We.ve had a lovely time commencing the Christmas celebrations this week! We have been like litle elves making Christmas cards, party hats, table decorations and calendars! On Wednesday, we pulled crackers before going into the hall to eat our delicious, festive Christmas dinner! We were so excited to see the tables decorated and sang Christmas songs whilst we ate our lunch!

Reception had a great time visiting Santa's grotto and getting to meet Santa. They asked him lots of questions and told him all about what they would like for Christmas! Then we listened to the story The Night before Christmas!

We've had such a busy penultimate week to the term! As we continue with our learning about Victorian inventions, we learned about different types of bridges. We then had a go at making our own out of cardboard. In groups of four, children then let a toy car pass over their bridges. The adults in the class were so impressed with the children's ability to work together and help one another understand the man many steps involved!

On Friday we came to school wearing some fabulous Christmassey jumpers, dresses and head gear. Everyone looked amazing and after school we joined in with all the festivities at the Christmas Fair. We even had twins in the same Christmas dresses!!?

This week Key Stage 1 performed our Christmas Nativity 'It's a baby!' The children were all fabulous and performed beautifully! Every child was able to showcase their talents whether it was narrating, singing or dancing which was a delight to watch. The children have throughly enjoyed the experience especially when their parents came to support them!

What a week it has been! I can't believe that in 6 days we have chosen roles, learnt lines and songs to perform to all the grown ups at home on Tuesday. The children were amazing and we had some very talented actors, singers and dancers.
Here is a short video of the children dressed in their wonderful costumes.

We have been looking at some of the exciting things some people like to do around Christmas time in the UK. We have decorated the school with Christmas trees and tinsel, sung some Christmas songs and we will be eating a special party meal next week. Something we do everyday in December , is take it in turns to open a door on our advent calendar. Look what one of our year 5 children got as a treat from it today!

Look who came to visit us on Friday!! Mrs Thewlis had some contacts and we had a special visit from Santa. We had a lovely chat with Santa, shared our present ideas, took a photograph with him and he gave us all a present. Some children even gave Santa a special picture or letter that they had made at home.

Thank you to everyone who attended progress meetings (parents evening) last Tuesday and Wednesday. It was great to meet everyone and share your child’s achievements during the first term in Year 1. Check your child’s book bag as the progress report and booklet of resources were sent home on Friday.

Hello,
Well, it is definately starting to look like Christmas in Year 2 ! it has been such a busy week and the children have been practising hard for their Christmas performance, next week. We know that the children cannot wait to sing, dance and act for all the parents. We are sure you have heard some of the songs being performed at home. If the Nativity performance wasn't enough we have had a visit from Santa and all the children in 2KW got to tell him what they would like for Christmas.
The class is being decorated from now and the tree is up, waiting for the children to make baubles and paper chains to add to it! All the children have also also enjoyed writing a letter to Santa and were amazed when their letters were collected during the lunchtime from Santa's secret elves. You wouldn't believe how much fairy and elf dust was in the class!!! The children had to be careful that they didn't get dust on them and fly away too! Santa also phoned the children in the afternoon to thank them for the letters! hopefully Santa will reply by next week. We can't wait for the next two weeks of learning!!!
We wonder who is going to get the chocolates from the advent calendar next week.
Merry christmas

In reading, we have been exploring how to work out what different vocabulary means. We used a variety of techniques, including reading around the text, looking for root words, prefixes, and suffixes, and employing synonyms. All these strategies helped us discover what new vocabulary meant, and we will now be able to include it in our writing.

This week, we have been using using language which tells us where something or somebody is. We have found lots of opportunities to use this language around school: In our line when we are moving around the school to see who is in front or at behind, which month is after November or which day comes before Wednesday. We can use positional language in so many different situations!
Generating adjective using Chat Mats
Date: 27th Nov 2022 @ 8:29pm
Last week we started our next story called ‘Stickman.’ We used our prediction skills to guess what might happen by just looking at a picture. Then we learned new vocabulary, understood what it meant and used word rap to remember the words.
We learned about what settings were in a story and generated adjectives to describe what Stickman could see and hear in each setting. We used an activity called chat mats to work in two smaller groups to think of adjectives and then use them to write some sentences.
Understanding Compass Points in Geography
Date: 27th Nov 2022 @ 8:24pm
Last week we were introduced to a compass. We looked at some compasses and learned about the four compass points of north, east, south and west. We learned why a compass might be used and how we can use the compass points to give directions.
We played a partner game where we imagined we were the wolf and our partner hadn’t to give us some directions using the compass points to get to each house that the wolf built.

Hello,
In 2KW we have been listening to stories and watching information about The Great Fire of London. The children have really enjoyed going into role as some of the important characters and retelling the events. They loved wearing masks and props to help them commit to the characters they were playing!
Can you guess what characters they are? One of the characters was responsible for the fire starting!
Hope you have enjoyed the blog this week!

On Thursday, Year 4 visited the St Cross Church.
This linked to our R.E topic 'What is it like to be a Christian in Britain today?'
During our visit, we were able to explore many different areas of the Church. These included the Vestry, Ladies Chapel, Font and Sunday School area. Father Chris was able to teach us about the importance of the Church to Christians, whilst answering the hundreds of questions that we had.
Each child followed our school rules of being respectful, responsible and safe. They were brilliant ambassadors for our school!
Attached are some pictures of our morning there.

Hi All!
As some of you may know, this week we have been doing some Year 3 assessments. I am SO proud of the dedication the children have shown me. They have worked extremely hard and I look forward to sharing their results with you at parents evening next week.
If you need any help booking an appointment for parents evening please see me after school. I still have about 10 slots available and would love to see you all over the Wednesday and Thursday evenings!
This afternoon the children have asked for a biscuit decorating Golden Time - and who am I to say no after such a fantastic week of work?! Hopefully they manage to bring some home to share with you...
As always if there is anything you need please come and see me at the end of the day. I am always happy to make time to chat or help with anything you or the children need.
Have a great weekend and see you all on Monday!
Miss Higgins :)
Why does the world need great inventions?
Date: 23rd Nov 2022 @ 5:04pm
In Year 5, we have been using our CC language and learning to write our own sentences. We have captured ideas from the pictures in the non-fiction book and added them to our sentence starter to create our very own sentences about great inventions. Which one is your favourite?
