Sports Day

On behalf of all the staff, a huge well done to all the children for their excellent behaviour, attitude and effort on Sports Day. It was, without question, the best behaviour and sporting attitude we have ever seen and we are incredibly proud of how the children all looked out for and encouraged each other.

Thank you to everyone who came along to watch – you were a wonderful audience! Thank you also to FOBS for providing the much-needed refreshments throughout the day.

Polished Brass and Windspiration

Well done to the Year 5s and 6s, and the Year 2s for their wonderful performances at Theatre Severn on Monday and Tuesday evening. This was the first time that we have taken part in the Windspiration and we will definitely be signing up for it next year!

Dinner money

The school kitchen need all dinner monies to be paid by Wednesday 10th July at the latest please.

Clubs – fees and collection arrangements

Please can all outstanding breakfast/after-school club fees be paid as soon as possible. School cannot afford to cover the staffing costs if fees are not paid promptly. Thank you.

We are trialling new collection arrangements for after-school clubs. The pedestrian gate will now be closed between 3:30 and 4:30. We recognise that some parents may need to collect children before the end of club at 4:30 so parents will now need to go to the main office between 3:30 and 4:30 and the office staff will arrange for your child to be brought down to the office. The pedestrian gate will be reopened at 4:30 for children to be collected from the eco-room. As with any changes, new arrangements take a bit of getting used to but if we find that the new system works we will make the arrangements permanent from September. We thank you in advance for your support.

We will still be offering after-school provision on Friday 12th July, for those children who will not be attending the Summer BBQ with a parent.

Class 3 weekly update – 5/7/19

English – This week we have been planning and writing a non-chronological report about sea turtles. The children ensured they included an introduction, title, subheadings and subject specific words. These are now up on display outside the classroom and look fantastic!

They have also been using the prefix ‘un’ and using these in their own sentences and sorting different types of sentences including commands, statements, questions and exclamations.

In Read Write Inc the red group have been reading ‘The jar of oil’ and writing a letter in the role as the poor man to the prince begging him for another jar of oil. The blue group have been reading ‘Follow me’ and writing about their experiences of riding a bike for the first time.

Maths – In maths the children have been drawing pictograms by sorting objects into different groups, recording information into a tally chart and using the data from a tally chart to record into a pictogram. Then they were interpreting pictograms by identifying which items are the least/most popular and identifying the correct sentences referring to a pictogram. They have also been making patterns with shapes by using quarter turns clockwise and anticlockwise.

Topic – The children have been finding out about the Daintree rainforest and answering questions such as; What is it? Where is it? Why is it interesting? They then used this information to make their own PowerPoint to share their information with others.

There will be no spellings test next week – well done to all the children for working so hard to learn these over the year.

Class 5 weekly update

Well done Class 5 for a fantastic week!

Our focus in English has been on story writing. The children have used our reading from this week to identify the key events that they needed to get into their writing. From there they have been able to plan changes to those events that they could incorporate into their story in order to make it even more exciting. The children have planned ideas using a wide range of descriptive techniques and vocabulary so they could make their writing detailed and interesting. This is a large piece of work and the children will be carrying on with it next week with our main focus being on proof-reading, analysing and suggesting ways in which the children can edit and improve their first draft.

In Maths we have looked at working with decimals that include thousandths. The children have demonstrated a really secure understanding of place value, working with confidence across a range of question styles. We have looked at equivalent fractions and the relationship between fractions and decimals.

Have a great weekend everyone, I’ll see you on Monday.

Mr Sudlow.

Class 3 weekly update 28.6.19

English – At the start of the week the children were generating open and closed questions relating to sea creatures and ranking them in order of importance. They then discussed and clarified the meaning of words by identifying which were unfamiliar, then researched and recorded their meaning and used them in a context.

In Read Write Inc the green group have been reading ‘In the sun’ and writing a postcard about what activities they like to do at the seaside. It has already made us think of our summer holidays coming soon! The yellow group have been reading ‘The Gingerbread Man’ and writing in the role of the character Seth in the story about what happened with the gingerbread man. The blue and red group have been learning how the prefix ‘un’ changes the meaning of verbs and adjectives and using these in their own sentences. They have also been recognising and writing different types of sentences – statements, questions, commands and exclamations.

Maths – This week the children have been working practically to describe movements and turns using the key vocabulary: up, down, forwards, backwards, left, right, quarter turn, half turn, three quarter turn, full turn, clockwise and anti-clockwise. There has been a lot of information to take in and the children have really enjoyed giving / following instructions to move around the playground. They ended the week by using their knowledge of movement and turns to describe and record their own directions on a map to locate different objects.

RE – In RE the children have been continuing their topic on ‘The Five Pillars of Islam’. They have been learning about the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and what happens during this important time of the year and why it is so important to Muslims. They also linked their understanding to how they observe other religious times and important times in their own lives, e.g. giving gifts at Christmas.

Spellings – To be tested on Friday 5th July. 28.06.19

Hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sun we have all been waiting for!

Class 2 Weekly Update 21/06/2019

As Sports Day is quickly approaching, the children have been putting in their final preparations around school. There has usually been a race or two to the classroom door in the morning and the field has been a hive of activity in the sunshine.
In English the children have done reading activities linked to topic work. Plants, animals and conservation have been the topics of interest. They have answered comprehension questions by recording and have learned to re-read passages to gain a greater understanding when using non-fiction texts. Some of the groups have done RWI where they have moved onto Non-Fiction texts and have been writing about their own experiences related to what they have read about. The children finished the week off by talking and writing about specific animals and birds in Britain which are on the verge of being extinct and said what might be causing this to happen.
In Maths the children have moved onto the area of Place Value. They have initially counted up to and beyond 100 objects by grouping them into 10’s and 1’s. We then moved onto them partitioning into 10’s and 1’s. At the end of the week we compared numbers containing hundreds, tens and ones.
In Science the children have been focussing on trees and have learned about the deciduous and evergreen trees around them in Bicton. They did some leaf identification, rubbings and then annotated diagrams of their favourite within the school grounds. They have already planted their broad beans and have devised a diary to track its progress. They all look to be growing really well and the children helped to saw a few canes down to support them too!
In Topic the children have collected their natural materials to go towards our conservation work of the school grounds. Animal homes, monitoring screens and hides are next on the agenda. We have also looked at local hills surrounding Shropshire, alongside work done about the River Seven.
I would like to say an enormous well done to all of the children who did the Phonics screening check. They all did very well and it was such a pleasure listening to how much they have all improved.
We would like to also say congratulations to Martha for getting Star of the Week award. Martha has been offering lots of insightful and helpful contributions to whole class and group discussions. She has also been a good friend around school.
I hope that you have a lovely weekend together and I look forward to seeing you on Monday.
Mr Mavin
