International week: This week in Reception we have been learning about
Africa. Our activities have been linked to Handa's Surprise. The
children have been looking at African artefacts and listening to African
music. The children enjoyed tasting food from the story.
Thank you to those children who have completed their Elmer homework. We
had some lovely pieces of work that will be displayed in the classrooms.
Also thank you to those parents that have helped us explore Africa by
bringing in some interesting objects and pictures.

Jambo!
That’s hello in Swahili… can you guess which country we have been learning about this week…..Hooray you got it right, its KENYA!
Here is what the children have said they enjoyed this week
Maxim said ‘I loved making Handa’s Basket. I had to think carefully about making 3D shapes and my Kenyan name is Halabon!’
Adomaa said ‘I enjoyed giving Handa instructions. I pretended to be a policeman to help Handa not lose her fruit. I used an IPad to film me saying my imperative verbs.’
All have a safe and happy weekend!

Year 4
4E have had a busy few weeks
again! We greatly enjoyed having some ‘blokes’ in our class last Thursday as
part of ‘Bring a Bloke to School’ day. We hope they enjoyed it too.
This week has been
‘International Week’. 4E has been studying Egypt in detail. We have looked at
the flag, listened to their National Anthem and made our own Egyptian dances in
PE. On Thursday we all cooked and ate some Egyptian Palace Pudding. Here are
some of the words the children used to describe it: Chewy, tasty, sweet,
crunchy, delicious and moreish!
The children are really enjoying
their reading too. We are still reading ‘Stig of the Dump’ as a class and the
children are busy reading their own books too. Please hear your child read as
often as you can at home as well as asking them some questions about the book
they are reading.
