Nursery
All go again in nursery and a big welcome to Mrs Gue who is
our new nursery nurse in the afternoons. We had fantastic fun with
the parachute on Thursday. The pictures will be on display in the nursery
lobby area. Our topic this half term is ‘Health and Growth’ and we will
be looking at how we are growing and the importance of a healthy diet.
Reception
This week all the children have returned to school ready and
eager to learn. I’m sure you will agree with me that it appears that all the
children have shot up over the holidays and are nearly as tall as some of the
members of staff! It is lovely to have everyone back safe and in such a
positive mood and keen to learn. We have kicked off the term with a fabulous
topic of ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’ and the children have thoroughly enjoyed
finding out about bears and learning the story. We even went on our own bear
hunt, only to find that when we returned to the classroom it had tiptoed past
us into our classroom and made it all messy!!! Our teachers were not amused but
we had a great fun preparing, writing and thinking about all the things we
would need to take with us in case we came across a bear!! Next week we will be
continuing this topic with lots more exciting activities ahead, so watch this
space for the next instalment on how to catch a bear and some of the children’s
comments on what they have enjoyed.
Just a polite reminder, Please do not forget trip letters
and money need to be returned to us ASAP as we need to confirm numbers
attending and we also need to pull parents’ names out of a hat due to the huge demand
of parents who are able to help. If we could we would love to take all of you
but due to space on the coach we all feel it’s only fair we pull names from a
hat. Thank you once again for your support on trips as it makes the day lots of
fun for everyone.
Have a lovely weekend (Let’s hope the sun shines)
The Reception Team
4CA
4CA have been very busy this week. We have been looking at
the grid method for multiplication. In English we have been thinking of
persuasive language to get parents to send their children to The Demon
Headmasters school! We have started a new history topic and will be looking at
The Tudors this term, this week we have drawn a timeline and researched about
the Tudors in the ICT suite. We have PE specialists in for this term teaching
our lessons.
5J
It was lovely to see everyone back after the holidays ready
for another exciting week in 5J.
On Monday, we had an introduction to cricket which went very
well – anyone who is interested in cricket club should see Miss Wise or Mr
Sykes.
Our DT module this term involves making biscuits for which
we went to Chase. The teacher leading the session was very impressed by
the independence of our pupils and their enthusiasm for washing up as well as
baking!
The highlight of Wednesday was the PE session using scooter
boards – pleased ask your child to describe what happened in that
session! It was fast, furious and excellent for team building. The
class learned that points do not always mean prizes particularly in terms of
driving! We are all looking forward to next week’s session. Please make
sure your child has a PE kit in school at all times – including suitable
footwear for outside.
Our topic this term is ‘Ancient Greece’ so please help your
child look out for pictures and information.
Year 6

all you can.
