What we have been learning about this week in class 2! (WB 5.10.20)
Date: 9th Oct 2020 @ 6:18pm
This week in class 2 we have been learning about the story ‘The Runaway Chapatti’. The children all recognised that it was very similar to one of our favourite traditional tales ‘The Gingerbread Man’. The children have all sequenced the story and retold the story in their own words to an adult. Why don’t you ask your child if they can retell it to you!
All of the children worked with Miss Seddon to make their own chapattis and we really enjoyed eating them. Zaynah said after eating it all up that we had all turned into the tiger because we had eaten all of the chapattis just like in the story!
In maths this week we have continued our learning into numbers and the children have each made their own number line to 10. I was very impressed with the children’s numeral recognition.
Our super learning this week in Class 3
Date: 9th Oct 2020 @ 4:36pm
This week in Class 3 we have had such a fantastic week. In maths we have been looking at addition and using lots of different methods to help us soliving our number sentences.
In Literacy we have been reading the book 'The lonely beast.' Class 3 wrote some amazing descriptions all about him. We were SO impressed with the different adjectives they came up with.
During our Design and Technology lessons we have started looking at lever and slider toys. We had a go at playing with some of our own, and have even started to design our very own toys that we will make on Monday.
Have a look at some of our super designs. We can't wait to see the finished product, and to enjoy another super week working really hard!
What have Class 4 been up to this week?
Date: 9th Oct 2020 @ 4:12pm
This week in Class 4, we have been extremely busy developing our design and technology skills. We have learnt about levers and sliders and how these mechanisms can be used to make toys. We have had a go at making toys which uses either a lever or a slider. Have a look at some of our rabbits that pop out of a magician’s hat and the cars that drives along the road.
We have started designing our own toys and next week we will be making and evaluating them. We can’t wait to see what they will look like.

We enjoyed our celebration afternoon where we took part in an Indian craft session and created our own Rangoli patterns, Indian slippers and mendi patterns. We then we tasted some amazing Asian cooking from our very talented parents and rounded the afternoon off with an introduction to Yoga session. We learnt some different Yoga poses and felt very relaxed when going home!
Thank you to all the parent support and enthusiasm to our learning this half term it has been an amazing start to our Year 2 Geography learning!

This week in Year 6 we have carried on our World War II learning. We thought about why children were evacuated during the war and what this would have felt like. We realised that some children will have enjoyed this experience whilst others will have just wanted to go home. We then wrote postcards in role as evacuees. After this, we looked at a range of propaganda posters. We discussed the messages from the posters and who the posters were aimed at. We used the propaganda posters as inspiration for our own posters. In English we have carried on the story of The Harmonica, focusing on writing descriptions. We have tried to include lots of descriptive features in our writing.
Date: 6th Oct 2020 @ 10:20am
This week Class 8's learning has focused around our topic of Great Britain. We started in the ICT suite researching facts about the countries that make up Great Britain. Our note taking skills were impressive! We wrote a fabulous introduction to a report using a range of sentence types to draw the reader in and encourage them to read more. Our Big Writes showed an understanding of the features of a non-chronological report and were exciting and interesting to read.
In maths we were learning column addition and exchanging. This challenged our maths brains but by the end we were feeling amazing as we had stretched our comfort zones. We wrote how we felt after this challenging learning on star post its. Anaya wrote 'I feel so amazing I could burst!'

The children in Learning Base 2 have had an amazing week continuing their learning about 'My family'.
The children talked about who lives in their family and created a 'family tree' showing all the family members.
They then created a collage family tree and added their family to it.
The children continued their creativity by collaging their house and drawing in detail.
Amazing learning in Class 4 W/B 28/09/20
Date: 2nd Oct 2020 @ 4:28pm
In Class 4 this week we have read 'The Gingerbread Man'. We had a great time pretending to be the Gingerbread Man and being chased by different characters from the story.
We had great fun retelling the story and sequencing it using time connectives. Our folding story books look amazing!
We also developed our fine motor skills by cutting out and putting together a Gingerbread Man puppet. They were hard work but looked fantastic when they were finished.
In Geography this week, we discussed and compared physical and human features in our local area. Class 4 were wonderful at using their sorting skills.

On Monday morning Class 1 found a very tired teddy asleep in our Story Suitcase! Also in the suitcase was a copy of this week’s book Peace at Last. We did lots of fantastic learning about the book, like sequencing the story and retelling it using actions. In maths we have done lots of counting to 10 and recognising numbers. Class 1 have done lots of outdoor learning including building the bear’s house and sleeping in the garden like Daddy Bear! We are looking forward to the story of The Runaway Chapatti next week!

This week Mrs Wilson and I are extremely proud of Amaya and Haider on their amazing BIG WRITE!
This week we became authors and retold the story of "The Tiger Child".
Amaya and Haider thought about how to rewrite the story and used amazing adjectives, time connectives and conjunctions to explain what happened to the cheeky Tiger Child!
Ask your children all about our story this week.
Look how amazing we are at ART!
Date: 2nd Oct 2020 @ 8:51am
This week we loved learning about the Indian artist; Gogi Saroj. We started our Art topic by researching our artist and discussing what we liked about her work. We then used our sketching skills to create our own version of her art and then explored mixing primary colours to create colours we will use next week in our final art piece!
What an amazing end to the half term!
Date: 2nd Oct 2020 @ 8:35am
I would first like to start my message by stating how incredibly impressed I am with our parents this half term. You have displayed a strong commitment in ensuring that all the children in Class 10 and Greenhill have access to a full education at school - Thank you! The children have thoroughly enjoyed their time in school.
This term for topic we researched the rainforest, we really enjoyed learning about the different layers of the rainforest, the animals of the rainforest and the impact of deforestation – I think we may have some budding climate activist in the making!
For science we learned about teeth and digestion; the children thoroughly enjoyed writing fact files, which explained the process of digestion and an information leaflet about how to keep your teeth healthy and shiny. How informative they all were!
I cannot wait for next half term!
Stay Safe and take care.
Mrs Khalil
What we have been learning about this week in class 2! (WB 28.09.20)
Date: 1st Oct 2020 @ 9:26pm
This week in class 2 we have been learning about the story 'Peace at Last'. The children have enjoyed retelling the story using pictures and have had a go at labelling their pictures. We have also introduced the children to table jobs which we use each week in our English learning and always links to the weekly story. We were very impressed with Zaynab who completed a table job independently. She labelled the pictures from the story by looking at the intial sound in the words.
In our maths learning the children have been learning about the numbers 1,2 and 3. The children have enjoyed writing the numerals and have been listening to how many times Miss Bradshaw and Miss Seddon play the different instruments and showing that number on their number fans.

In Nursery we have been welcoming lots of new children. We have been painting our own self potraits focusing on the detail of our features. We have also been familarising ourself with all of the area's we have to explore. Lots of children were busing in the creative area using glue.
