Never a dull day…

It’s certainly never a dull day at Bicton, as you can see from the gallery below!  We had some unexpected visitors shortly after 7:30 this morning so it was quite an experience for the staff as well as the children arriving for Breakfast Club.

Thankfully Mrs Ross and Mrs Hill came to the rescue and stepped in to escort the horses back to their field, accompanied by Miss Moran (in some very inappropriate footwear!)  – thank you ladies 🙂 Thank you to the children for being so sensible and to all the staff who directed traffic, escorted children safely past the horses and for cleaning up what the horses left behind!

Class 3 Weekly Update

It’s been another great week in Class 3…..

English – We have continued reading some Roman Myths. The children have done some independent writing where they were re-telling a myth from the perspective of one of the main characters. They have also done some research on Roman gods/goddesses and have even created their own!

Maths – We have been learning about different types of angles this week – right angle, obtuse and acute. We have also been learning about how many degrees are in different turns and have played some games to practise using lots of good mathematical language relating to this.

French – We have begun to learn the names for different items of clothing this week.

Computing – The children have continued to practise their programming skills by playing on scratch.

RE – We have continued to learn about the Holy Trinity. The children matched some kenning poems to each part of the trinity – God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit –  and then had a go at writing some of their own.

PSHE – We have been looking at bullying this week – what it is and how we can spot it.

PE – We have continued to learn some country dancing this week and have done some fitness activities.

The children have been set some maths homework on purple mash this week. Children who needed paper copies have been given these as requested. This homework is due in on Friday 3rd February.

Class 3 Weekly Update

It’s been another great week in Class 3…

English: The children have enjoyed continuing to read some Roman Myths. We have done some role-play based on these and some grammar and spelling work – revising how to correctly punctuate speech and revision of adding the suffix ‘ly’ to adjectives to make adverbs.

Maths: We have moved onto shape this week. We have been learning about right angles and lines of symmetry as a way of describing a wide variety of shapes. The children have been learning how to spot these, particularly within shapes they are unfamiliar with.

Science: The children have been investigating different types of rocks this week. We have carried out some investigations to test the hardness of rocks and to find out if a rock is permeable.

RE: We have been learning about the Holy Trinity this week. The children have been looking at how Christians describe God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Computing: The children have enjoyed investigating the computer program ‘Scratch’ this week.

PSHE: We have discussed being different and how this can sometimes make us feel. We then discussed various different emotions that we feel at different times. All Class 3 staff were very proud of how open the children were and how sensitive they were towards each other.

Well done Class 3! Have a lovely weekend!

Class 3 Weekly Update

Class 3 have been working hard this week…..

English: We have been reading some Roman myths in English this week. The children have really enjoyed discussing different characters and learning about some of the Roman Gods. They have had a go at re-telling a myth using their own descriptive language. We have also revised some grammatical terms such as nouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs and adverbial phrases.

Maths: The children have continued to use a number line for division this week, with all children working independently as well as some progressing onto using a blank number line. We have moved onto solving division problems which have remainders and have applied our knowledge to one of our favourite maths stories today called ‘A remainder of one’.

Science: The children have become rock detectives this week to kick off our new topic! They spent some time observing, sketching and labelling some rocks before finding out their names.

History: This week we have been finding out the different countries the Romans invaded and when they invaded them.

RE: We have been discussing the similarities and differences between an infant and adult baptism.

PE: The children have done some fitness activities and have begun to learn some country dancing.

PSHE: The children were asked to make some New Year’s resolutions this week linked to home, school, friends etc.

Spellings: The children have come home with spelling homework this week – they need to write their spellings in a sentence. This is particularly important for the children who have been given homophones for their spellings this week.

Well done Class 3 for another week of hard work. Enjoy the weekend!
