In year 6, we continue to work on the spelling pattern of adding able, able, ably, ably to the end of words. Yesterday we kept ourselves active by playing a game of ‘Boom boom clap’. It was great fun but also it was fabulous to see the children recalling the correct spelling patterns.
The nursery children went on a nature walk this morning to explore how our environment is changing in Autumn. We talked about the weather and linked our senses to the environment around us. The children came up with some great sentences and adjectives to describe the season and were excellent at following rules and routines when moving around our school.
Excellent work Nursery Crew!
This week in RE, we looked at building background information on the different forms of the Hindu god. We learned about Ganesha, Lakshmi and Vishnu to name just a few. We also managed to get in some active learning by moving around the classroom to collect the information!
Today in our English lesson we ensured we kept ourselves active as this not only helped us stay engaged but meant we had opportunities to move around the room and work collaboratively with others. In spelling we went on a treasure hunt around the room to read the words and select the correct missing word for each sentence. After we completed our story plans, we danced around the room to music and when the music stopped we shared our ideas and told our story verbally to a new partner. Some were more willing dancers than others!
Well done everyone – great learning!
We started National Fitness day with a yoga session!
We had a fab afternoon for National Fitness Day. We started with a bit of cosmic yoga in the classroom and then onto a whole school workout on the field.
Well done everyone! Your enthusiasm was amazing.

What a great way to remember our spelling sounds with “boom, clap and splat”. We absolutely loved our active spelling session 🙂

We appreciate your support in keeping our school a safe and healthy environment for everyone.
Department for Education guidence for children under the age of 5 years:
*remove any stones and pips from fruit before serving
*cut small round foods (like grapes, strawberries and cherry tomatoes) lengthways and into quarters
*cut large fruits (like melon) and hard fruit or vegetables (like raw apple and carrot) into slices instead of small chunks
*cut sausages into thin strips rather than chunks and remove the skins (sausages should be avoided due to their high salt content)
*remove bones from meat or fish
*do not give whole nuts to children under five years old
*do not give whole seeds to children under five years old

*do not give children popcorn as a snack
*do not give children marshmallows or jelly cubes from a packet, either to eat or as part of messy play activities, as they can get stuck in the throat

We love being an active crew and today we captured some of the things that we do in a day to help us keep moving.
From our wiggle dance in a morning, to trying to get in some movement in any way we can, we will keep going with our activity and hopefully can add some more.
Well done Crew Wallace

On the 24th September we are celebrating National Fitness Day! To get us ready and prepared we would like you to create some posters that we can have around school to inform children, staff and parents about the importance of fitness!
Watch the video below to collect some ideas for your poster.
Crew Council will be round this week to show you their examples too!
