I would like to start this week's message with how proud I am of Class 10 who have worked really hard these past two weeks by completing all their assessments and showing great resilience whilst doing so. Well done Class 10!

For our writing this week the children wrote a narrative based on 'The Sword in the Stone.' It was a magical experience for all us all as they wrote in the perspective of the sword and these were absolutely amazing! 

INCREDIBLE YOU!

This week we continued our learning for our Linking Project. We read the story... Incredible You by Rhys Brisenden and thought about how we are all incredible and designed some incredible me pieces of art!

What we have been learning about in class 2! (WB 23.11.20)

Date: 27th Nov 2020 @ 8:38am

This week in class 2 we have been learning about the story 'Day Monkey Night Monkey', the children have enjoyed sequencing the story and thinking of sentences for each picture. For our teacher focus the children have drawn pictures to show what happens in the story, they have then used the phonic knowledge to label their drawings.

In maths this week we have continued our learning into number with some learning into one more and one less. We have enjoyed singing lots of one more and one less songs. For our teacher focus the children have been collecting a number of objects and placing them onto their five frame and have then taken one away or added one more and then found the new number on their number lines. 

 

Our Splendid Space Buggies

Date: 25th Nov 2020 @ 3:23pm

In Design Technology the children have made Space Buggies. They started by exploring and disassembling vehicles and labelling each part. Next they designed their own space buggy, wrote an equipment list and a method. Then they collected all their resources and began the construction process in pairs to bring their buggies to life. Finally they evaluated their work and thought about what had worked well and what they would improve next time. 

We are so proud of ALL of the children and the fabulous work they have produced! Below are a few pictures of the process, our class display and our final products.

One Snowy Night in Class 4.

Date: 23rd Nov 2020 @ 8:00am

Class 4 this week, we have been read the Percy the Part keeper story ‘One Snowy Night’

The children were glued to the book as the animals came knocking on Percy’s door, asking for a warm place to stay for the night.

We giggled when Percy and the animals all fell out of bed and shivered with fright when something came crawling out of the floorboards! Don’t worry, it was just a friendly mole.

 

Class 4 had a great time acting out the story and pretending to be the different animals that came looking for a bed.

Class 8's amazing Topic work on Stone Age weapons

Date: 20th Nov 2020 @ 4:42pm

Class 8 have loved learning about Stone Age weapons. The children found out what they used to make the weapons and the different weapons for the different jobs. They worked in teams of 2 to make their own spear, then acted out being hunter gathers like in the Stone Age times. The children really took on the role as you can see from the photographs. Super stars!

Also this week Class 8 listened to Mr Padley's assembly on Anti-bullying. Then we had a PSHE lesson where we talked about the different kinds of bullying and what they should do if they were being bullied or ever saw someone else being bullied. Class 8 then made a poster with the message to everyone young and old. Let's stand together and be United Against Bullying.  

Another fabulous week Class 8 with your work in school and at home. Well done!

This week in class two we have been learning about the story 'Owl Babies'. As part of this learning the children all retold the story with their group using masks. They were amazing at remembering what happened in each part. For our table jobs the children sequenced the story, matched the pictures and the words and made their own versions of the books. 

In maths we have been learning about the numbers 4 and 5, the children have enjoyed using a five frame to make different amounts. We have also been experimenting with different ways to show the numbers 4 and 5 with shells, numicon, dominoes and the nuumerals. 

For our topic learning we have been learning about owls and that they are nocturnal animals, here are some pictures of the owls that we have made in the creative area!

This week we have been doing some great learning about nocturnal animals. We read the story Owl Babies and did some drama outside. We each took on the role of an owl and told the story using words and actions.

In maths we have been looking at the numbers 4 and 5 and looking at different ways of making them. We are learning to recognise what the numbers look like without having to count them and having been spotting them in lots of different ways.

We have also been talking about e-safety and how to stay safe when using the internet.

We are amazing at Design and Technology!

Over the last few weeks we have been using our Moon Buggy design books to design and create our own Moon Buggies. We showed amazing team learning and resilience today when we made our moon buggy designs. Even though it was tricky at times we showed great persistance and made some amazing vehicles ready for our trip to the moon!  

Year 6 Learning News

This week Year 6 have learnt lots about e safety. We thought about what reliable information  is and how we can tell if the information s is true or false. We also thought about keeping ourselves safe and not meeting others online and how if we have any worries we can speak with an adult. We also looked at anti bullying and the difference between bullying and banter. We thought about how banter can turn into bullying.

E-Safety in Year 2

Date: 16th Nov 2020 @ 11:53pm

We have been learning about keeping safe when using the internet as part of our E-safety day. We looked at a story about Smartie the Penguin and his new tablet. We thought about the problems that Smartie had whilst playing online including pop up adverts, websites for older children and cyber bullying and what he should do in these situations. 

The children made sock puppets of Smartie, film reels of the events in the story and information posters to help other children make the right choices when using the internet.

Below are some examples of the fantastic work they have done which will be added to our new E-Safety display in the computer room.
