including carrots and potatoes!
We
enjoyed a walk around the streets near school as part of our Geography lesson.
We took our whiteboards and pens and noted down significant landmarks. Once
back in class we made our own route maps for our friends who then followed our
directions.
In
science we enjoyed classifying different animals, those which live on land and
those which live in the sea.
Mrs
Kimberley and all the children in 1K
Hello everybody,
The children in 1B have been working really hard this week and have enjoyed their learning. Here are some of the activities that they have particularly enjoyed:
Daniel-I liked reading The Elves and the Shoemaker because I really like the pictures.
Camren- Likes handwriting; because he likes writing words.
Macy- I like to write in my Handwriting Book because I like learning how to write properly.
Tina- I enjoyed painting the elves because I like the colours.
Ruby- Letters and Sounds and French are fun because they are different.
Ailbhe- I liked playing Snakes & Ladders because it involves numbers.
Reanna- I like singing the Ning Nang Nong because I like looking at the pictures.
Ashley- I like to sing out Count by 10 song because we sing and clap.
Zoe- I like to concentrate on my phonics so I can learn.
Thank you children, have a great weekend.

Year 4
We have enjoyed
another busy week in Year 4. The children have been out to visit our school
pond to observe different organisms and have talked about how they have adapted
to live in their habitat.
The children have
also started their own stories based on the ‘Stig of the Dump’ book (they
enjoyed the popping candy tasting too).
In maths the
children have been learning about measuring including measurements in mm/cm/m
and km. They have also found out about perimeter and how to calculate this.
4E
In maths we have been looking at standard measures. There has been a great deal of practical measuring as well as completing recorded activities. We have also looked at measuring the perimeter of squares and rectangles. In English we have been preparing to write an adventure story. The children have started the opening of the stories, some are really gripping. Science this week has been looking at living things that have a pond as their habitat. The powerpoints on habitats in the ICT suite are coming along well and we hope to complete them next week. Our study of Egypt has continued by looking at artefacts. An added bonus was the fact the children were able to use the ipads to research. They thoroughly enjoyed this and have really increased their knowledge and understanding.

Year 5
This week we have looked at the
coal mines in Victorian times and how children had to work in them. It has made
us realise how lucky we are to go to school and we are really looking forward
to our mining experience next week in class.
In maths we are learning about
data and putting it into different types of graphs and charts. We are all a wiz
at data now so feel free to ask for our help at home!
We looked lovely and smart for
the whole school photo and 5W made Mrs Weddell very proud by standing so
patiently while waiting for the rest of the classes to get into position.
