What a fun week we have had! On Tuesday we went went to see Jack and the Beanstalk. The children and adults thoroughly enjoyed it! Thank you for the parents who came to help. Lena got a special invitation to go on stage and she sang beautifully!

On Wednesday, we were all dressed in our Christmas jumpers and had our Christmas lunch!

On Wednesday afternoon we had two great acts in the talent show. A group dancing to Rocking Around the Christmas Tree and a group singing Last Christmas. Fern, Hanna, Julia and Amber came joint second singing Last Christmas.

We hope you like your beautiful Christmas presents made by the children with Mrs Burgess.

Thank you for your generous gifts and cards.

We have had a busy week! We have been practising for our Christmas Play, thank you for sending in the children’s costumes. Keep practising the songs and dances over the weekend.

Each day we open our Advent calendar and focus on something good to do.

We all made Advent promises on stars and added them onto the display in the hall. The children have been very good at trying to follow their promises and we have had lots of Advent angels.

On Tuesday some of the children planted some trees donated by Sainsbury’s. Year 1 will look after these trees and watch them grow.  They planted two silver birch, two rowan and a hazel tree.

The children have written some fantastic shape poems about Winter

 

In PE we did Jungle Gymnastics, the children were thinking about the different movements that animals make. We had some excellent flamingos, tigers and giraffes.

 

See you on Wednesday at 9.30am for The Magic Jigsaw Puzzle.

 

Have a lovely weekend!

This week was our last week on the story Westlandia. The children have written a recount on a scene from the story. Their writing is wonderful showing their great understanding of the story.

In Gymnastics we made up different sequences with our partners and showed them to the class.

In Maths we have been learning about odd and even numbers. We have been using lots of resources to help us to investigate whether a number is odd or even. We have also learnt a song about Odd Todd and Even Steven to help us.

 

In Science we have been describing the weather in autumn and

identifying the types of clothes we wear.

 

We have started to practise our songs for the Christmas Play,

please practise the songs at home.

Have a great weekend.

Mrs Carey

 

I hope you all had a lovely half term!

This week our learning has been based around the text Westlandia. The children engaged with the text by creating their own worlds using equipment outside and making their own maps of their world. The children worked together in teams and were very creative!

 

In Religion, we have been learning about Jewish traditions. The children enjoyed tasting challah bread and drinking grape juice like Jewish people do on a Friday night to celebrate Shabbat.

 

In preparation for Sunday the children have been learning about WW1 and Remembrance day. The children have made beautiful poppies to remember all of the people who died.

Have a lovely weekend!
