This week in Reception we have been thinking about the
season winter and with the sudden change in the weather it has really helped us
think of some lovely descriptive words about winter whilst on our winter walks
around the school. All the children agreed that winter was very cold and one
person thought it felt 'like someone was biting our cheeks'.
We have had great fun thinking about how ice is formed and
the changes ice goes through to turn back to water. In addition to this we have
tried snow writing, exploring our new winter wonderland role-play areas and
using the arctic animals in our small world areas to practise our speaking and
listening skills. Next week we will be continuing our thinking and learning
about winter, so please ensure all children have warm clothing as we will be
outside, making bird feeders and generally having more exciting fun!!
Once again thank you for all the lovely home school
learning that has come in this week. It's been lovely to see all the children's
lovely ideas. Please remember to fill in those wow stars with all the
achievements the children do at home so we can share them in the classroom.
Have a lovely weekend, wrap up warm and get ready to open
the first door of your advent calendars!!
The Reception team.

Hello Everybody,
The week has really whizzed by
seems like only yesterday that we were doing our last blog J
The children have been very busy
as usual; sequencing and ordering numbers to 20 and writing some amazing
versions of Rapunzel with some great adjectives and interesting words. I was
very proud of them. We also had fun investigating pushes and pulls using the
Nursery bikes and scooters.
Here are some of the activities
that the children have particularly enjoyed:
I really enjoyed learning in
Science about pushes and pulls. We the bikes and scooters to help us- Marcus
Writing our Rapunzel story was
exciting because we thought of different words to into it and it was fun-
Charlotte
I enjoyed learning all about

Hi,
1K have worked really hard this
week [as usual] We have been comparing old and new toys in History. Children
brought in old toys from home and were able to discuss and answer questions
about their toys. Those children who didn’t have a toy asked lots of
interesting questions.
The children have been learning
about place value in Maths and did very well on their test. They have also
written some fantastic Rapunzel stories, using interesting adjectives and
Golden Sentences.

On Wednesday we went to St. Paul’s Cathedral in London
because it got burnt down in 1666 and there were models showing the Old St.
Paul’s and the new St. Paul’s. The new Cathedral looks different because
on the old one it looked like a castle and on the new one there is a
dome. We also went to The Monument and we saw the River Thames and Tower
Bridge. It was hard work to climb to the top because there were 311 steps
and it was really tiring. It was the best school trip ever! The next day
we had a “project day” and some of us chose to make clay models of St.
Paul’s and The Monument and tried to add detail and improved them to look like
the real thing. Some of us made a game about the Great Fire of
London. (Lila-Rose Lewington and Chloe Machipisa).

Hello everyone!
Wow! What an amazing
week!! Thank you to all the parents that helped on our exhausting but exhilarating
trip…we couldn’t have done it without you!
Here is what the children said
they enjoyed this week..
Tina said ‘I loved the trip,
especially when we walked up The Monument steps and The Whispering Gallery
steps because I am not scared of heights!!’
Pheobe said ‘I think London is
great! I bought a pencil from The Monument and it had gold flames on the
top. If you tip the Monument on its side it will land on the old Thomas
Farriner Bakery!’
Next stop….Christmas
Preparations….CAN’T WAIT!!
Have a lovely weekend.
Stay Safe!!

Year 5
Year 5 have had a good week learning about creating
characters and describing them. We have used ‘hot seating’ and drama to
identify characters feelings and show off our great questioning skills. This is
linked to our book we are reading The Peppermint Pig for 5W and Tom’s Midnight
Garden 5C. Ask us questions about the book and test our great memory skills!
We have been looking patterns and sequencing in maths, we
have had lots of fun challenges and found lots of patterns. We look forward to
carrying on with our class books
The Darlinghurst Cross Country Team ran against other local
schools on Thursday at Garon’s Park. This was the biggest cross country event
yet with over 1200 children attending. A big well done to the whole team who
have been training hard and put in lots of effort on the day. Libby Mitchell
came 8th in the year 3 girls race and Taylor Banks came 9th
in the year 6 boys race, these are great achievements when running against 120
children. We would also like to thank the parents who came to support us on the
day.
Year 6
Year 6 have, as usual, been working very hard. The children
have produced some very impressive diary entries and some children
have progressed incredibly quickly with their writing. In science we have been
looking at how our eyes work and had some fun when we looked at some optical
illusions together.
Next week we are getting ready for more tests so children
should be very quiet indoors for their parents/ carers as they will be busy
revising.
