Nursery
With lots of new children
starting in nursery it has been a very busy week. The children are
settling well and especially enjoyed PE when they got to use the crash
mats. Please remember to label all your child’s clothing. Our ‘Stay
and Play’ sessions will commence Friday 27th Sept and will be for girls.
Next week we shall looking at our names and rolling dice.
Year 3
This week year 3 have had a lot of fun writing
poems. We have been looking at list poems and have been stretching our
imaginations to come up with the most unusual and individual ideas as we could.
We have begun our project on The Romans and have found out lots of disgusting
facts. Did you know that the Romans used to eat flamingo tongue and afterwards
would brush their teeth with mouse brains! Eugh! In maths we have been learning
about place value and partitioning numbers. The children are becoming very
confident with place value now and some children were thinking about numbers
with millions! In science we were looking at light and shadows and the children
are really looking forward to experimenting with the torches and other
equipment. Next week we will be visited by the author Michael Rosen so the
children could look at books written by him over the weekend.
Year 4
Welcome back to Year 4 children and parents! 4E and 4L have
had a great start to the new term and have already learnt a lot and had some
fun. The term has started with a ‘Poetry Week’. The children have been busy
reading and writing poetry. Some of their favourites were by the fantastic poet
‘Michael Rosen’ who visited our school last year.
Year 4’s new science topic is ‘Habitats’ and this week and next
week Year 4 have had the chance to go out into the school grounds to explore
the wildlife we have there. Some of 4E have already discovered a red ant’s
nest, a bee’s nest and even two slow worms!
We can’t wait to discover what 4L will find next week!
