We know our children are amazing learners in school. Everyday we see new skills being honed and developing learners exploring their environment in creative ways. Learning and success is not just reserved for school however. Loads of cool stuff happens outside of school in the company of family and friends. We use ‘WOW Slips’ to capture and share these special moments. Already we have had a child who can get dressed all by herself, a child who stayed at their friends party without their dad and a child who used her artistic skills at her granny’s house to paint an amazing picture! Remember, WOW Slips can be found outside Mr. Lopez’s classroom on the Parents Noticeboard. Start filling them in and return them to school for us to share with the all of the children.

We have seen some excellent home learning coming in so far after the holidays. Lots of you have already learnt lots about minibeasts and have shared some fascinating facts with us. Here are just a few examples of your works of art. 

Today, Year 5 started to plan their music to go with a poem about shooting stars.

Please keep an eye out in book bags tonight for a letter about some changes we are making to reading at home in Reception. We would love you to come along to one of our information sessions about Reading and Phonics on Wednesday 6th March 9 - 9.15am or Friday 8th March 3.15- 3.30pm. We hope to see lots of you there - there will be biscuits! 

Bright sunshine bathed the pitches at Kings School this afternoon for high quality hockey performances from 14 schools across East Devon.  ☀️🏑 The Honiton squad of 8 worked hard, defended with some key tackles and rightly earnt their route to the quarter finals! A fantastic afternoon - well done team 👏🏻😃

Another lovely 'stay and play' session in Nursery today. We love to see the mums, dads and grandparents using the resources in our nursery to play with their children, and the children really enjoy showing their loved ones what they get up to in nursery.

Some incredible home learning already beginning to arrive for our next topic on Workd War II.

 

Fantastic engagement.Well done Year 6!

Year 3 PE

 

A new term, a new sport. For the the next six weeks the children will be focusing on football. 

Today saw them but their ball skills to the test, also being challenged with some dribbling and awareness activities. It was great to enjoy some sunshine at last.

Year 2 have been learning all about habitats. We started off by thinking about our own and in groups we designed habitats that had food, water and shelter. 

We then thought about other habitats and which animals might live there. 

What would your habitat look like?

Our new topic for this half term is Bright Lights Big City! Both classes have been very busy over the half term by doing lots of home learning around this new topic. Lily Jeans has been particularly busy and has created this inspirational video for us all to enjoy and see what she has done for her home learning - well done Lily!

Keep up the great work and effort with your home learning Year 1.
