Year 1 find out about the changing seasons
Over the last two weeks, the children have been exploring the school grounds, learning about the changes that have occurred as a result of autumn’s arrival. We have talked about how the days are getting shorter, the weather is cooler and leaves are falling off deciduous trees. The children have enjoyed sweeping up the many leaves in the infant playground.
Over the holiday, please check that your child is able to independently put on their scarf, hat and gloves and that these are clearly named. Your child will need these in school when the weather really starts to get cold!
I am looking forward to meeting with all parents during the consultations on the 1st and 2nd November. Please ensure that you have booked your appointment online.
Have a wonderful holiday together.
Year 5 Week 6
As usual, we have been very busy here in Year 5 . Highlight of the week has to be the performance of ‘Potatoes’ at the Harvest assembly. Well done to everyone.
Also, I was very pleased with the sporting prowess with six of the boys in the class who received their first call up to the senior squad to play football against Park Street; being edged to the spoils by a very strong Park Street team. And then, later in the week, beating Windemere in another closely fought game.
Have a great weekend,
Mr Creaton

Year 1 learning
In science, this week, the children explored different foods and found ways to sort them. These included sorting them into foods that are good for you, or not so good for you, as well as sorting them into vegetables, fruit or meat. Please talk about where food comes from at home, so that children can learn more about this.
In maths, the children have been finding ways to show 6, with the additional challenge of recording these using pictures, words and symbols. The children explained their thinking to each other to show that they understood their calculations.
On Thursday, we will be celebrating harvest in school with an assembly that you are warmly invited to at 9am. Please send in your donations for our local food project, Feed on Wednesday or Thursday. Further details about this charity can be found at: https://www.thevineyardchurch.co.uk/feed

Year 5 Week 5
This week we have been completing our own legends stories in English and the children have been pushing themselves to be more adventurous with their vocabulary and sentence constructions.
In Art, we have continued our still life compositions by making oil pastel drawings of fruit – some of the children’s work looked good enough to eat (unlike some of the actual bananas which I’d left ‘ripening’ at home a little too indulgently).
In science, we looked how shadows vary through the day and we started using Ordnance Survey map symbols in Geography.
Have a great weekend,
Mr Creaton
