A huge well done to all of our winners this week. We had lots of boys celebrating HoWl points this week, some super stewards, fantastic mathematicians on numbots and tt rockstars, as well as our fantastic crew champions this week. It was great to hear about your craftsmanship and quality and the respect you have been showing.
Also, a huge well done to Crew Schon with 100% again…you are smashing it this term…well done!
Yesterday class 8 enjoyed testing different objects to see which were the best at floating and which ones sunk. They predicted what would happen based on the material of the object.
They had lots of fun but it was also great to see them using their knowledge of materials from our Autumn term expedition!
Great work class 8!
Miss Schon’s Group: This week we have been doing our assessments. All children are doing great at remembering their phonics and reading words. Some children are struggling a little with their red words or reading fluency. Keep practising your reading at home as often as possible as we have been doing so well with our memory skills now we need to keep up the practise!
This week our sound is /ue/ Blue Glue
Miss Rodger’s Group: This week the children are learning the final split digraph sound /u-e/ huge cube. Next week the children will take part in their next assessment to see how they are progressing with their learning.
Miss Schon’s group have also been pre-learning all the split digraph sounds. Here is a video that explains how we read these sounds in a word.
Miss Cooper’s group: This week Miss Cooper’s group are learning the trig /ear/ – Near and Dear. This week Miss Cooper’s group will be taking part in their next assessment to check on their learning progress.
Well done to our superstars this week!
The children have made their own parachutes today and tested to see which design worked the best. They had discussions about gravity and air resistance and had lots of fun! You are fantastic scientists, well done!
Today we explored gravity. We watched a video that explained that gravity is a force that pulls things towards the centre of the Earth.
The children then took part in their own experiment where they were predicting which ball would fall to the floor the quickest. There were 3 balls of different sizes and weights and they worked in small groups to test their theories. We then added a feather into the equation and learnt about Galileo’s ball and feather theory.
To finish off the session , the children created their own straw rockets and we tested them to see how far they would fly until gravity pulled them towards the Earth.
Another fabulous scientific day…we certainly have some budding scientists in class 8!
This is a reminder that all children need to return their reading books to school tomorrow as Friday is a training day. Please help us by ensuring all children bring their books each week – even if they have not been read yet.
Unfortunately we are unable to allow children to keep Shared Reading books for an extra week. This is because all books need to be collected in as a set and returned to the reading room for the next group of children to use. If the book is not in school on book changing day this will prompt an email reminder from your child’s class teacher or phonics teacher.
If the book has not been returned by the following book changing day a fine of £3.50 per missing book will be added to your Parent Pay account on this day.
Thank You,
KS1 Team
A huge well done to these 3 superstars who have all been working hard at their after school clubs. We have a yellow and purple belt now at martial arts club! We also have Martha who is working her way through her levels at gymnastics!
I love to hear about these achievements and I am so proud of you all…well done!
All grown ups of children in class 8 are invited to join us in our classroom for our presentation of learning on Thursday 27th March at 9am. We will be preparing a meal for our grown ups to eat with us. We hope you can come and join us!
