Nursery

We have been looking at the police and ambulance services this week. Our home corner became a police station our outside area a road with a zebra crossing and some police cars made out of junk. We done some finger printing and looked at the results through a magnifying glass and in P.E we made up a road and looked at different road signs to see their meaning.

1B

Hi there everybody,
1B have been learning lots of new facts about owls and have been developing their addition and subtraction skills using numbers up to 40. They had to think of ways to make their writing about owls more interesting and learned about using generalisers like all, a few, most and openers like interestingly, amazingly and surprisingly. They have chosen to write their owl reports to the Reception children. They hope that the children will enjoy listening them.
Here are some of the activities that children have particularly enjoyed this 
week:

I liked playing live on Education City because I had 117 points - Rosie

I have fun learning about money on Pi Day- Charlotte

I liked working with the class and telling them different facts about owls- Nathan

I enjoyed making shadow pictures because I liked using charcoal - Marcus

I liked doing the art with pastel crayons yesterday- Stanley

I have enjoyed learning about owls because I like learning new facts -James

I have enjoyed when Miss Hamilton did a French song with us and we danced 
to it- Sharna

Doing numbers to 40 is fun because you can count back with your fingers - Laura

I liked doing money and learning all the things about money on Pi Day- Letitia

I enjoyed learning new facts about owls, I really enjoyed learning about the pellets that they spit out - Grace

Thanks for all of your contributions children.

Have a great weekend,

Miss Bernard

Hello,
In 1K we have been learning about addition and subtraction using numbers up to 40.  We have used lots of resources to help us including dienes rods, multilink, number lines and bead strings. We have been working very hard and some of our work is quite challenging!

In English we continue to learn about owls. We have been sharing facts and writing factual statements using interesting sentence openers and connectives to make our writing more interesting.

In PE we have been practising our throwing and catching skills. We are very good! To make it more difficult for ourselves we moved further away from one another and used benches to make us taller so we had to throw higher.

In RE we have learned all about Sikhism and Guru Nanak. We watched a short story about his life and then retold it in our own words.

Hello everyone!
I cannot believe it’s that time of the week again!  It is funny how time flies when you are having fun. A busy week again had by all with lots of learning all about money and finding the total value of both pounds and pence.  Perhaps if you are out shopping at the weekend you could help your grownups with the total amount of money they will need.  English has been very informative as we have been learning how to scan a text using key words to find new information about Florence Nightingale.  I wonder if you could tell your grown up how to box up?
Here is what the children have said they enjoyed learning this week
Macy said ‘ I loved making my Florence Nightingale game.  She was travelling from London to Scutari in Turkey ‘’
Camren said ‘My game was really good fun.  I played it with Toby and Toby lost because he ended up in Russia which is not where he was meant to be!  He was meant to be in Scutari but the game was very close!’
Have a happy and safe weekend  x

 3AB

We have started looking at playscripts this week.  We are now familiar with how plays are set out and Miss White led a drama session that showed us  the importance of stage directions.  We are now starting to write our own plays.
In science we have been looking at different food groups and what makes a healthy diet.  Why not challenge your child to identify the different food groups on their plate at mealtimes!
As today is Pi day, we looked at what Pi is and the first 27 digits, we tried to see how many we could remember!  We also enjoyed taking part in the number challenge at school.  We had a crash course on prime numbers, negative numbers and factors so our maths skills have really increased!

Year Six

We have been amazing this week as we practise for the Spelling and Grammar Test that is now a part of their SATs.The lovely weather has meant that we have been learning outside a lot  and our science work on the properties of materials has been  wonderful. They need to ensure they are practising their times tables and spellings regularly as well as completing all of their homework.

Keep on learning Year Six
