Expedition/English, phonics and maths slides for this week are now available on Google Classroom. There is also a link on there to our brand new expedition site where you can access the beautiful work produced by our children as well as links to useful information and further study. The site is a work in progress and will be updated regularly by year 1 and year 2 staff. In case you missed the invitation to join our Classroom I have sent the link to your child’s email address which is in the following format…

Reading Star

10th January 2022Jayne Rodgers

A huge well done to Olivia today for the focus she showed during our phonics session to find all the ‘ay’ words in our phoneme spotter postcard and for trying very hard to follow a very tricky text which we were echo reading in our English/expedition session

Great job angel!

Collaborative Octo-craft

5th January 2022Jayne Rodgers

Class 6 worked in teams today to make paper chain tentacles for an octopus. They had to ensure that they made their tentacles the same length so they had to decide on the number of links in each chain and keep adding more until they matched

I was so proud of how they persevered with their task, even when they found it tricky.

They certainly followed our class motto – keep on trying, never give up, you’ll get there in the end.

Great job guys. I can’t wait to see them on display!

Sparkling into our new expedition!

4th January 2022Jayne Rodgers

We had a fabulous first day back today as we began our immersion into our new expedition, ‘How will what I do today impact the world tomorrow?’ by thinking about the animals that live in our oceans. The children created these amazing sparkly sea creatures to begin to decorate our classroom and corridors. Great job guys.

Recycled materials

In January, key stage 1 will be making sculptures using recycled materials. If over Christmas you have any ring pulls from cans, beer bottle tops, plastic bottles, plastic bottle tops or any shiny quality street wrappers then please can you save them and bring them in to us when we return to school. It would be much appreciated!

Thank you,

Mrs Shaw and the key stage 1 crew x

Christmas Jumper Day: Save the Children 🎄🎅🏻

16th December 2021Jake Taylor

Last Friday, children were encouraged to wear a Christmas jumper and donate money to fundraise for the ‘Save the Children’ charity. As a school, we managed to raise an incredible £286 which will go towards helping many different families this Christmas. Thank you for the generosity of all who donated money!
