28th March 2014

Nursery

This week has been all things mother’s day.  Nursery children all made a mother’s day card and planted some bulbs in a pot that they had decorated.  They also made a puffy paint flower, a cake that was expertly decorated and took part in filling in a sheet all about mum!!!  Wow we have been a busy lot!!!  We hope that everyone has a fantastic mother’s day, and that you all 
enjoy your gifts.

1K

1K have been busy doing assessments. Now they are all completed we are concentrating on our Mother’s Day cards and presents. We have had fun in PE [outside] and have learned about the Sikh faith in RE. In maths we have been solving word problems and in English we finished our owl work. The highlight of the week was the visit from the owls. There was a lot of swooping and squawking! We even got to stroke Tito the Barn Owl who was lovely.  Our favourite though was Zeus the Eagle Owl. He was enormous and was big enough to carry off a fox in his talons!

Year 4

Year 4 have had a very hard working week, demonstrating their learning through assessments. The year 4 teachers are very impressed with the effort all of the children have put in! In PE we enjoyed developing football skills and we are now confident at dribbling and stilling the ball. After lots of research, designing and presenting  we have been very creative this week at making our ideal classroom. We used shoeboxes and a variety of other materials and we are very proud of them.
Keep up the reading and please ensure all homework is in on time to an appropriate standard. My maths is set on a weekly basis to check to see if your teacher has set it.

Finally to those who celebrate it Happy Mother’s Day from year 4!

5CW

5CW have been busy as always. We have been looking more at our class book 101 Dalmations.  We have been working on role play from when Pongo and Missus are reunited with their pups and thinking how they felt and how what sort of characters the Badduns are.
In maths we have looked more at percentages, fractions and decimal numbers and their links, why not test us and see what we've learnt.
In science we predicted which material was the best for insulating sound, if you want to know which material would be the best sound proofer for our bedrooms, just ask!
Next week we have a class quiz and are allowed to bring in a snack and drink, there will be prizes for the winning teams!

Year 6

Well, after  a week of extensive testing and assessment, year 6 have shown they are on track to achieve some great results this year! It has been a welcome  and relaxing morning today as we make surprises ready for the best day of the year on Sunday!!!!!!!!!!!
The weather has again, enabled us to carry out some of our science and English outside….that meant we got very messy, which always pleases the children!
The Easter Holidays will be a  well – deserved break  but –don’t worry…..lots of homework is on its way !
