We had great fun today using our ‘agree/disagree’ placards for our geographical research. We read statements about the poles, equator and tilt of the earth and how this affects the climate and then the children had to indicate whether they agreed or disagreed with the statements.
I was so impressed with how the children used their phonic learning to decode some tricky words. Well done everyone.
Our postcards today went to Thea from Crew O’Neill for her fabulous home learning and to Bobby from Crew Rodgers for marvellous effort in both expedition and maths. Well done superstars.
Well done to Adam who won our learning legend postcard today for sharing his amazing knowledge of our world’s oceans and to Savannah, who brought in her medal from dance competitions she took part in over the holidays.
Great job both of you.
We have been learning all about the 5 oceans which cover 70% of our earth today. We can now name the oceans, order them according to size and tell you lots of facts about each one. Why not ask your child to tell you which ocean is the largest or smallest? Or visit our expedition website to listen to a song about the oceans or continents?

The children in class 6 had a fantastic afternoon creating 3D tile sculptures of sea creatures to make a corridor display. They have left them to dry before painting them next week. I cannot wait to see the finished pieces. Well done everyone x
The children have now been grouped for phonics based on their recent assessments and they will be working on sounds matched to their individual needs. These groups will be closely monitored and the children moved up as soon as they master the level they are at currently. If your child is to be part of one of these phonics groups they will have come home this evening with a postcard which indicates their group – pink, red or blue – and I will post their weekly phonic sound focus and spellings on the blog and on Classroom for them to practise for a touchdown activity at the end of each week. If you have any questions please do get in touch.
PINK – Phonics sounds – i as in pin, n as in nap, m as in map, d as in din
Spellings – the, was, pit, tip, nap, tin, mat, dim, sad, Sid
RED – Phonics sounds – sh as in ship, th as in thin and that, ng as in sing
Spellings – the, was, ship, brush, that, thin, rang, bring, thing, with
BLUE – Phonics sounds – ay as in play, ou as in cloud, ie as in tie, ea as in beads
      Spellings – Mrs, tray, day, cloud, mouth, tie, pie, sea, read, oh,Â
With many thanks for your continued support

I was once more blown away by how beautifully the children in class 6 collaborated on their task of locating and naming the seven continents this morning. They were even able to explain their learning to our visitors and Mrs Overson.
So proud of you all x
Lots to celebrate in this morning’s assembly in class 6.
Ezra, Savannah and Reeva won certificates for work hard, be kind and get smart respectively and Deacon was overall HoWL point winner. Nathaniel held on to his reading champion cup for another week and Adam joined the picture too as he missed out on last week’s celebration.
Kalab won our learning legend postcard for a day with many good choices and Deacon shared his swimming certificate with us.
Keep up the good work crew x
We had a lovely discussion today as part of children’s mental health week about where or rather who, we could go to if we were feeling sad, lonely, upset or scared. It was wonderful to hear that the children had a wide ranging support network of adults that they could share their problems with. The children learned a new saying ‘a problem shared is a problem halved’ and we talked about some of the things that make us sad. Well done guys.
Bobby won our learning legend postcard today for his fabulous listening which led to awesome learning.
Keep on getting smart Bobby, it really does make a difference.
I was so proud of the behaviour and engagement of class 6 yesterday on their first ever official off site trip. We had a marvellous time exploring the wonderful sea creatures at The Deep in Hull and showed just how much we have learned during our workshop. Please see below for a pictorial record of our day.
