Reception
This week in
Reception we have been thinking about staying healthy. We have thought about
healthy eating and exercise. The children have talked about the
importance of having fruit or vegetables and each day we have looked in our own
lunch boxes to check. We have also had a selection of healthy snacks each
day.
On Monday we
ate our homework! The children were asked to bring in a piece of fruit for a
tasting session. We loved this!
On Wednesday
we had a visitor from a Bollywood dancer. She taught us some Bollywood moves
and we really really enjoyed the dancing.
It has been a
lovely week. Have a good weekend.

We have been working on 2D shapes in Maths. We have put
our shapes into patterns and have even made ourselves into a repeating pattern.
In English we have been learning all about Rapunzel. We
have written character descriptions using Golden Sentences.
As it is Health week we have been learning about the
Eatwell plate and how to choose healthy foods. We have made our own healthy
food plates in Design and Technology.
We have also enjoyed learning how to dance like a
Bollywood star and the boys were particularly good at this.

Hello Everyone!
What a fabulous, gruesome week we have all had!! Mrs
Blyth has been poorly…she has been vomiting in class, had these atrocious boils
and was covered in fleas!! Mrs Collison and Mr Marsden had to magically
turn into The Plague Doctor to ensure she was treated effectively by using
imperative verbs such as DON’T spread germs, COVER your mouth when you
cough and KEEP inside your house!. Fortunately, she was one of the
lucky ones and managed to survive this terrible disease!
The children have told me that they are finding column
addition and subtraction really tricky so we have used empty number lines to
add and subtract two, two digit numbers….hopefully they can show you how this
is done at home.
Here is what the children have said they have enjoyed
with their learning this week
Atiya said ‘I enjoyed it when Mrs Blyth had the Black
Death and we had to make her feel better. ’
Karter said ‘I loved learning about the value of
different coins. I know that 1p is the lowest value coin. ’
Have a happy and safe weekend.
Look forward to seeing you all on Monday

Thank you to all the parents who sent in some fruit and
a food packet. We loved the fruit salad and had an interesting lesson looking
at food labels.
This week we have also been exploring ‘Play scripts’
and have been reading them and acting them out.
Next week we hope to write our own play script based on
‘Stig of the Dump’. In Maths we have looked at rounding to the nearest 10 and
100 and have played lots of games to help us to remember what to do. If you
have some dice at home you could play a game too!
The weather has turned a lot colder this week and we
have been wrapping up warm for playtime and lunchtime. Please make sure you
child has cold weather clothes with them every day such as a coat.

Well Year 6 are re living World War 2 this week. What
with rationing, diary entries of an evacuee and Goodnight Mr Tom, we feel we
are living parallel lives! In maths we have been looking at formal and informal methods of multiplication, multiplying by
10, 100 and 1000 as well as practising for mental maths………..keep practising
your times tables please!
