Classes

Thank you so much for your very generous donations for our Harvest celebrations.  The charities receiving them will be most grateful.

Reception have had a exciting week with visits from pirates and building houses out of straw (Three Little Pigs) just two of the highlights.  Both topics involved mathematics, literacy and understanding of the world in a fun way.  The children now know that a house built of straw is not the best material to use, particularly when its windy (and cleaning up the mess by the staff will not be forgotten either!)   They also had fun creating their own maps after following the one the pirates left to find treasure.

Have a lovely weekend.

We had a lovely morning at the Transport Museum looking at the wonderful things made in Coventry. The children were all very well behaved and really enjoyed the visit. The world’s fastest car was the most popular exhibit.

Thank you to our parent helpers.

This week we looked at how we make pancakes.  In literacy we wrote the list of ingredients and instructions of how we make pancakes.  Unfortunately Mrs Jilks didn’t follow them correctly and made the oil too hot. This set off the fire alarms and we had a trip to the top of the playground.   It was all good practise!

In mathematics we have been working on the language of time.  We were so good we went on to looking at o’clock and half past on the clock face.

We went to church with our prayer friends on Ash Wednesday and were really well behaved during the service.   Well done to all.

Thursday we all dressed up for book week and completed fun activities around books.

We ended the week looking at different types of technology and talking about what we use them for.

This week we have been making the most of the sunshine and took our learning outdoors.  We have a garage and car showroom and lots of activities to support our mark making and mathematic skills.  In the classroom we have now got a theatre in the role play area. Some photographs of the week are below.  We will be taking part in World Book Day along with the rest of the school.  Children are invited to dress up as their favourite book character. Staff will also be dressing up for the day.  We will be  judging a rock painting competition to see which rock has the best  representation of a favourite story and a prize will be given to the best in each class.  Please send the rocks into school on Wednesday or Thursday morning.

On Friday your child will have brought home a list of new tricky words. Please would you help your child to read and practise spelling them, this really helps with their independent writing.

Reception have been learning a new dance in their weekly dance lesson.  Attached are some clips of the session.  Have a great half term.

This week we have been finding out all about making healthy choices.  We made healthy dinner plates and choose a healthy selection of food groups to make a lunchbox.  Our literacy this week was labeling our choice of foods and we are very pleased with how well the children are getting at sounding out words to write.  On Friday we had tried some of the healthy food choices we had talked about during the week.  Mathematics this week was subtraction.  The children have been practically subtracting and some of them have also completed subtraction worksheets.  We have been practising our handwriting skills, baptising a baby in RE, sharing a prayer service with Year 6, learning new words and listening to stories without pictures or props. Below are some photographs of our very busy week.
