Nursery
It’s all
getting very exciting in nursery. We have written our letters to Father
Christmas and have posted them. So fingers crossed it won’t be long
before we get a reply. Thank you for your continued support with saving
us junk modelling items. The children are really proud of their robots
and these can be seen in our porch area along with some photos from our walk to
the post box. Please remember to keep bringing in those WOW moments and
any other bits for your child’s learning journey. Only 33 sleeps as Mrs
Manley keeps reminding me!
Reception
This week
in Reception our topic has been friendship and we have read the book
Dumbo. We have thought about what makes a good friend and how we can work
together as a team.
In Maths
Mastery we have been thinking about using and applying numbers to 7. The
children have enjoyed singing 7 green bottles.
Thank you
to all those children that completed their healthy lunchbox homework. We
had some lovely ideas.
The
Reception Team
1K
1K
have worked extremely hard this week in Maths. they have been learning about
'teen numbers' and place value. It is a tricky concept and something we will be
working on a lot.
In
French we have been looking at the names of unhealthy foods ( as it was health
week last week we thought we would have a change)!
English
has been lots of fun! We have been concentrating on the Rapunzel story which we
will be writing about next week. We have been looking at sentence openers,
adjectives and time connectives to make our writing more exciting!

Hello
everybody,
Class
1B have had a very busy week and are trying very hard with their learning.
In
Mathematics Mastery lessons the children have been focussing on numbers 11 to
19 and learning about Place Value. They had to work out how many tens and how
many ones for numbers up to 10. They were then thinking about numbers greater
than or less than using numbers to 20. Some of the tasks were quite
challenging; but they all tried their best.
In
English they have been trying hard to improve the way that they write their
sentences. They decided that a "Golden Sentence" needs to have
capital letters and full stops in the correct places, finger spaces and
adjectives to describe people, places and things. The sentences that they have
written about Rapunzel have been fantastic.
Here
are some of the things that some of the children have particularly enjoyed this
week:
I
have enjoyed learning numbers up to 20 because I like doing bigger numbers-
Alesha I liked Pushing and Pulling because I liked playing the game- Theo
Learning about Rapunzel and doing Golden Sentences was interesting- Charlotte I
enjoyed learning about Pushing and Pulling , I learned that you can push and
pull a door- Laura I have been enjoying doing my Shape and Pattern Assessment
because I like my shapes- Nathan
Thanks
for you contributions children,
Have
a great weekend,
Miss
Bernard
2A
In 2A we
have been learning about the Plague and the Great Fire of London. In ICT
we created powerpoint presentations and designed different backgrounds to make
them look old and used clip art and animation and searched images from the
internet safely. “I loved writing instructions yesterday. I wrote
mine about How to make a cure for the Plague” (Julia Watson). “Using bar
modelling to work out addition and subtraction word problems was interesting
and new” (Fletcher Price). We used instructions to make bread just
like they did in 1666 in Pudding Lane. We are looking forward to baking
it today on an open fire.

Hello
Everyone!
How quickly
time flies when you’re having fun….can’t believe that next week we will be
travelling to London!
This week
we have been scientists and thinking about how we can make a potion to cure Mrs
Blyth’s Plague! We have thought about how instructions needed
imperative verbs and time connectives and some children even thought
about adverbs! Maths has seen us solve word problems using bar
modelling, number rods and empty number lines….the children should be able to
tell you what that means!! Gymnastics has been fabulous and we have seen
real progress with children’s floor work; they have been making routines using
point and patch balances, bridges, rolls and jumps….we hope to see some of them
at the next Olympics!!
Here is
what the children have said they enjoyed…
Aysha said
‘I loved PE because I am really good at stretching my arms and legs when making
a bridge….my tummy nearly touches the ceiling!’
Daniel said
‘I enjoyed PE as well because I like to warm up and cool down so my
muscles do not get pulled.’
Looking
forward to seeing lots of you on Wednesday for our mammoth trip to London!!
Take Care
and Keep Safe

Collison and Mrs BlythJ
Year 4
Another
busy week for 4E and 4L!
This week
we have continued our work on Play scripts and have designed a new character to
be part of ‘Stig of the Dump’! In Maths we have looked at doubling and halving
and have made our own number cruncher machines.
In Science
we have looked at conductors and insulators and have had a great time exploring
circuits. We have also learnt some of the days of the week and months of the
year in French!
Phew, busy
busy!
Year 6
Another
hard working week in Year 6!
In English,
6B have been working on some fantastic descriptive writing, creating their own
chapters of Goodnight Mr Tom. Meanwhile, 6N have been writing some excellent
diary entries of evacuees. We are beginning to use an impressive range of
vocabulary and definitely have some amazing authors in the making!
Maths
lessons have been as fun as ever this week- we have been using all the
multiplication facts we already know to help us solve new and more complex
problems. We practised using lots of handy tricks to help us solve problems
like 25 x 19 without using column multiplication.
Science was
also very interesting on Wednesday. We made paper helicopters and investigated
how adding paper clips changed the speed of them falling. They worked
brilliantly together in teams and finished the session by performing their
dances to the class. Check out the photos below!
Roll on
next week!
