Tasting foods from ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar’
Date: 14th Mar 2018 @ 4:06pm
In literacy this week we have been tasting the different healthy foods from the story ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar.’ before we ate them we had a smell, look and a feel and tried to think of as many words to describe the fruits. we then had a go at sounding out the initial sounds for each fruit and looking to match the fruit to labels.

This week, Year 4 have been reading a text about the Tudors called “Under the Rose”. There were lots of difficult words! First, we circled the words we didn’t understand, then we annotated them by writing notes about what they mean. Finally, we made a matching game to help us practise the new words. Super ideas, Year 4!

This week in maths we have been looking at ordering. We have talked about our morning routine and in what order we get ready for school. We found that some children got ready in a different order to others. Some got dressed before they had their breakfast and others had their breakfast before they got dressed. We also ordered out class time line and pictures from our core story of ‘The Very Hungry Caterpillar.’

Thank you to all the children that dressed up and made a donation for Children in Need. Thank you also to all the families that donated cakes and biscuits especially to one special mum who baked such an amazing Pudsey Bear cake! Look at how much the children loved it! We also enjoyed buying cakes and sweets from the year 6 children who raised lots of money for an important cause.

Year 2 counting syllables and segmenting
Date: 14th Mar 2018 @ 4:00pm
Quick Quiz (answers at the bottom!)
1. Can you count the syllables in the word “alligator”?
2. Can you segment the word “frog”?
This week, Year 2 started working on animals in preparation for next term’s topic.
First, we counted the number of syllables on our fingers…
…or by clapping…
…and then we sorted the animal names into syllable groups.
We even fed the “box monster” some animals. Sometimes the box monster wanted 2-syllable animal names and sometimes it wanted 3-syllable animal names. What a hungry box monster!
Later in the week, we segmented the animal names by moving our hands to help us with our spelling.
Super work, Year 2!
ANSWERS:
alligator = 4 syllables (a-lli-ga-tor)
frog= f-r-o-g

As part of our ‘surprise’ celebrations this week we have been celebrating Bonfire Night. Today we have been creating firework pictures on the whiteboard, making bonfire pictures in the Creative Area, jumping like fireworks and creating ‘edible sparklers’. We had such a fun time making them and couldn’t wait until home time when we were allowed to eat them with our grown ups! Look at the fun we had making them!

Thank you to all the grown ups that came to help us to celebrate Harvest this morning. We loved seeing you joining in with the different Harvest and Autumnal activities with your children. We were so proud of the children’s performance of ‘Dingle Dangle Scarecrow’ and ‘The Journey Home from Grandpa’s’ and I’m sure you were too. Have a look at some of the photographs from our lovely morning.

This week, Year 6 have been reviewing their understanding about the Blitz.
First we looked and some pictures and had a discussion about what we think happened. We were able to use and practise our pronunciation of some new vocabulary, such as “Luftwaffe” and “Anderson shelter”.
We also matched some pictures and captions to consolidate our knowledge.
We did it! Well done, Year 6!
Do you know what the “Luftwaffe” was? Ask a Year 6 student!

Miss Foord had asked all the children in school to create kites to decorate our school. The children in Nursery had the most exciting time decorating their kite with their friend. There were so many different things to choose from! Now the kites are finished they look fantastic and the children are very proud of their creations. Our Nursery kites will be displayed in our shared areas. Ask your child’s teacher if you would like to have a look!
Reading and building sentences
Date: 14th Mar 2018 @ 3:57pm
We have recently been working on reading and building sentences with pictures and high frequency words.
We read the sentence on the board and found the words/pictures in the tray…
…then we put them in the right order…
…next we brought the sentence over to check…
…and finally we checked our skills against the success criteria!
We did some good looking, good pointing, saying what you see and going back to check. Great job!
