Learning about Chinese New Year

We have been learning about Chinese New Year in Class 1 this week. We had lots of fun in PE creating our own Dragon and Lion dances. In class the children made lanterns and masks.

Class 2 update and homework

Year 1

English: This week we have been looking at a range of poems with the theme of night time. The children have enjoyed looking at them and have all identified features of poetry that they enjoy. The children have written their own ‘goodnight’ poems and have been adding adjectives and commas where appropriate.

The year 1 children have been given a sheet to complete over the half term holidays. Miss Owen would like them to write their own poem based on a theme of their own choice, remembering to include adjectives and commas.

Year 1 English homework

Maths: This week we have been looking at weight. The children can identify which items are heaviest and lightest using estimation and a balance scale.

Year 2

English: The year 2 children have continued to focus on punctuation this week; we have looked at capital letters, full stops, commas, question marks, exclamation marks and apostrophes over the last 2 weeks and learned how to apply these in our independent writing.

The year 2 children have been given a sheet to complete over the half term holidays. I would like them to write about their holiday, remembering to include punctuation, adjectives and conjunctions.

Year 2 English homework

Maths: Last week the year 2’s became much more confident with their multiplication work, this week have focussed on division and how we can use equipment and pictures to divide an amount.

D & T

This week we made our fruit salads. The children enjoyed this and should now progress to completing their evaluation sheet which was given as homework.

Spellings

I have provided the children with a sheet called ‘Spelling – Homework Ideas’, this provides the children with lots of fun, creative ways of learning their spellings. They do not have to learn them this way but I thought I would share it for those who would like to have a go.

FOBs Film Night

Thank you to FOBs for organising the film night last Friday.  It was a fantastic evening and, as you can see from the photos, children arrived wearing a wonderful array of onesies and PJs!

Break-time snacks

We have noticed lots of children bringing in snacks for morning break recently that are unsuitable and, whilst we do not want to impose a ban on crisps or biscuits, children should not be bringing in sweets or lollies for a snack.  All children in Classes 1, 2 and 3 are offered a piece of fruit every day and Classes 4 and 5 are also offered fruit on regular occasions.  We thank you in advance for your cooperation and support with this.

Letters home this week

Condover residential – Year 3/4

Walford cross country – team of children involved

Instrumental workshop – Year 3/4/5/6 children involved

Food tasting permission – Class 2 children

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

The 3 Little Dinosaurs

Class One listened to the story of the 3 Little Dinosaurs and the Big Bad T-Rex.

After listening to the story each group made a different type of house for each dinosaur. A cardboard house, a straw house and a house of bricks.  They tried to make them as strong as possible to stop the Big Bad T – Rex from blowing them down.

 

Parent Governor Election

Further to the recent ballot for a new parent governor, all votes received by the end of the school day on Friday were counted and verified today and Mr Steven Davies was duly elected.  We would like to thank all 3 candidates – Steven Davies, Juliette Jennings and Andrew Yamaguchi-Cooke – for standing for election and also to parents who returned ballot papers.

Kind regards

Mrs Johnson on behalf of the governing body

Parent Governor Election

Condover Year 3/4 residential

The next payment is now due for the Condover residential and a letter will be going out next Tuesday which will also include details about when the final balance is due.

Thank You to the Coop

On behalf of all the children and staff, we would like to say a huge thank you to the Coop at Bicton Heath for donating cakes and buns for Class 4’s sale on Wednesday and for supplying the fruit cocktails and other fruits for Class 2’s tasting session earlier this week.  We are very lucky to have such fantastic support from Clive, Laura and the Coop team!

Year 6 SATs Booster

Just a reminder that Year 6 SATs Booster starts on Monday after school from 3:15 until 4:15 in Class 5.  We hope to see as many Year 6s there as possible.

Before-school Clubs

The new 8:30 Club seems to be working well and we hope it has helped parents by being able to drop children off earlier in the morning.  Please could we just remind parents that Breakfast Club runs until 8:30 (£1.50 per child) and children can then pay just 50p to be dropped off from 8:30 onwards. Please do not hesitate to speak to myself or a member of staff in the Hall, if you have any questions about this provision.

Hope you have a good weekend.

Mrs Johnson

Reception children have been busy learning how to tell o’clock times both on the analogue and digital clock.

Year 1 have been practising half past times, not just what the time is on the clock but what the time will be half an hour later or earlier.
