Hi Year 3,

We hope you have all had a lovely half term.

Year 3 will soon be designing and building the human skeleton using junk modelling. To do this, we need to collect materials and resources. If you have any recycling materials (cardboard, bottles, tubes, tubs, foil, containers, boxes etc) that we could use, it would be much appreciated.

If you have anything- please could you/your child bring it by Tuesday 2nd November please.

Thanks,

Year 3 🙂

This week's winning class are...

Birch Class! 

Well done to everyone in this Year 2 class. 

We should be announcing our half term winners this week but we do in fact have a tie between three classes! Can you believe it?! We will see if one of those classes comes out on top in the first week back so that we can then crown the half term winners. 

Great work everyone and remember to keep doodling over the holiday! 

Today Year 1 finished their topic, Enchanted Woodland. We had a tea party in the woods and in preparation made some crowns to wear and some fairy sized treats after learning about needing a balanced diet to stay healthy. 

This week, Year 5 explored a few theme park websites to collect data about different types of rollercoaster rides. They then created bar graphs to present the data. We were amazed at how many different types of rides there were!

What a wonderful start to Year 4 - we are all really proud of how you have settled Year 4 :) Thank you for all of your hard work & effort. We have about a week of learning left in our current Potions topic, then we will be moving onto 'I am Warrior'

We have talked the children through their learning options today & have discussed our knowledge organiser too (this document is full of factual information, great pre-learning for the topic ahead!) 

Head over to our class pages to see our list. All children have brought them home today in an envelope too! We look forward to filling our boards full of creative, historical learning. 

Today in English, we loved using our colourful semantic cards to create some clear & concise instructions. We worked in pairs to collate our ideas. We shared them after with the class too! We had instructions for how to make roast dinners, how to make Lego equipment and how to organise our learning spaces! Well done year 4 :)  

Children are never too young to learn about culture, diversity and history. In EYFS we are passionate about exploring community and the wider world. We have spent this week exploring the stories of inspirational figures who have helped changed the way we treat each other. ‘Respect for all’ has been the buzz phrase in Reception this week.

Head on over to the Video Resource Centre to see the amazing Year 2’s performance their minibeast songs! Look under Pupil Videos

As part of our maths learning and also linked to our English, Year 2 went shopping in Sally’s School Shop!  

We we went in with our money and worked out what coins we needed to buy things and explored the different amounts.  Some of us added the prices of items and some of us worked out the change. It also gave some of us the chance to really embed our understanding of tens and ones in two digit numbers through using 10p’s and 1p’s. We had such a great time that we had to re-visit it in the afternoon too! 

The children really loved this role play activity and we could see so many maths skills within the lesson. Opportunities like this are second to none!  Maybe you could set up a shop at home too using change? Otherwise, there may be a request for a shopping trip coming your way soon! 😆
