Tasty but messy!

By Mrs S JILKS3rd February 2018

We have had a very busy week ending on Friday by making fruit and chocolate kebabs. We asked the children to help Mrs Jilks decide how we could get the solid chocolate to stick to the fruit. Grace told us that we could melt it in the microwave. Below are a few photographs of the kebabs before we ate them!

 

We have also been practising making CVC words, exploring texture, beginning to learn the language of subtraction and recognising numbers to 20.

Word Aware

The words we learnt this week are behind, before and quiet,  ask the children to explain what they mean and when we could use them.

Next week we are taking part in the internet safety week with the rest of the school, completing activites designed to help us learn how to keep safe.

 

Logos, measure, words, change and drama !

By Mrs S JILKS28th January 2018

We have had a very busy week. We have been looking at reading logos and signs.

We worked in groups to retell the story of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. Cameron made a fabulous troll.

We have been measuring length and height. We worked in groups to order 10 objects from the shortest to the longest.

We ordered ourselves from the smallest to the tallest.

We used our phonic knowledge to help read the logos on lots of different products. This week we also started to introduce the children to our new Word Aware activity that we will be doing every week. We will introduce the children to three words a week and talk about what they mean and how and when we use them. The words this week are low, surprise and cover. Please ask the children the new words of week every week and help us to use them over the weekend.

We also went outside to look at the changes in the environment now that winter is here. We talked about the trees having no leaves and listened to the sounds of the birds.

Jaromir is the tallest in our class and Rosie is the shortest.

Next week we are going to be looking at the alphabet and talking about the name of the letters.  In mathematics we are going to start looking at subtraction, particulary and also beginning to write number sentences.

Addition, phonemes and gestures!

By Mrs S JILKS14th January 2018

Reception have had a busy week working hard on thier phonics and mathematics.  We have been really pleased with how much the children have retained during the phonic sessions.  In mathematics we have been learning how to add and using the words of addtion: add, altogether, addition, makes, equals  and total.  In our dance sessions we have been using gestures to tell a story.  In the week ahead we will be learning about rhyming words, splitting groups of objects equally and tapping out rythms on musical instuments.

Hectic week!

By Mrs S JILKS15th December 2017

We have made it to the end of a very busy week.  Snow made it hard at the beginning of the week but the children loved it. We feel Mrs Elkins enjoyed it the most, she made snow angels.

The Christmas Nativity by the children was excellent we are so proud of them all.

Next week we are looking forward to wearing our Christmas jumpers again on Tuesday for Christmas lunch day, no money needed this time!  Also on Tuesday we look forward to seeing you all at the carol concert in the Church in the evening.

On Wednesday we will be going on our visit to the Belgrade and on Thursday we are having a party day, the children can wear  party clothes.

Year 6 and Reception Prayer Service

By Mr J Marsh7th December 2017

Year 6 and Reception shared a beautiful Advent prayer service this afternoon. Caleb, Lemuel and Carey did a wonderful job of leading the service and were supported by Lily, Niamh and Connor who read bidding prayers with the support of their Prayer Friends, Stanley, Zachery and Nicholas. Well done everyone!

 

 

Special post!

By Mrs S JILKS3rd December 2017

This week we wrote a letter to Father Christmas telling him how good we all have been this year and what we would like for Christmas.  We are hoping that we might get a reply during next week.

We have been looking at shape and using shapes to make pictures. We also made Advent wreaths, using scissors to cut out our hands for a wall display and collecting evergreen leaves to make one to sit on our prayer table.  Ask us about the meaning of the wreath, we did some great listening.

A big THANK YOU for the milk bottles we have now finished the igloo and so do not need any more.

Busy week!

The children have been busy counting and matching number to quantity.

We practised our new skills, ordering, recognising and using numbers to play games.

The play practise is coming along well , the singing is  really good.

Don’t forget to send in your bric a brac on Monday and children to bring a bottle and wear non unifrom on Friday, for our Christmas bazaar on Saturday. Hope to see you all there.
