Secret Teacher Winner 17.11.17


Well done to Sam who received the Secret Teacher medal this week for his fantastic piece of writing based on Charlotte’s Web.

School Council’s First Meeting

Well done to all the children who put themselves forward to be on this year’s School Council.  Staff were amazed at some of the children’s speeches and the thought and effort which had been put into them.

The children who were elected to be part of the School Council had their first meeting today with Mrs Foster. Everyone introduced themselves and chose their badges. Older children then shared the ‘best bits’ of their election speeches and younger children shared what they were most looking forward to about being part of the School Council.

Class 2 Weekly Update

English: This week the children have been reading the story ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. Two independent groups have sequenced the story, written character descriptions and written their own version of the story. Yellow group have been reading pink RWI book ‘Scruffy Ted’ and Green group have been reading red RWI book ‘Lets swim’.

Maths: In maths the children have been continuing their sharing and grouping and writing sentences such as ‘8 shared by 2 is 4′ and ’15 split into groups of 5 is 3’.

Also if you have any old pots/ pans / trays / bowls / cutlery etc, we would love them for our role play areas.
