Nursery – 15.03.24

As part of RE this week we thought about Spring, a time for new things to grow. We wanted to watch something new grow quickly in the classroom so on Monday we helped put some cress seeds into large dishes and then watched them grow…

We also thought how we grow in love during the season of Lent and we went to look at the Lenten tree. The children were very good at remembering the promise that they had made and told me that they were keeping them.

In Maths this week we consolidated our learning by playing subitising, counting and matching games.

Year Two poets enjoy the springtime!

Just take a look at our beautiful daffodil cards

Ellis came into school and recited a beautiful poem that he had written himself. Here it is:

Springtime by Ellis

Springtime is nearly here and the sky has become clear.

The sunshine comes out and everyone can play about.

Baby animals are being born at the farm. We go to see them, a super charm!!

The flowers start to grow, some start from seed that we have to sow.

The sunshine helps them and the water does too.

We are happy when the skies are blue

Ellis’s amazing skills as a poet inspired us to write our own poem as a class. We discovered how writing a poem takes time as we brainstormed our imaginative ideas and had to agree on what phrases and ideas would go where in our poem.

Daffodils are yellow …
sometimes white and they use the sunshine to make them bright.
Beautiful daffodils are wonderful to see. …
Sitting beside them makes you happy.
Standing straight like soldiers, all in a row.
Be careful not to step on them, or they will not grow.

Happy Mother’s Day from Year Six

Relive the magic!
Happy Mother’s Day to all of our mums.

Year 4 Books Wishlist

As Mrs Porter mentioned in the bulletin, the birthday traditions at St Adrians include buying a book for the school library, from the year group’s wishlist on Amazon. Here is year 4’s: https://amzn.eu/cP4l70U

Buying a book for the school library is a wonderful way to contribute to the joy of learning and pleasure of reading for current and future pupils. When a child goes to the library, s/he may see his/her book on the shelves and s/he can recommend it to friends. It will have a bookplate on the front cover so readers can see which kind person shared a favourite read with them.

Year Two love to read

This week, Year Two celebrated World Book Day by coming into school dressed as their favourite book characters. What an imaginative group of children they are and they look amazing in their outfits. Can you work out the book title that goes with each outfit?

To celebrate their birthdays, children are encouraged to donate a book to school and their reward for this is to come into school in a favourite outfit.

Some very inspiring books to choose from can be found here: Great books for Year 2

We are also promoting books linked to our science curriculum in Year Two and a link to some titles that you might like to choose from can be found below. There are some smashing books on the list and a name plate will be added to the book, so that there is a record of who donated it. Thank you once again, everyone and don’t forget to keep reading!

Reception – World book day and Mother’s day celebrations!

08.03.24

Hello children and parents,
The focus for this week was definitely Mothers day! We’ve been busy practicing our song, we painted rainbow flowers and of course decorated fantastic Mother’s day cards! In our writing sessions we were thinking about why we love mummy and how we can help her at home with chores! Here is some of our writing… excellent work reception!

On Thursday we had a wonderful day celebrating love for books and reading. The children looked absolutely stunning in their outfits and they were very excited to talk about their favourite stories in class!
We were thinking about all of the places we can read the book and came out with several ideas:
You can read alone or you can read a friend!

You can read outside (how about on a Tuk Tuk bike) or you can read inside:

You can read with a teacher or with a friend:

There can be few things as powerful as regularly reading to a young child. It has astonishing benefits for children: comfort and reassurance, confidence and security, relaxation, happiness and fun. Giving a child time and full attention when reading them a story tells them they matter. It builds self-esteem, vocabulary, feeds imagination and even improves their sleeping patterns.

To celebrate their birthdays, children are encouraged to donate a book to our class library. The reward for doing this is to come to school in a favourite outfit. You can view our class wish-list on Amazon.

And finally to all of you wonderful mums!!!
I love my mum because she is the best!
I love my mum because she always cares for me!
I love my mum because she is beautiful and cooks delicious meals.
I love my mum because she takes me to school every day!
I love my mum because she cuddles me every and reads a bedtime story!

Have a wonderful Mother’s day and make sure you check your child’s Tapestry page for a special Sunday message 🙂

World Book Day!

We celebrated World Book Day by dressing up as our favourite characters from beloved books. Throughout the day, we engaged in group reading activities and shared our favourite stories with one another.

On birthdays we encourage children to donate a book to our class library. As a token of our appreciation they get to wear a non- school uniform on their birthday. Our class wish list can be found on Amazon. Year Three wish-listhttps://amzn.eu/bXpVAyq

World Book Day

The class came dressed as their favourite “book” characters and we shared books with Year 5 and took part in other fun related book activities, like quizzes.

I have started to refresh the book corner to reflect the changing needs of the class and remind the children of the power of our imagination.

Nursery – 08.03.24

In RHE this week we thought how how we could be more like Jesus – caring and sharing with our friends. We learnt that Jesus washed people’s feet so we role played this.

In Maths this week we looked at ways we could make 5, Sammy the Snail and Number 5 helped us how to do this.

Thank you for coming to the Mother’s Day Assembly today, the children enjoyed making their cards. They chose the colours they know you love the most. Have a wonderful Mother’s Day on Sunday.

World Book Day in Year Six

Every year, World Book Day promotes the power of reading. There are so many ways to enjoy reading and it is important that you find your way to read:

Take books home to read.
Listen to books being read aloud (or listen to audiobooks)
Choose the books you want to read.
Ask for ideas on what to read next.
Make time to read.
Find ways to make reading fun!

It was great to see Year Six getting into the spirit of the event, sharing their joy of reading through their costumes and pairing up with children in Year Two to read stories to the younger children. We are currently writing our own stories for our friends in this class and we are looking forward to meeting up again in a few weeks to share these special stories.
