Date: 26th Mar 2021 @ 9:01pm
This week Class 4 have been busy learning about money. We began the week with identifying all the different coins we have. Later in the week, we used plastic coins the work out the cost of buying objects.
Many members of Class 4 and their parents have been busy this week making hats for today’s charity event. It was to raise money for The Brain Tumour Research Charity. We would like to say a big thank you to all the parents for helping their children with the hats. Also, a big thank you for your generous donations. Your children looked fantastic.
All the hats were prize winning standard but we were only allowed to choose one per class. For Class 4, we would like to say well done to Safah for being chosen as the winner. Such a clever and creative hat! Well done.

Class 8 had a super day today raising money for the Brain Tumour Charity. We were amazed with the effort that some children put in. We had Alice in Wonderland, Easter and Food themed hats.

This week Class 6 have shown great enthusiasm to be back at school! We have followed instructions and used our food technology skills to make our very own delicious fruit salad.

We also reminded ourselves of our number and calculation skills by showing our teachers how fantastic we are at addition and subtraction!

Fruit Salad Project Completed!
Date: 24th Mar 2021 @ 9:35am
Following on from last week, the children have completed their Design Technology project - Fruit Salads. They used their research and designs from last week to turn the images into reality. The children worked in small groups to choose their fruits, chop and prepare them, share them out in to bowls and add their favourite juice! They enjoyed working with their friends and eating their yummy fruit salad in class. They completed the project by evaluating what had gone well and what they would improve or change next time.
We have been learning about... being active!

Class 4 have had a fun filled week, from acting out the story ‘Toby and the Great Fire of London’ to creating our own bakery in the classroom.
In DT this week, we have been very busy. To begin with, we designed biscuits, thinking about the shape and the different toppings we could use.
Later in the week, we followed the instructions of a simple recipe to make biscuits. After baking them, we decorated them with different toppings.
The finished product was so temping that many of the biscuits were gobbled up within minutes by the children. However, some managed to resists the temptation and waited to take their biscuits home to enjoy in the comfort of their own home.
Well done Class 4, we hope you enjoyed your biscuits.

This week we have been learning about Doctors and Nurses. We transformed our home area in Nursery into Greenhill's Doctors Surgery! We all joined in with some great doctor and patient role play, using a stephoscope, a thermometer and even bandaging our patients up. We also looked at some pictures of patients in the doctors and talked about what we thought was going on, this works great to improve our sentence structures.
In phonics we had a re-cap rhyme and made a silly soup.
In maths we looked a more and less, comparing amounts.
In the creative area we made ambulances using junk modelling and blue pompoms for the siren.
We also made mothers day cards for our lovely mums!
Great first week Nursery!!

This week Class 8 have been writing fact sheets about themselves in Literacy and in Maths we have been recapping the learning we did during lockdown.
Our best lesson this week was French. We were learning about hobbies and played a game of charades. A child came to the front and acted out a hobby and whether they liked it, loved it, disliked it or detested it. The others had to write the sentence on the board to describe it e.g. Je deteste jouer au football or J'aime nage. It was lots of fun and great skills reading and writing French.
