Nursery
Well we had
an extremely good turnout for world book day. Most children dressed up, and
those who didn’t were able to borrow one of nursery’s outfits. A
fantastic 15 mums stayed in the morning
and 17 in the afternoon and we all had lots of fun. This week’s topic was
boats and trains, and we have been spending a lot of time outside seeing if our
boats sink or float. You may also have seen us doing the Locomotion
around the school, everyone hung on for dear life and we managed quite a train.
Reception
This week in Reception we have been learning about growing.
We have based our learning around the book, Jasper's beanstalk.
The children have planted their own beans.
In maths we have been learning to tell the time and use
positional language.
The children have enjoyed outdoor learning this week.

We have
been learning all about owls this week and have found out some very interesting
facts. We shared our work with ours Mums and Nans when they came to visit
us on Thursday. It has been a fun week!
In Maths we
have continued work on our numbers to 40. We have been ordering using the
Abacus, carpet tiles, number cards and chalks. We have also been working on
place value and working out how many tens and ones in our numbers.
In science
we have learned all about `The Dark` and as we have been learning about owls we
read The owl who was afraid of the dark.

We have
been practising addition and subtraction in maths.
“I like
using empty number lines for subtraction. For example if you have 27 – 13
you can take away 10 and then add 3 back on” (Eva Nicholls).
“Also we
learnt about rounding to the nearest 10. If we had 19 add 13 then you
could round to the nearest 10 and add on the ones” (Julia Watson).
We have
been looking at information texts in English and finding the answers to
questions using BBC Famous People website.
In science
we looked around the school to see how electricity makes some appliances
work. We found out that electricity can make things move, light up, make
sound and heat up and some can do more than one these things.
On Bring a
Mum to School Day we made icing animals with Daniel’s mummy and we also made
settings for an adapted Little Red Riding Hood Story.
“It’s been
an energetic week.” (Julia Watson – 2A)

Hello All,
Hope you
all had a fun day with your children yesterday (if you managed to join
them). Unfortunately I missed you all as I was feeling rather poorly….all
back to normal now and ready for some more super learning.
Here is
what the children have said they enjoyed this week
Jack said
‘I loved PE because we were learning how to dance to 4 beats and 8 beats.
I think I am getting much better now!’
Alfie said
‘I enjoyed Bring a Mum to School Day because she helped me make a 3D model of a
story character and a setting. My setting was the cave and my character was a
wolf.’
Hope you
all have a lovely weekend. See you all on Monday.

Year 4
Year 4 have
had a very exciting week! On Wednesday we enjoyed a very interesting
International event at Westcliff high School for boys. The children travelled
to different countries, finding out different facts and even learning some
basic phrases in the native language!
Thursday
was a lovely day with children, teacher and even some mum’s dressing up for
World Book Day. Lots of effort was put into costumes and the children
enjoyed having a book themed day. Bring a mum to school day was a huge
success in year 4, so thank you to all who came, especially those who brought
activities to do with the children.
Year 6
Well, what
a week! Year six have been working incredibly hard in maths and English
this week. |They have been learning about Pie Charts and how to read and
record data in them. In English we have begun work on our adventure story and
we hope to invite you in to hear them during an assembly.
Bring a mum
to school day was incredible; we had seed planting, Italian lessons, tortoises,
a veterinary nurse talk and badge making- an amazing day! Thank you mums!
We have
also been involved in Outdoor Learning as most parents will know due to
the muddy children we have returned to them at the end of the day.
|Roll on
next week.
