Class 3 Weekly Update

English: This week we have been focusing on grammar. We have spent some time learning about the present perfect tense. We have been learning how to spot it in sentences, how to say it and how to write it. The children have tried really hard with this but have found it quite challenging so it is something we will be revisiting.

Maths: This week we have continued our work on fractions. The children have solved some problems involving finding fractions of amounts and have been comparing fractions. Some of the year 4 children have been writing fractions as decimals and have learned how to round a decimal to the nearest whole number.

Science: We have been carrying out our investigation this week and have written our results and conclusions.

Geography: We have continued our work on settlements this week by finding out how the names of places in the UK can give us clues to who settled there originally. The children have practised their map reading skills and have labelled some of these places on their own map of the UK.

PE: The children have enjoyed playing rounders this week as well as continuing their Tennis lessons.

RE: The children have been planning their art work based on the Christian Creation Story.

Well done for working hard this week Class 3! Have a lovely weekend!

Forest School

Today we had a special visitor to Forest School and she was very impressed by the children’s behaviour and their confidence to explore the site. We had lots of fun making shelters for toy animals and lots of children found some interesting insects. The children enjoyed having their drink and snack under a shelter, away from the rain.

Green fingers

Just before half term, Class 1 planted out broad beans, radishes, potatoes carrots and lettuce. The children were very excited to see that they have all been growing. We asked Sue in the kitchen if she could use some of our produce for school dinners. Today some of us had salad with the lettuce picked from our garden patch – Yum!

Final Gardening Day – A Huge Thank You!

I would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to help at our final gardening day on Saturday. It was a warm day, to say the least, but Marina and Barbie ensured that we were all well fed and watered to keep us going all day. They even used the new kitchen in the eco-room to prepare lunch for everyone and it’s great to see it being used outside school as well as during the school day.

Thank you to everyone who has played a part in creating such a beautiful wildlife garden for the children to enjoy for many years to come!

Gardening Day

Tomorrow, Saturday 24th June, is our last gardening/DIY day and we would love to see you if you can spare an hour or two. FOBS will be serving refreshments again and thank you to people who have offered to bring cakes along as well.

The children from Nursery upwards have been using the wildlife garden over the past couple of weeks and it has been lovely to see it in use. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in the project and created such a wonderful area for the children to enjoy.

Sports Day

Thank you again to everyone who came along to watch the children take part in our Sports Day and also to FOBS for serving refreshments. We are working our way through the hundreds of photos that were taken during the day and we will upload a selection to the website as soon as possible.

In assembly on Thursday, the children in every class split into pairs with younger children working with older children to share what they enjoyed most or what they were most proud of. Some of these comments will then be put up on display for everyone to read alongside photos of the day. Bicton children we are all extremely proud of you!

Arthog

Please could any outstanding balances for Arthog be paid on Monday. A letter about what children will need to bring with them for the journey/Friday afternoon will be sent home on Monday, together with some key info about the visit.

Please see a flier below that we have received from the producers of the ITV show Little Big Shots.

Sainsbury’s Vouchers

If you still have any Sainsbury’s vouchers left at home, we would be very grateful for them. Some of the Year 5 boys have been busy counting them over the last couple of weeks and they have audited our PE equipment ready to tell me what they think we need to order with the vouchers!

Class 2 weekly update

English – This week the children have continued to look at poems. They have been reciting fun poems in groups and writing their own version using rhyming words.

Maths – The children have revisited money this week. They have been adding coins together to make an amount, finding change from 20p (year 1) £1 (year 2) and using number lines to support their working out.

Science – In Science the children were looking at a range of different trees and the specific parts of a tree. They discussed the importance of a trees roots, bark and leaves etc. Then they drew their own tree and labelled it.

Geography – In Geography we learned more about the way seasonal weather in a polar region is different to the weather in the United Kingdom. The children looked closely at the city of Tromso, Norway. They learned about the typical day in Tromso and compared it to their typical day in the UK and wrote diary entries.

Art – The children completed some lovely paintings of a typical beach scene in the Summer. We discussed how dabbing the paper with a paintbrush causes textured effects. The children had a go at this and I was very impressed!

Spellings – To be tested Friday 30th June 2017.
