Category: Our Classes

With our current topic in Geography for this term being Our School, we went around the school to complete some fieldwork.

The children used all their senses at different areas of the school and recorded this information.

Next lesson, we shall be using this information to create an aerial map of the school.

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss Perry

Dear Parents,

Mrs Goldsmith has asked me to pass on the following message for year 5 guitarists:

Please remember to practise between lessons each week so that you can come to the next lesson best prepared to concentrate and learn and good progress can made.

Can parents please remember to sign the practice sheet or book when the practice has been completed.

Please remember to take the instrument home after the lesson (you will need this to practise).

Thank you

Mr Creaton

This week saw the end to our first English topic on a book of poems ‘What I like’. All children worked very hard over the last few weeks, building a variation of techniques to create their own stanza based around the poem ‘Noises Off’. We went to various locations around the school to see what different things we could hear to support our writing.

On Wednesday, after reviewing our work, the children performed their poems to each other and the whole class.

Well done year one for all the hard work you put in!

Today, we created a piece of art using leaves and twigs from the playground. Throughout the year, the children will be learning about the different seasons. With the definite change of weather this week, we learned about how autumn is different to the other 3 seasons and then created trees using leaves.

We saved the slug that wanted to be a new member of year 1 back to it’s habitat!!

Please can I remind you to record in your child’s reading record once you have read with them. Thank you.

Have a joyful weekend!

On Tuesday, the Y6 Prefects were trained by St John Ambulance in First Aid. They learnt how to bandage grazes, use slings to support and all about the DRS ABC.

“It was really fun and will be very useful in the future, particularly for my Prefect duty”

Below are the lyrics to our Harvest song for this year. Mrs Goldsmith will go over this with you tomorrow and I expect you to know the words off by heart by Monday.

Thank you for all the junk modelling resources your children brought in. In Geography, our topic is Our School. During this topic, we have been looking at school and classroom maps. In groups, the children have planned what the classroom would look like from an aerial view.

Using various resources, we created ‘Messy Maps’ of the classroom imagining what the classroom would look like if we were a big giant looking down into the classroom. They had many amazing ideas how to make various equipment and furniture. Here are some pictures.

I am afraid we were unable to change reading books due to Mass being set up in the hall. Please practise the high frequency words with your children that are in their book bags.

Have a lovely weekend.

It was lovely to meet so many of you on Tuesday 17th September at the ‘Meet the Teacher’ meeting. I have attached the slides from the meeting below for you to refer to.

In the mornings, we have been focusing on letter and number formation. It would be great if you could spend some time practising this to reinforce their learning.

I hope you all have a relaxing weekend.

Miss Perry
