A wet and windy week, with lots
of nursery children being poorly with coughs and colds. Let’s hope we are
all better very soon. We have been continuing with our phonics and this
week the children learnt the T sound. They loved The Tiger who Came to
Tea by Judith Kerr with many of them wanting to have a tiger come to their house
for tea. You can access the story for yourself via You Tube. Next
week will be moving on to the P sound. Our Stay and Play session last
week for parent/carers of boys was very successful and l know many of you had
great fun making Incy Wincy Spiders. This week its parent/carers of
girls and you will have the chance to make a tiger mask with your child.
Remember to let me have any WOW! moments that can be updated in your child’s
learning journey. Also good luck to Andi on her first swimming lesson.
Reception
This week we have had great fun learning about Space.
The children have bought in some fantastic research, which we have talked about
in our classrooms. The Reception team would like to say thank you for all
the hard work that has gone into making and displaying their facts because it
has made this week a fantastic week of learning.
Linked to our week about space, the children have focused
their learning around “Whatever Next!” They have enjoyed the story about
Baby’s Bears adventure to the Moon. The children have thought about what
they would take with them if they were going to the moon and then wrote their
own list.
In Maths, we have been counting backwards.
Next week we are going to continue exploring space and look
forward to learning lots more interesting facts.

We have been extremely busy in maths,
learning about repeated addition and simple multiplication! In English we
have been reading the Three Little Pigs, looking at characters and the story
setting. We have started to change parts of the story ourselves and we now have
three bad pigs and a very kind wolf!
We have designed our fantasy creatures [on paper] and are looking forward
to making them out of paper mache next week

We have been working on estimating answers before we complete
column addition this week and also solving money problems. In English we have
been writing the next part of The Demon Headmaster and introducing our new
characters. For Science we have been experimenting on what materials will keep
a cup of water warm with the least temperature loss. We have finished our
letters to Eastbury primary and will be sending them off next week. Letters
have been written to Mum’s to invite them in for next Thursday.

This week we have been refining
our instruction skills. First, we looked at the instructions for a card trick
(which we mastered), then Mrs Johnston modeled the instructions for ‘How to
Trap a Pesky Goblin’, finally we wrote our own instructions for ‘How to Trap an
Annoying Alien’. We have been quite creative in devising the entrapment
of creatures from outer space!
In maths, we have been improving
our mental maths skills by looking for number bonds and near doubles – Mrs
Johnston is really pleased with our progress.
We have also looked at the
phases of the moon – we should now know the difference between a waxing and
waning gibbous moon! Do you?
5W
We have had a busy week writing instructions on
how to trap pesky goblins and annoying aliens. We have designed and are now
very excited as we will be making our own annoying aliens out of clay this
week.
5W had an exciting package from our
link school in France, we received Bonne Annie (Happy New Year) cards and some
photos to see what they were getting up to in class.
Year 6
Well year 6 have been busy practising for SATs this week and they now
realise they need to keep revising at home…practise makes perfect……………. We are
all rather excited at the prospect of a school trip and also a visit from Mrs
Blatcher’s mum, who will be talking about her experiences as a real evacuee in
World War 2….can’t wait
