The missing rabbit!

One of the children in Class 1 lost their toy rabbit so the class decided to go on an adventure around the school to try and find it…

The children camauflaged themselves (with their hoods!) and set off on their journey. They had lots of fun and encountered some dangers on their way, one involving finding some ‘mystery fur’ behind the shed….could it have been a polar bear following them??

After lots of searching the children found the missing rabbit safe and sound and made their way quickly (and safely) into school so the polar bear didn’t catch them!

Well done Class 1! Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Monday 19th / Tuesday 20th January 2015

On Monday morning, Class One went on a frosty walk to the woods.

Please see the photosheet for photos and information about our walk.

On Monday afternoon, we used freezing and melting as a focus for a small experiment/investigation.

Please see the photosheet for photos and information about this.

It was lovely to see children bringing in objects/books/pictures for our topic Show and Tell session this morning. The children enjoyed showing each other their things. Please continue to bring in topic related things for Show and Tell (normally on a Tuesday morning).

Head Lice

We have been made aware that there are a couple of cases of head lice in school at the moment. Could we please ask that you check your child’s/children’s hair carefully and use appropriate treatment if you find that your child is affected before they return to school.

There are leaflets available at the Office with the latest information on how to treat for head lice but if you have any queries or questions please do not hesitate to speak to myself or another member of staff.

Thank you for your support.

Weekly News 16th January 2015

The children in all classes seem to be really enjoying their new topics and we are grateful for any resources that children have brought into school linked to their class topic.

Weather

Well done to all the children for their sensible behaviour on the playgrounds, when it was very frosty on Wednesday morning. I have reminded the children in assembly this morning about not running when there is snow or ice and the need to avoid looking for ice to skid on!

Football Club

Now that the nights are a bit lighter, we are able to restart football club from next week. Football Club for Reception/Years 1 and 2 will restart on Tuesday 20th and will run until 4:15 pm. Children can then go into Film Club if they wish until 5:30 pm and will still need to pay for Film Club as last year. Football Club for Years 3 – 6 will restart on Wednesday 21st and will finish at 4:30. The School Office will put this on the calendar by the start of next week so don’t worry if it doesn’t show on the calendar straightaway.

Year 6 Booster

Booster Club for Year 6 will restart on Thursday 22nd and will run from 3:15 until 4:30 every Thursday up until SATs week. It would be great to see all Year 6s there!

Letters home this week:

Years 3 and 4 Stottesdon meeting

Year 6 Dodge-ball tournament (children involved)

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

Class 4 Homework

Dear Parents/Carers,

This is just to make you aware that your child should’ve come home with a piece of literacy homework today relating to writing dialogue. I am unable to put this document on the website so please let me know if your child hasn’t got one.

Also we will be having a times table test every Friday from now on. I have told the children to choose a times table to learn each week (or for longer if necessary) in the hope that they will gradually improve as we continue these tests.

Thank you for your support as always.

Penguins in Class 1

This week the focus in Class 1 has been all about penguins and the children have had lots of fun finding out about them and sharing their knowledge with the rest of the class. Here are some of the activities they have done…

Penguin potato printing:

Independent activities – making penguins using a range of materials and small world objects:

Writing information booklets about penguins – the Year 1 children worked hard to use the topic books to find out lots of interesting facts:

Making penguin movements / dances – the children even tried to pass the ‘penguin egg’ to each other without dropping it which proved quite tricky!

In numeracy the children have been looking at numbers and place value. The Reception children have been ordering numbers up to 10 and practising their number formation. The Year 1 children have been counting in 10s and finding one more and one less with numbers up to 20. Some have even looked at numbers past 20.
