Reception
A BIG thank you to all the mums and other relatives/
friends that came to visit us on Thursday. We hope you had a lovely day. The children really enjoyed sharing their
learning with you. Thank you to those
mums that shared a skill with the children.
This week in Reception we have continued our learning
about Space. The children have shared
their own facts and we have researched new ones within our classes. Linked to the story of Whatever Next, the
children made some sandwiches and went on their own rocket ride adventure to
the moon!! Landing back in the classroom with a BUMP!
Within Maths we have been looking at shapes... Both 2D
and 3D. The children have used these
shapes to make their own rockets and space pictures.
We have had a brilliant response to our WOW stars and the
children continue to share their achievements with the other children.
Finally, thank you to those people that came in on Friday
to look at our Learning Journeys. We hope you enjoyed sharing these with your
child and were impressed with just how much they have achieved so far!
Another busy week.

Hello everybody,
How time flies when you’re having fun! We have had such a great
week. Learning about telling the time on the hour and half hour: exploring Data
Handling through looking at Block Graphs, Pictograms and Tally Charts and using
money to do Addition and Subtraction activities. In English we have thought
about the key factors that make up a successful set of instructions. The
children have really enjoyed learning all about Bossy Verbs.
We also had a really great day with all of the mums, nans and grans
that came to Bring a Mum to School Day yesterday. Thanks to all who attended.
Here are some of the things that the children have particularly
enjoyed this week:
My favourite thing was decorating and making cakes on Bring a Mum
to School Day- Ruby
I liked making balloon animals and painting because I like
painting.- Tina
I enjoyed the 3 Little Pigs dance because I like dancing- Martha.

Hello everyone!
We hope you had lots of fun on Thursday when some of you came to
see us for the newly named ‘Bring a Lady to School Day!!’ We loved having
you share the day with us. Thank you.
Here’s what the children have said they enjoyed this week
Sophie said ‘I loved it when my mum came and help weigh ingredients
in kilograms and grams to make Rice Krispie cakes. They tasted yummy!’
Harry said ‘My mum showed me how to sew. I was very proud of
my sewing and I can’t wait until I decorate my puppet with my design.’
Have a happy and safe weekend
Year 2
4CA
We have had a really
busy week in 4CA. In maths we have been learning a number of times tables and
in particular the 6x table and also looking at the inverse using division. We
have been looking at adjectives and powerful verbs in The Demon Headmaster as
well as looking at how to describe a persons feelings by inference. Our Science
looked at how we could slow down the process of a lolly melting. In ICT we
worked on our keyboard skills and correcting a piece of text.
It was fantastic having so many mum’s come in and work with us.
They all really entered into the spirit of classroom life.

5J
As usual, we have had a busy week in 5J. We have
continued with our instructions – first we made rockets, then we wrote
instructions for someone else to follow. We are much better at writing
introductions and conclusions to our instructions now. In maths, we have
improved our skills at rounding when adding and subtracting as well as using a
number line. In science, we made line graphs on paper and using ICT to
show the difference between sunrise and sunset in the UK for 2013.
Today was ‘Bring a Mum to School Day’ – it was great to see
so many mums. The class planted tomato seeds, played netball, iced
biscuits, learned how to draw a rose and what it is like to live in
Canada. They taught their mums how to find the area and perimeter of complex
shapes, helped them translate some letters from France, together they learned
how to make origami boxes.
Thank you to all the mums and grans who visited us today –
we hope you enjoyed your time with us.
