Nursery

In nursery this week we were visited by policewoman Jan and policewoman Lisa.  They told us all about the different vehicles the police use.  We even got to try on a police hat and coat.  The children have enjoyed this week’s story The Rainbow Fish by Marcus Pfister and especially liked his shimmering scales.  Then to help get us ready for transition we have been going for walks around school and now know where all the dinners get cooked.

Hello Everybody,

This week has flown by even quicker, I think that it is because all of Year 1 had a great trip to Shoebury East Beach on Monday.

The focus of the trip was to fire up the children's imaginations for our "Under The Sea" topic. They collected lots of different types of shells and we had a competition. Each type of shell was worth a certain amount of points and each added their points up to see who had the most. The group who won had over 1000 points!!
Each also created their own sand sculptures and decorated them with shells and other found materials. They were really amazing , the children really thought carefully about their ideas.

Well done to all of Year 1 for being so well behaved .

Here are some of the activities that the children have particularly enjoyed this week:

Reanna- I liked throwing bean bags in the hoops in our PE lesson.
Macy- Going to the beach was fun. I liked making the sculptures because I like making stuff.
Camren- I liked my Maths assessment because I like learning.
Bailey- PE was good because I like doing things to make me better at throwing.
Jack- I liked PE because throwing helps me to do other things.
Leo - I like throwing bean bags that's why PE was fun.

Thanks for your contributions children.

Have a great weekend.

Miss Bernard

We have been very busy doing end of term tests this week. But we have still managed to do some work on adding money, discussion texts and starting a science topic on Friction. So there is not much to say this week.

This week got off to an exciting start for Year 5 with a visit to Chase High for an Enrichment Day.  During the visit our pupils had the opportunity to experience art – printing patterns on bunting; drama; math; English; food technology – tasting biscuits; technology- making monster torches; media – using Photoshop to create a video cover; science –exploring the fat content of a variety of foods; textiles – using sewing machines to make bookmarks and  history – the history  of video games.
During the rest of the week the class have worked hard completing their end of year  assessments – today we are working on our art entries for Southend in Bloom.
