Reception
This week we have had fun learning more about the life cycle of butterflies
and watching our class caterpillars growing from being tiny to getting much
longer and fatter. They will go into the cocoon stage soon! We have thought
about our own life cycles and the changes we go through from being a baby to
being grown up. In maths we have been using different objects, like hands and
feet, to help us measure how long things are. We have also been very lucky to
have two important visitors talking to us about their jobs: on Tuesday Maureen
Friday talked to us about being a farmer in Kent and told us all about the
different foods and animals on her farm, on Thursday Trevor Cox told us about
being a fireman and how we could keep ourselves safe by testing out fire alarms
once each week.
1B
Hello
Everybody,
In class 1B
we have been having so much fun with our learning this week. Our topic is
“under The Sea” and we have been listening to and learning the story “The
Smallest Whale”. There are some excellent readers in our class and we had a little
competition where the boys and girls read to see who could work as a team the
best when reading the story. This time the girls won. We are going to have a
return match next week to see who wins then.
In Maths, we have been comparing, ordering and rounding
numbers to the nearest 10. All of 1B have done very well; but found rounding up
and down a bit of a challenge.
Tomorrow we
are having our Philosophy Morning and we are looking forward to parents coming
in to observe how good we are at thinking in 1B.
Here are
some of the activities that the children have enjoyed in particular this week:
Camren- I
liked doing PE because I have never done something like that before.
Reanna- I
liked when we did Stacking Cups in PE because I liked making a 3 sided pyramid.
Evie- I
liked my Holiday Timeline because it was fun.
Jacob- I
enjoyed the PE lesson stacking pyramids because I enjoy sports.
Mercedes- I
have liked making Father’s Day cards because I enjoyed decorating it.
Leo- When we
did the pyramids in PE I really enjoyed it.
Joseph- I
enjoyed the Year 6 Enterprise Day because it was full of exciting things.
Ashley- I
enjoyed reading “The Smallest Whale” because it is fun.
Amantha-
The Year 6 Enterprise Day was really fun.
Zoe- I got
my nails painted at the Year 6 Enterprise Day. It was fun and ai got them done
for free.
Thanks for
your contributions children.
Have a great
weekend,
Miss Bernard

As always
this has been a very busy week. For maths we have been working on coordinates
both in the four quadrants and also on Ordinance Survey maps. For English we
have been looking at discussion text linked to The Demon Headmaster. In Science
we all completed an experiment on what happens when we add solids to liquids
and if we can filter them. Some children may want to try this at home. In ICT
we finished our bee posters and then went onto the maths zone to further
improve our understanding of coordinates. For History we looked at Mary Tudor and
her reign and then in groups made up a song to include as much history as
possible.
Year 6
Thank you to
everyone who supported year 6 we raised over £300 towards our year 6
outings . Business Enterprise Day was fantastic and the children had the best
day ever!
