In the woods

This morning Class 1 went to the woods….they listened to the story of ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and then worked in pairs to freeze frame one of the scenes from the story. Some even managed to have a go at doing more freeze frames. They were asked to think carefully about their body language and facial expressions to get in the role of the characters – there were some very convincing faces!

It has been busy in Class One!

I have uploaded a photo sheet of our Teddy Bear’s Picnic – you can find the link below. Once again, thank you for your support in making sure the children had lots of yummy food to enjoy together.

Today, we have had a very busy day so far in Class One. We started the morning with a reading session. We are trying to work our way through the children to ensure that they have a ‘choice book’ to enjoy in addition to their scheme book. Please could you send in any school books that your child has had at home so that they can go back into our reading room.

The Reception children spent a little time in our outdoor area this morning. The Year 1 children have practised their mental arithmetic with me.

We had Letters and Sounds before break today too. The Year 1 children were exploring the alternative /air/ sound – ‘ere’ , as in where and there. The Reception children were having a look at the ‘i – e’ sound, as in bike, kite, prize and hide.

After break, we had a Mathematics session. Some children were finding out about ‘teen’ numbers and how these are made up by adding more to 10. We used bead strings, multilink and number tracks to demonstrate this. Some children worked with Miss Bellis to revise counting steps of 2. This involved finding out about pairs and looking at how things can be counted in two’s, such as shoes.

(I have just realised that I have dated these as tomorrow! These are from today, 11th May 2015).

Visit to Bicton Church

As part of our RE topic this term Class 1 have been looking at special places around them. Today we went to a special place in our local community – Bicton Church. The children first of all looked at all the parts of the church and found out what they are used for – e.g. font, altar, lectern, pulpit, pews…. Then they spent some time exploring the church and sketching some of the parts of the church we discussed.

Weekly Newsletter 8th May 2015

Cross Country

Cross Country took place but with a difference this week. Instead of getting too wet running around the village, Mrs Barker did a fun Zumba session in the Hall!

We will always do our best to get the children out and about on Fridays after school so it would be helpful if children could have a waterproof in their bag just in case of wet weather.

Cancellation of Clubs

If clubs ever need to be cancelled because of the weather, we will always phone to let you know to save you having to contact school.

SATs Week

Year 6 SATs start next Monday and the children have worked really hard this week to make sure that they are as prepared as they possibly can be. I’ve reminded them to have an early night on Sunday and a good breakfast! We wish them good luck and are sure they will all do their best.

Year 2s will also be doing their SATs next week, as Miss Moran discussed at Parents Evening.

Letters

Please could any remaining Class 5 swimming letters and Arthog medical forms be returned as soon as possible.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Class 4’s General Election

Yesterday in Class 4 we learned all about the general election and the different parties and people representing them. We split the class into groups and each group represented one of the parties and had to try and persuade the rest of the class to vote for them. We then each visited the polling booth and cast our votes. There was a tie with Green Party and The Conservatives receiving the most votes!
