Nursery
This week
we have been learning about the fire brigade so it’s been all things fire in
nursery. We have had fire foam, a mixture of red and yellow paint, and
shaving foam, our role play area has been transformed into a fire engine, with
lots of fire fighter dressing up clothes available. We have decorated
some cups that will be knocked down by our water hoses, empty shampoo bottles
filled with water, and P.E is drop and roll to avoid the smoke!! On Friday we
will also be having a small fire drill (a ringing bell) just to finish off the
week, and help our new children to see what happens when we hear an alarm.
3AB
We have
continued work on our playscripts as well as our learning about
fractions. We are quite good at this now and even know some equivalent
fractions.
I have been
very impressed with the standard of the talks to the class. Well done to
everyone who has presented their talk so far – everyone has managed without
notes as well as speaking clearly so everyone could hear.

Year 4
Year 4 have
been very pleased to see the first day of Spring this week. To celebrate, they
enjoyed a long walk to Leigh Library on Wednesday . They had a great time
hearing a talk from the librarian and exploring all of the lovely books at the
library.
Year 4 have
been finishing their final week on ‘Explanation Texts’ this week. Ask your
child to explain to you all the different ones they have made. They range from
‘Teacher Pleasers’ to ‘Hypnotising machines’ all very exciting!
We have
introduced ‘Pen Licences’ into year 4. If the children have neat, joined
handwriting they can now use a pen for written work instead of a pencil. Let’s
see how many we can get before the end of the year!
5CW
5CW have had a busy week. We have been learning about
fractions and decimal numbers in maths. We designed our own gardens and worked
out what fraction, decimal number and percentage we would need for each
feature. There were some very interesting designs.
In English we joined with 5C and had a tag debate on the use
of animals for fur just for fashion. The children came up with really strong
arguments for both sides.
5CW have had great fun with outside
learning, learning orienteering skills and in science we have been testing
sound with tin and string phones. We joined 16 together to test the strength of
sound. A few children made a rhythm by tapping, pinging the string and
rubbing the cans. It was really effective. So all in all just another busy week
in 5CW.
Year 6
Another
busy week in Year Six!. Revision, science outside, For Sports, Music and Sport
Relief Day. Wow! With two weeks until the Easter holidays and only three weeks
after that until SATs, we are very , very busy revising and organising
assessmentsme of the Year Six children wish to start a newspaper for the school
which is a lovely idea…they would like some parent input…………………….? Anyway, we
are going to enjoy the lovely weather today at break and lunch and continue
with our hard work. Well done gang!
