Nursery
We have been continuing with our
Traditional story theme in nursery and this week we have listened to The Ugly
Duckling in preparation for Easter activities next week. The children
love the story, especially the song. We are building up our supply of
saucepans and cds so thank you for your contributions. Anymore
would be greatly appreciated. We are hoping to visit the schools
allotment area next week to see the chickens and rabbits but this adventure is
weather permitting. Show and Tell proved very popular this week with it
being free choice. We continued this theme in PE and the children had
free choice of bean bags, hoops, balls and crash mats.
Reception
This week the Reception classes have continued to think about
creatures that hatch from eggs and have been learning particularly about the
life cycle of chickens. We are visiting the school chickens in small groups to
find out how to look after these birds so that they lay eggs. We have used eggs
and models of creatures that hatch from eggs to write subtraction sentences and
have thought about the way snakes move by sliding, slithering wiggling and curling
in PE. This has been a very successful topic to develop learning.
1B
Hello Everybody,
1B have worked very hard this week; as always. But they
have worked extra hard at their assessments and produced some fantastic
results.
Here are some of the activities that some children have
enjoyed in particular:
Amantha- I liked doing my spellings because I get to
think about how to spell.
Joseph- I enjoyed the Reading Test because I get to read
difficult words.
Mercedes- The Owl Dance in PE was fun because I like to
dance.
Jake- Writing about owls was good because they have sharp
beaks.
Camren- I liked the Maths Test because I like learning
new things.
Ruby- The owl puppets was my favourite thing because I
liked colouring it.
Tina- I enjoyed making the owl puppets because I like
making things.
Jacob- I enjoyed playing the Easter Game because I like
Easter.
Jack- I liked making the Easter Game because when you
play it, it is fun.
Thanks for all of your contributions children.
Have a great weekend.

Year 2
Hello there from Scaturi Hospital!
As I type, I can see many infected and wounded soldiers whose brave
efforts in the Crimean War are being soothed by kind, thoughtful and hygienic
nurses. These nurses have been trained by a British nurse called Florence
Nightingale who has taught them how to become a successful and compassionate
nurses.
Here is what Florence’s nurses and the injured soldiers have said
they enjoyed the most this week….
Sergeant Collins said ‘I lost my left arm after I was wounded in
Crimea. Nurse Seath was kind and thoughtful and helped me get better! I
still have lost my arm but I feel blissful that someone so kind took care of
me.’
Nurse Dawson said ‘I loved learning how to measure nurses weight
and height to see if they could be trained by Florence Nightingale ’
Sergeant Thornton said ‘I enjoyed helping my country in Crimean War
and when I was hurt I had lovely, fully trained nurses to help me along with my
chopped off leg!’’
Nurse Shields said ‘I loved looking around the Scaturi
Hospital. There was a medicine station, a training room and ward for wounded
soldiers.’
Have a lovely weekend!
The Year 2 team
4CA
This week has been busy. There
have been assessments for the end of term with tests in Maths, Reading and
writing. Apart from that we have continued to look at area in Maths. For
English we have looked at changing parts of sentences from ‘The Demon
Headmaster’ and have reda some more chapters. IN science we worked in groups to
answer the question ‘ Is there a link between height and foot size and between
boys and girls?’ The whole class really enjoyed this activity. In ICT we made
our own branching tree diagram using what interests us. So we had things like
Star wars, animals, Dr Who etc.
4E
4E have been enjoying their work on area and perimeter this
week and have been putting their good knowledge to the test in a mental maths
test. They were all pleased to see they had beaten their scores from last time!
In PE the children
have been doing Tag Rugby. It’s clear we already have rugby stars in the
making! We are hoping to have rugby match outside when it finally warms up a
bit.
The children looked fantastic with their ‘crazy’ hair on Red
Nose Day and were really pleased with the amount of money they raised for some
great causes. They especially enjoyed the delicious cakes at break time.
Our last week of the Spring term is quickly approaching and
we can’t believe how fast the time has gone. We are looking forward to an
exciting last week at school.
Year 5
Year 5 have had a great week.
For us that stayed behind we have totally enjoyed our ‘Week of Brilliance’. We
had Nightline on Monday and got very muddy but enjoyed every second. Tuesday we
made biscuits at Chase and the visited Chalkwell Park for fun and games.
Wednesday we went to the Planetarium for a space talk and after lunch went to
the library. We had great fun dressing up in the fancy hats and fairy wings,
especially the boys! On Thursday we had our camping experience on the field. It
was hard work putting up Mrs Weddell’s large tent, but we worked as a team and
got it up. We had a BBQ and enjoyed our parent visitors coming to share the
experience. Friday will be a day of relaxing and putting together our scrap
books of all our exciting activities of the week. We will all sleep well this
weekend!
