Well what a busy couple of weeks we have had in
Reception! We have all been busy writing our letters to Santa and all the
children have had a fantastic try at using their phonic knowledge from the last
term to write their ideas about the christmas presents they would like to find
under the Christmas tree. Well done Children all the teachers are very proud of
you all. We have continued our topic on Winter and have had great fun making
bird feeders to keep some of the animals warm as the weather becomes even colder.
As well as the hustle and bustle of our learning in the
classroom, we have enjoyed our outside area, where we have been experimenting
with the topic of winter and winter colours in our writing, drawing and
painting.
We are well under way with our Christmas Nativity of
'It's a Baby', which you should have all received your two tickets per family
for. Don't forget RW, RF and am Nursery will be performing in the morning and
RB, RN and pm nursery will be performing in the afternoon of next Thursday. So
not long left for us to practise!! The children are doing really well, but
don't forget to practise those words and get those big singing voices out as I
am sure all you mummy's and daddy's will be very impressed with our own little
angels of Darlinghurst Primary School. Please don't forget to bring costumes in
if you have been asked as we will be starting our dress rehearsals next week!!
Have a fantastic weekend, wrap up warm and don't forget
to come to our Christmas bizarre on Saturday where you may be able to pick up
some last minute Christmas ideas and even see the one and only Father
Christmas!
Thank you for your
continued support this term, we all really appreciate it.

2C
Hello everyone!
Another busy week…we have been
super mathematicians and can now use so many methods to find the difference and
total of two, two digit numbers. We have used bar modelling, empty number
square, empty number lines and number squares. We have also heard about
Thomas Farriners cat and how he felt when he smelt the Great Fire of London.
Here is what the children said
they enjoyed;
Ruby said ‘I loved listening to
the story teller John this week. He read us a story about Pirates which
really made me laugh’!
Martha said ‘ In PE this week we
performed a gymnastic routine which we made up ourselves. I have been
practising balancing and jumping. I made a rountine with 4 skills.’
Have a lovely weekend, keep warm
and stay safe

Year 3
Year 3 have had lots of fun this
week writing diary entries based upon The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch. They have
been very creative and have shown great imagination. In P.E. the children were
using Speed Stacks which was a lot of fun if not a little noisy! Thank you to
the 4Sports guys for providing our children with fun and exciting P.E. lessons
this term.
Year 4
Year 4 have had another busy
week! Our favourite part of the week has been ‘Ancient Egyptian Day’ which was
on Thursday run by a company called ‘Portals to the Past’. Mark the historian helped
us to understand lots of facts and we enjoyed participating in all of the fun
activities. Did you know that some Pharaohs would employ a slave to put honey
on his head in order to keep the flies away from the Pharaoh! Some great
costumes were worn as well on the so thank you for the support at home with
this!
We are beginning to learn our
Christmas songs this week which has been fun and we are looking forward to
performing for all the parents at our carol concert.
