Class 2 weekly update

I’d just like to say a huge “WELL DONE!” to Class 2 for their performance in Celebration Assembly this morning.

This week in…

English: Red group have been reading the Orange RWI book called ‘Playday’ and answering questions and writing exciting sentences about their book. Blue group have been reading the Green RWI book called ‘The Web’, they have also enjoyed writing interesting sentences about their book. Green and Yellow group have been independently writing this week about our class story Captain Beastlie’s Pirate Party.

Maths: This week the children have been practising counting in twos. We have read the story ‘Noah’s Ark’ and acted out the story in the hall. The children were placed into partners and given an animal to act out, they they counted as a whole class using their counting in two skills.

Science: We had lots of fun in Science this week, luckily it was a lovely, sunny day so we went outside to look at our shadows. We played shadow ‘tag’, drew around each other’s shadows and then made shadow puppets.

History: The children looked at entertainment in the past in our History lesson and watched a Punch and Judy show. We then made our own puppet shows using the wooden spoon puppets we made in a previous lesson and hand puppets.

RE: The children listened to the story of Moses in RE and recognised that he was an important leader for Jews. They then ordered the story and reflected on who they thought was an important leader for them.

Spellings: To be tested on Friday 3rd November.

Spellings 20.10.17

Harvest Celebration

We hope to see you at our Harvest Celebration this Friday in the school hall at 9:25. The children are looking forward to sharing their end-of-half-term performances with you and celebrating their achievements this term. Please can we ask that you use the Village Hall, once the school car park is full, and refrain from parking outside the school on Bicton Lane as this can cause the road to become blocked. Thank you in advance for your support with this.

This time we will require all visitors – parents, friends and family members – to sign in on arrival and signing-in sheets will be at the main entrance for you to use on arrival and then sign out on your departure. This is part of our safeguarding procedures.

Harvest Donations

Thank you for the donations we have received so far and there is still time for you to bring a donation into school if you would like to do so.

Car Park Safety

Please can we remind adults to adhere to the speed limit when driving into and out of the school car park, particularly when dropping off at Breakfast Club. The speed limit is there for everyone’s safety. Thank you.

Church Inspection

We are looking forward to welcoming an inspector into school this Thursday, to evaluate the distinctiveness and effectiveness of our school as a church school.

Clubs

Please remember to check the website for clubs running next half-term, just in case there are any changes.

Letters home this week

NSPCC letter – whole school

On behalf of all the staff and governors, thank you for all your support this half term and we hope you have a good half-term break.

Harvest Celebration in Class 1

This half term the children have been learning about Harvest Festival. They have looked at Harvests around the world as well as in the UK. To end our unit the children will be baking bread on Thursday. We have read the story of ‘The Little Red Hen’ and all the children have agreed that they will be very helpful not like the animals in the story.

As part of our Celebration the children would like to bring in some food from home and set up a Harvest Festival display in the class room (this will then be added to the whole school Harvest collection on Friday).

Some of the work we have done is displayed in outside the classroom in our Reflection area.

Class 4 so far this week…

We have continued to explore Charlotte’s Web and have all read/listened to Chapters 10 and 11. Yesterday, we looked at newspaper front pages (‘First News’ is great for allowing children to explore the features of a newspaper and keep up to date with the news!). The children found out about features of a newspaper front page, such as the logo, the lead, the masthead and advertising. The children had to label a front page with the features and discuss their meaning and purpose. Today, we explored more features of a newspaper – including the use of quotes, photos and headlines. The children ‘hot-seated’ the character of Mr Zuckerman and interviewed him after having found the web with ‘Some Pig’ woven into it. They then had to think of a suitable headline for a newspaper article.

In Maths, we have been using a combination of the column addition and subtraction methods and switching between the two. Today, we looked at how to add/subtract money using place value and number facts. The children realised that the change they would receive from paying with £99.99 is 1p less than paying with £100.00.

We have spent time learning more about the Fruits of the Spirit and how these relate to our school values. We also completed our watercolour paintings of the barn scene from Charlotte’s Web. These are going to look beautiful on display.
