I hope everybody had a relaxing
break. In nursery this term we are looking at traditional stories.
This week we have been listening to The Emperor’s New Clothes. The
children find this story very funny especially when the emperor parades along
the street almost naked. Our flavoured rice cakes have been very
successful with nearly all the children enjoying them. The caramel
flavour seemed to be the favourite. Everybody should now have a copy of
our nursery leaflet detailing all the up to date information. Please
remember to bring in things for your child’s learning journeys. Looking
forward to Stay and Play for parent/carers of girls tomorrow.
Reception
This
week in reception our learning has been focused around Room on the Broom by
Julia Donaldson. We have enjoyed reading the story and learning about rhyming
words. We have also made our very own witch’s spell by thinking of some very
interesting ingredients and learning how to write instructions! We have had
great fun designing our own brooms and making them using both natural and
man-made materials. In maths, we have been writing some fantastic number
sentences and learning all about addition and subtraction. Next week, we look
forward to reading more Julia Donaldson stories including The Smartest Giant in
Town!

1B
Hi everybody,
I think everybody is well rested after their Half Term holiday as
1B have come back thinking, learning and working really hard this week.
I am really pleased because quite a few children did their homework
and have brought in books or information about owls. This has really helped
with the children’s research and their learning about non-fiction books this
week. We have also been doing all kinds of Maths investigations and learning
about light sources which the children have all engaged in with much
enthusiasm.
Here are some of the activities that the children have enjoyed in
particular:
Karter- I enjoyed PE I liked watching the video of the owl when his
wings came up.
Martha-I liked the dance moves in PE
Reanna- I liked learning in Maths, we were using number cards to
count up to 20.
Joseph- When we wrote about owls I enjoyed it because I like owls.
Ruby- Using the laptops was fun because we were learning about
taking away on Education
City
Mercedes- I liked doing the Owl Dance in PE because I like dancing.
Ailbhe- I liked the Owl Dance because it was funny.
Jacob- Doing Magic Numbers in Maths was magic, we had to put
numbers in order to make other numbers.
Zoe- I liked going around the school with Emma looking for light
sources because I liked learning about my lights and darks.
Thanks for all your contributions children.
Have a great weekend.

In maths this week we have continued to look at fractions and
decimals. Using a number of fractions games has really helped learning. Our
theme for English this week has been poetry and we have looked at key elements
that can be included in a poem. We had a special treat with Mr Bird telling us
all about The human skeleton and we named lots of bones. This week for our
topic on schools we found out about schools in India
4E
4E have been working very hard
on their poetry recently. We have looked at poems by Kit Wright and Pie Corbett
and have focussed on using simile in our work. The poems we have produced have
been fantastic and we are very proud of them.
In Science we are beginning our
‘Moving and Growing’ topic. Our classroom has a new ‘bony’ member…We have
learnt the correct scientific names for some of the bones and found out some
interesting facts. Did you know an adult has 206 bones in the body but a baby
is born with over 300?
We have been lucky enough to
have Stuart the artist come to work with us on a Friday morning and have been
experimenting with special artist paints called Gouache paint. Our final art
work will be displayed in the school.
5W
5W
have had a busy week. We've learnt how to improve other writers stories using
our own words. We are great story tellers and will be writing our own stories
soon.
We
have all presented a short talk on our favourite subject to the class. Mrs Weddell
and Miss Withrington were extremely impressed and enjoyed every talk. We learnt
about guitars, comics, Greek mythology, animals, Muay Thai boxing, games and
books. We saw lovely pictures and great power points all which received
lots of well deserved applause.
