Shape in all forms!

By Mrs S JILKS1st December 2019

The children have been busy exploring shape.  They have made shape pictures, drawn around shapes, played shapes games and completed puzzles.

Next week we will be taking about the properties of 2d shapes and beginning to explore 3d shapes.

We combined fine motor skill practice with mathematics, threading the correct amount of beads onto the pipe cleaner.  In RE we have started to prepare for Advent. We made an Advent wreath by cutting out our hand shape on green card.

On Friday this week we are looking forward to our visit to Warwick Art Centre to watch Father Christmas.

Exploring Colour!

By Mrs S JILKS24th November 2019

We have been exploring what happens to a colour when we add white.  We are going to make a calendar for the new year with our work.

 

In PE this week we have been practising forward rolls.  Some of us were very good, some will need more practise; it is tricky! We have also been busy writing our names and numbers to 10.

Thank you for all the donations of chocolate this week for the Christmas bazaar.  To wear non-uniform this coming Friday, we are asking for donations of a bottle for the bottle stall.

Children in Need

By Mrs S JILKS18th November 2019

We had a good day supporting Children in Need on Friday.  We made lots of craft activities and also completed some Pudsey Maths.  Next Friday we are in non uniform again, please can you support the Christmas bazaar by providing a bar of chocolate for this.  This week in school we are concentrating on writing our names and some of us will be writing labels and in mathematics we are taking about more or fewer.

The Gruffalo and Zog

By Mrs S JILKS11th November 2019

We had a lovely morning watching The Gruffalo and Zog.  We all had our favourite film and a favourite part in it.  The children all walked down to the theatre very well and their behavior was a credit to the school.

Firework festivals!

By Mrs S JILKS10th November 2019

We had a busy week finding out about Guy Fawkes and how to keep safe on bonfire night. We have also been finding out about the way Diwali is celebrated. We made rangoli patterns, mehndi patterns and watched a video about the festival of lights.

In RE we found out all about the wedding ceremony. We acted out the celebration with a bride and groom, bridesmaids and a priest. We also ate wedding cake and designed a wedding dress or suit for the bride and groom.

Below are a few photographs from the week.

Reception will be taking part in the odd sock day on Tuesday for anti bulling  week and also non uniform day on Friday for children in need.

Please make sure that the children are dressed in warm clothes for our walk to the cinema on Monday.  We are looking forward to the trip.

The Feast of All Souls

By Mrs J Hartwell4th November 2019

To celebrate our school’s special feast day, The Feast of All Souls, we gathered together in the hall to share in a whole school prayer service.

Year 6 led us into prayer beautifully, asking us to remember the souls of our loved ones who have passed. Although it is sad when people die, we remember that they are now at peace with God.

Each class took it in turns to offer forth an envelope filled with their prayers for their loved ones as each class teacher lit a candle to symbolise our prayer intentions.

It was such a lovely way to share in this special feast day!

Christmas Play!

By Mrs S JILKS3rd November 2019

We have started to practise for our Christmas Nativity.  The children all have lines in their reading bags.  Please would you help them to practise them.  Thank you Reception staff.
