Pobble reading lesson

We love a good old pobble reading lesson in class 12. No wrong answers, lots of discussion, imagination, questioning, inference, retrieval, evidence selecting and predictions! So much learning all rolled up into one fun lesson! We love it!

My favourite part though, is how they recall and link their expedition learning (current and past) and just show off all their wonderful knowledge! Well done as always guys! Love it!

Class 12 loving the outdoors!!

I can honestly say I think this has been the best school trip I’ve been on! The kids, Miss Rooke and myself had an amazing day. And yet again, I’ve come away feeling so proud of all them and their achievements no matter how small! These are truly a fantastic bunch of kids!

Here we are orienteering and den building in the woods!

Swimming on Tuesday!

I would just like to share how extremely proud I was of all of class 12 on Tuesday for their first swimming session. They were so supportive of each other and let nothing phase them. Me and miss Rooke sat back and had so many ‘proud mum’ moments with them all!

Thanks guys your super and a credit to our school and your families!

Year 4 Swimming Reminder

Class 12 will be swimming tomorrow – 1:30-2:30 and be back at school for 3 O’Clock.

Children are required to wear a dark and plain swimming costume or trunks.

They will need a towel.

They will change back into their uniform – no other clothes needed.

No nail varnish or any jewellery is allowed in the pool.

Goggles are not required – however can take but all children will be asked and encouraged to try without them so their eyes get used to being open in water to build confidence if faced in this situation.

If consent form not yet back please bring in tomorrow – your child will unfortunately not be able to enter the pool until the consent form is received.

Many thanks 🙂

Maths Week 2020

We are very excited for maths week!

We will be celebrating maths and to do this we will be doing the following:

  • Each day you will be informed of a challenge you can complete at home and bring into school
  • At 3pm on Thursday (in the school hall), parents are invited to join the learning council to play maths games and look at how you can support your children with maths at home
  • Friday is NSPCC Maths day so we will be having a ‘maths’ dress up day (£1 donation) and a bun sale to raise money for the charity
  • Buns will be on sale for 50p (we will also be accepting donations of buns, cake and biscuits)

Please see the link below for dress up ideas and more information about NSPCC maths day:

Monday’s challenge is:  Who can find the oldest coin?  This needs to be a coin that you can currently spend in the UK.  Place in an envelop child’s name, the coin enclosed and date!  Good Luck!

Thanks

Class 12 Family Learning

I for one, I’ve loved today’s family learning in class 12. All of the children seemed very motivated to complete their tasks as collaboratively as possible and it was so lovely to observe this happen. They have truly been leading their own learning this afternoon with the support of adults from home. Big thanks to all who came and for all your efforts! Well done guys 😀
