Year 2 family learning

2nd February 2024Aime Shaw

***Save the date***

Wednesday 7th February 2-3pm

We would love it if any parents and carers could come and join us for our art workshop on Wednesday. We will be starting our 2nd case study, which is about life in the sea and this will be a great way to hook the children into their learning. We are hoping that you will support your children with their art work but also have a go yourselves. We will be keeping your artwork to display in our art gallery at our Presentation of learning.

Please come to the office to sign in just before 2pm on Wednesday 7th February.

Thank you

Mrs Shaw, Mrs Dutton and Miss Hilton

KS1 Community Crew Meeting – 1/2/2024

2nd February 2024Claire Dutton

On Thursday, KS1 came together again to celebrate all things learning and HoWLs! Another fantastic week with lots of certificates and shout outs for those children achieving great things in all areas of learning and development. A big thank you to the parents and carers who could join us for the crew champion award and a big well done to Crew Hilton / Dutton on their hat trick … an impressive 3 weeks at the top of the attendance leaderboard – who will it be next week?

KS1 Community Crew Meeting

26th January 2024Claire Dutton

On Thursday, KS1 gathered once again with students, teachers and parents/carers for our weekly Community Crew meeting. We shared our recent learning, celebrated shout outs and praises, and gave special recognition for our Crew Champions … as well as enjoy singing our crew songs! A huge well done to everybody for a fantastic learning week in KS1, and especially to all those who received special mentions and certificates – keep on being fantastic!

Crew Hilton / Dutton were, for the second week running, crowned 1st place in attendance. Can they make it a hat-trick and keep Paddington the Bear for a 3rd consecutive week? Only time (and the class registers!) will tell …

KS1 Story Club

25th January 2024Claire Dutton

Another Thursday and another fantastic story to explore! This week we have read Tadpole’s Promise, which tells of the unlikely romance and unfortunate demise of a tadpole and caterpillar.

The children have enjoyed thinking of their own unlikely animal pairing, making use of their new learning about animals from different countries and their habitats. What fabulous drawings to illustrate your own romantic tales, KS1 – well done!

Year 1 and 2 XP Outdoors request

24th January 2024Aime Shaw

If anyone has any materials that could be used to make a bug hotel, please could you bring them into school by next Tuesday (for Year 1) or Wednesday (for year 2). The children will be creating their own bug hotels, which links to our expedition learning. I have put some photographs below for ideas of materials that we could use.

We would appreciate any cardboard tubes, small pieces of wood, lollipop sticks, leaves, foliage, paper straws or any natural materials such as acorns or pine cones.

Thank you so much in advance

class 8 setting descriptions

18th January 2024Aime Shaw

The children have been using fantastic vocabulary to create setting descriptions for their new reading text ‘The Tin Forest’.

Their independent writing blew me away! They used adjectives to create expanded noun phrases and are beginning to read and edit their own work…Great work guys! Well done!

KS1 Story Club

18th January 2024Claire Dutton

In story club today, we have enjoyed reading the book ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers which tells the tale of an unexpected friendship between a boy and a penguin from the South Pole.

As KS1 are learning about different animals from different places in the world, this was the perfect starting point for us to imagine and draw ourselves with our own animal friend. Children followed the style of Oliver Jeffers and drew themselves with an animal of their choice from one of the places we have studied so far.

Well done boys and girls – a great start to our new after-school club!

Thank you so much to Mrs Leggett, who comes into our class to support us with our learning every week. The children love her and she offers so much support to us all so we wanted to say a special thank you!

Especially after Mrs Leggett made some delicious maple leaf biscuits for us all today too🍁🇨🇦

Thank you so much, from class 8!
