20th September 2013

Reception 

This week in Reception we have been looking at the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  The children have talked about the story and then started to tell their own stories. 
We have been learning lots of songs to help us with our learning... If you haven't heard our 'days of the week' song.. Ask your child to sing it for you! :0) 
On Tuesday we had a visit from an author... Jeremy Strong. He talked to us about the funny books he writes. 
We had our picture taken for the Echo on Wednesday... We will let you know when it will be in the paper. 
Thank you to those parents that have made an appointment for parents evening next week. We are looking forward to talking to you about how your child has settled in to school. 



Have a good weekend. 


Year 4

4L and 4E have had a very exciting week, participating in lots of wonderful activities. 4L have been searching for bugs and their habitats during their outdoor learning session and were excited to talk about the fox den.  The school was very lucky to have a visit by the famous children’s author Jeremy Strong. He read an extract from his book ‘Cartoon Kid’ and the children were able to ask lots of interesting questions.
In year 4 we have now started to read ‘Stig of the Dump’ by Clive King. The children thoroughly enjoyed building a den on the school field. Everyone took part and worked together as a team. It was great sitting inside the den after it was made! 


Year 5

Year 5 have had a fun week in science, it started with a big BANG! We have weighed air, think about how you might weigh air then ask us about it. We have started reading our class books. It has been lovely to see lots of children reading beautifully out loud to the class. We have been learning lots of new and unusual words. In P.E we played our first game of lacrosse, the teachers were impressed by how quickly we learnt the new skills. It has been a good week for everyone!
