VISIT FROM ZOG!

By Mrs S JILKS23rd June 2019

This week we have been busy exploring jigsaws.  We had a visit from an Alien called Zog who had never seen a jigsaw before.  The children had to tell him how to put it together and they found out how tricky it is to give instructions!  They then designed and made  their own jigsaw.  In mathematics we have been recapping addition and subtraction and looking at 3d shapes.

This week we are going to be looking at teddy bears of different shapes and sizes.  On Friday we are going to have a Teddy Bears picnic.  Please would you send a teddy into school on Friday morning.  We will send out a reminder letter later in the week.

Thank you for the old toys and photographs you have sent in this week, the children have enjoy talking about their parents toys.

Father’s Day activities

By Mrs S JILKS16th June 2019

  1. We had a very busy week making cards and book marks for our superhero dads. On Friday we enjoyed sharing lunchtime with our dads even if it was inside due to the weather.

    We have also been exploring mathematical  problems and writing stories. We are praying for our brothers and sisters ready for their special day next week.  We also made a cup and ball toy like we played with at the Black Country Museum.  This week we are looking further at how the toys have changed over time and are looking forward to finding out which toys were your favourite.   It would be great if you could send in a picture of your toy,

A Super Week!

By Mrs S JILKS24th May 2019

The children were fantastic on Wednesday in our class assembly. Well done to all.

After Half Term we are going to be looking at Superheroes.  We are having a Superhero Headquarters in the classroom and have started to build and draw our own superheroes.

On Sunday our prayer friends will be at church for their Confirmation, it would be good to see as many children as possible supporting their friend.

When we start back on Tuesday, the children will walk around the playground in the morning  on their own.  The will be staff on the playground to support them.  Please could you supply them with a water bottle because they will be having a morning break with the other children.

We would like to wish you all an enjoyable break with your families.

 

Planting and Capacity despite the weather!

By Mrs S JILKS12th May 2019

This week we have been learning about capacity despite the weather not being great.  We dodged the rain to explore size and capacity with the water tray and containers.   We also planted some peas that we will be looking after during the next half term.

Our play practise for our assembly is going well, please could you send in your child’s costume this week so that we can make sure all children have something to wear.

Please try to make our ladies night this Thursday, we would like to see you there if you cannot make it we would be grateful of any raffle prize donations.

Below are a few photographs from our week.

This week we will be exploring capacity and writing sentences.  We will also be seeing how well we have practised our spellings.

Please look out for our Summer trip letter to the Black Country Museum.  We will be looking at toys of the past and the present and continuing this work in the classroom.
