Reception – Butterfly life cycle

12.05.2023

This week in reception we’ve had a pleasant surprise!!! Our caterpillars are not caterpillars anymore. They were very busy eating and growing and then building a cocoon around themselves. We placed them into the net and can’t wait to see how are they turning into butterflies. We hope that they will do that during the school day, so we can see it!!!

Next week we will be writing about how caterpillars turn into butterflies and also will be creating models. Stay tuned for that!

In English this week we’ve read the final part of ‘Weirdo’. The children were thinking about how Maud is feeling at the beginning and end of the story, is it OK to be like the others, what makes a good friend. The children were writing sentences about these feelings and they did so well. This is the story if you want to have a look:

In Little Wandle this week we’ve been reading and writing very tricky words like ‘strong’ , ‘string’ and ‘dress’. Having so many consonants in one word can be very difficult, but we are determined to succeed. We also learned 4 new tricky words:

In RE we continued talking about good news and the joy they bring. Thank you very much for sharing your good news with us. Next week we will think about the Holy Spirit and the good news that Jesus is sending the Holy Spirit to keep us all safe.

In Maths this week, the children reviewed the composition of the numbers 6 to 9 using the ‘5 and a bit’ structure, and then explored how 10 can be composed. The children also developed a sense of the ‘ten-ness of 10’ by making their own collections of 10 objects. We used the 10 frame to support us and made different arrangements with different objects:

Another short and busy week with some hints of what is to come.

Year 3 Persuasive writers!

We have been working on our persuasive writing skills, and after we finished reading the book ‘How to live forever’, we decided to write persuasive letters to the main character convincing him to not read the book. Here are some photos of our writing.

On Tuesday we did some planting…

On Tuesday when we came back to school after a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, we were very interested to see what the caterpillars were up to, and wow! Three of them were hanging from the top of the pot! Today we transferred them to the net and now we are waiting very patiently to see what happens next!!

GOD SAVE THE KING! Year Two celebrate in style.

Year Two were very proud to celebrate the coronation of King Charles and we all looked very smart in our red, white and blue outfits. We enjoyed making union jack flags to wave as part of the celebrations and practised waving them to that promenade classic ‘Land of Hope and Glory’ as well as the song ‘God Save the King’, https://youtu.be/JcIAZd8p5fQ a song that we thoroughly enjoyed!

As part of our preparations for the coronation, we made bookmarks that included flowers to represent all four countries in the United Kingdom and then created a colourful display for everyone to see.

God save the king!

This week, we took part in a liturgy to celebrate Mary, the mother of God. We wrote prayers for Mary, Queen of Peace and created a beautiful display to be used as part of this worship.

Reception – God Save The King

What a royal week we’ve had.
We have had so much fun learning about the King’s Coronation. The children were very excited to come to school dressed in white, blue and red and have a very special picnic.

We created lovely ‘Fit for a King’ display. First we made gorgeous crowns and then everyone was crowned. Have a look:

We played in our Coronation cafe, pretending to be Kings, having tea parties and eating cakes and sandwiches.

We learned the song ‘God save the King’. Have a go too. It’s very catchy 🙂

I hope you have a very special weekend however you are celebrating! Please remember to add photos on Tapestry, so we can all celebrate together at school!
Looking forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

Nursery – 05.05.2023

This week we talked a lot about King Charles and the children enjoyed making flags, having a tea party and attending an assembly about all the wonderful things that will happen over the weekend.

On Tuesday we went into the hall and played some parachute games….

The caterpillars have grown a lot since last week and the children have been really interested in looking at them changing. We are now waiting for the next step in the cycle.

Today we had a picnic in class and listened to some classical music.

Come and join us Friday mornings for reading, 8:45 – 09:00am.

Have a lovely long weekend.

See you on Tuesday.

Coronation Celebration

We have enjoyed celebrating the King’s coronation. Here are some photos of what we got up to.

Year 6 celebrate!

We didn’t let the weather rain on our parade. We may have had four seasons in one day on Friday, but we still enjoyed our coronation picnic together . Plan B swung into operation and we sat down together in our classroom for festive feast.

In other exciting news this week, Year 6 became (possible) record breakers when four children lost a tooth in a single day. This achievement smashes the previous record in my class, set in ’03. Well done everyone! (Now please stop wobbling your molars).

Next week, our year six children will be completing the key stage two assessments (SATs). It is really important that the children are able to prepare for this in the way that suits them best – whether this means taking another look at revision books or simply taking the time to relax. The children have all worked really hard, learnt lots, and should know that we are proud of what they can acheive. Next week will fly past in the blink of an eye and I hope they enjoy the chance to ‘show off’ their learning.

Enjoy the long weekend and the coronation, however you choose to celebrate.

Coronation Week

Year 1 have had a week preparing for the King’s Coronation.

On Wednesday, the children learned about the importnat landmarks in London which will be seen by the King as he travels through London in his carriage. The children made pictures and wrote about the King, and have made a beautiful display which can be seen in the assembly hall. The children also learned the words to God Save the King in their music lesson.

Amongst the work on display is some of the computing work which the children have been involved with. In computing they have designed coronation pictures using a paint software.

Finally, today we had our own roayl photo booth whereby the children each had the photgraph taken of them wearing their red, white and blue clothes.

We wish you all a lovely bank holiday weekend celebrating the King’s coronation.
