A busy week of learning! In Science, we have continued our learning on materials. The children made posters to show objects and their properties.

On Thursday, we had a special visitor, Bishop John Sherrington. He spoke to us about his role as a bishop and we asked him lots of interesting questions. He enjoyed listening to us sing.

On Friday we led the school assembly about St Paul and his message of God’s spirit being in all of our joy. The children were fantastic! They all read and sang beautifully. We hope you all loved your beautiful smile your children gave to you.

Have a great weekend

We have had a great week of learning! In Literacy we have been reading the story ‘The Last Noo-Noo’ By Jill Murphy. The children did some hot seating on the different characters in the story and they answered some great questions from the other children.

In Numeracy we have been making equivalent number sentences.

5 + 1 = 3 + 3. They have been using a variety of resources to check that both sides are equal.

In Science, we started our new topic Materials. The children used their senses to describe how materials felt and then sorted objects into different groups.

This term we are learning about how God is with us everyday. We have been thinking of times when we feel God’s presence in all the wonderful things we do. We have been focusing on when we feel or see joy around us.

We look forward to seeing you at our class assembly on Friday 25th January.

Have a great weekend.

Happy New Year! I hope you had a lovely Christmas. The children have settled in well and enjoyed telling me about their wonderful holidays.

Mr Chico, a trainee teacher has been supporting in our class for a few weeks before Christmas and will be with us until the end of January.  The children have made him feel very welcome.

 

We started the week with a Act of Worship, thinking about Amelia. The children were very respectful and prayed for people they cared about.

In Literacy we read the story The Three Little Pigs and the children acted out the story. The expression they used for the different characters was fantastic!

In Numeracy we have been looking at different ways to make different totals. The children enjoyed making equivalent number sentences using dinosaurs.

The feast of the Epiphany was on Sunday 6th January so the children made crowns for the assembly on Friday. They all thought of a gift for 2019 . The children acted out the story of the Epiphany and retold it in their own words.

Have a lovely weekend.

We have had a busy week! This week is Anti Bullying Week and Parliament week. We started by looking at what bullying means and what we should do if we think bullying is happening. We made some posters to show what bullying is. The children took part in a workshop on anti bullying and looked at how bullying makes people feel.
