Snow play!

By Mrs S JILKS2nd December 2018

This week we are looking forward to our visit to play in the snow.  We will meet real reindeer and see Father Christmas.  For part of the visit we will be playing in real snow so please can you make sure that your child has warm clothes and wellington boots.

At the start of the week we will be writing a letter to Santa with a list of toys we wold like for Christmas.  In Mathematics we will be talking about one more and one less.  We will also be continuing to practise for our Christmas Nativity, the children are working hard and looking forward to showing you the results of all their hard work.

The children have made an Advent wreath  for our classroom and also written a class prayer.

There will be lots of different stalls, cake and tea, a performance from our wonderful choir, a secret room for present purchasing, a very special visit from a very special man and lots more for you to enjoy!

As always, we thank you for your kind donations and encourage them to keep on coming. We are in particular need of chocolate (bars/tubs/etc) and any other little bits and bobs for the tombola or raffle prizes.

We would also like to remind you that this Friday is ‘Bring a bottle’ into school day where we ask the children to bring in a bottle in exhange for wearing non-uniform for the day! These donations do really make a difference and make our bazaar the success it usually is.

Many thanks 🙂

Shapes, puzzles and patterns

By Mrs S JILKS26th November 2018

It was a very busy week, we looked at patterns, shapes puzzles and computer games. We wrote sentences and practised some new tricky words. Please help your child practise these. Thank you

Thank you

By Mrs S JILKS18th November 2018

A big thank you again for your donations for Children in Need.  The children  had a great day and enjoyed their picnic.  We would like to say thank you to our year six prayer friends who came down to help us complete some of the activities.  

This week we are going to be thinking about what we are good at and then writing a sentence about it.  In mathematics we are going to be exploring shape and patterns, using objects and shapes to make patterns and build models.

If anyone has any buttons or sequins they no longer need we would be grateful of  them for our craft area,  thank you.

Children in need

By Mrs S JILKS16th November 2018

Thank you for your donations for Children in Need.  The children have had a fun morning and are looking forward to the picnic this afternoon.

b or d ?

By Mrs S JILKS9th November 2018

We have been practising our phonemes again this week. We have been focussing on ‘b’ and ‘d’ because they are tricky to recognise.

Some of us are getting very clever at writing.

We are continuing with our R Time programme, this is showing us good manners, how to work with others and how to think about another persons point of view. We do like the sessions because they are fun.

Reception will be taking part in the Children in Need day with the rest of the school.  We are having a wear spots to school theme, the spots can be on clothes or painted on faces.  We are asking the reception children to bring a teddy to school and we are going to have a teddy bears picnic (indoors) during the afternoon.

We would be grateful if anyone has any baby doll clothes that are no longer needed, our baby doll is little bit cold!

Festival Fireworks

By Mrs S JILKS4th November 2018

This week we have been finding out about Guy Fawkes and Diwali.  Both involve celebrating with fireworks.  We made firework pictures and recorded ourselves making firework noises.  We also watched firework safety videos about how to keep safe at a bonfire party.  We hope that the children put this to good use and stayed safe, whilst enjoying the firework parties.

We also have been exploring rhyme.  The children were very good at finding the rhyming words in our stories and rhymes.  We are now working on completing rhyming strings.

Thank you for your £1 donations, we have bought a box of Ferby crayons, they make all the difference when the children are colouring their work.

In the week ahead we will be counting out objects and naming them as we count, learning about what we need to do to write a sentence and thinking about how to look after others.

 

Meeting cancelled.

By Mrs S JILKS29th October 2018

The parent information meeting that was due to take place this Thursday has unfortunately been cancelled, due to a lack of interest.  If you were one of the parents who  did have a concern, one of our members of trained staff would be more than happy to meet with you and talk through your worries.  Sometimes just sharing helps you to see a way to solve a problem.  Please talk to Ms Croarken or Mrs McCloskey if you would like an appointment.

Oh no! It’s that time of year.

By Mrs S JILKS19th October 2018

It is really early to be thinking the Christmas word but we have to think ahead.  We have given the children lines for the Christmas play to practise over the holidays.  It will really help if you can practise these with you child because some children do have a lot of words to learn.

We are very pleased with how far the children have come in just one half term, they have worked so hard.  We have a lot to look forward to when we come back, one of them being the Christmas Nativity Play, but also a trip out to the Snowdome to see Father Christmas.

We hope you have a lovely half term break and we look forward to the term ahead.

Below are a few photographs of our week,exploring our senses and looking at patterns.
