Date: 29th Sep 2022 @ 10:53pm
We have had a lovely week in Reception. In our English learning we have been reading a story called 'In Every House on Every Street'. On Monday we were shown a wonder picture of images from our local area. The children were busy acting out different scenes from different rooms in the house. We then drew pictures of what our dream home would be and labelled using our super phonics learning.
In phonics this week we been busy learning some new phonemes and graphemes. We have enjoyed learning the new formation rhymes in handwriting and practicing our oral blending everyday!
In our afternoon learning we have been learning all about Maps, reading the story 'Martha Maps It Out'. We looked at maps of our local area which then inspired us to make our own map using junk modelling resources on the corridor. The children also had a go at making their own maps of the local area, which were fantastic!

This week in Nursery we started our topic for this term 'All About Me!'. Our learning was based on our book of the week 'My Mum and Dad Make Me Laugh!'
We enjoyed reading about a family where Mum liked spots and Dad liked stripes - and the little boy liked grey. We talked about the different animals the characters liked and the different colours in the book. We created collages using our favourite colours and used collage materials created images of our faces - they look fantastic!
In our Family Group time we have been visiting the different areas in Nursery investigating the resources,and talking about what expectations there are about caring for our things in Nursery.
Next week we will be talking about our families. It would be fantastic if the children could bring in a photograph of their family to talk about in their Family Group.

After harvesting the crops we enjoyed tasting the different vegetables. We tasted, swede, radish, cabbage, natural yoghurt and creamy mature cheese.

This week we have started our new topic 'The Countryside'. We started our new learning by finding out what foods you might see growing on a farm. At first we thought we might see mangos and bananas but after lots of research and talk time we found out that wasn't quite right.
We discussed how the farmers grow their vegetables and fruit. Then we talked about what food we can get from different animals for example eggs from chickens and milk from cows.
Then we got to try some foods. The children really enjoyed trying lots of new foods like swede, cabbages and radishes. At home, could you ask your children which food they likes and which one they didn't.

Class 14 - World War II Wow Starter
Date: 16th Sep 2022 @ 1:59pm
Year 6 had a fabulous time with Mr B learning all about World War II. They learned what life really like for children and adults in World War Two. To have to cope not only with the rationing and evacuee programmes, but also the Blitz, the Battle of Britain and the threat of being invaded. They explored how people were able to live in a time when sticking together and standing strong was not only expected but essential. They got to carry out lots of hands on activities, including creating Black out windows, dressing up and handling WW2 artefacts and even learning how to bandage up their friends using WW2 instructions. What a fabulous start to our World War II topic! Ask your child all about it and see what interesting facts they know.
