We’re looking at time in Maths this week, we started with the days of the week and months of the year. Class 5 worked collaboratively to put the days and months in the correct order. To help us we have been singing lots of songs all week too. It has been great to hear everyone practising the days of the week to the Addams Family!

Out of this WORLD!
WOW Jenson. Big well done this week for being Out Of This World for class 5. Jenson has been a superstar this week, he’s been making great choices, writing beautiful sentences about the animals we have looked at and has been displaying all of our HOWLs. Great job, Jenson, keep up the hard work!
Researchers for the morning!
Class 5 spent the morning looking at different types of animals, we practised saying the word ‘characteristics’ and ‘amphibian’ and now we are experts! In groups the children helped each other to read the fact files for different animal groups, in order to complete a scavenger hunt sheet to find out which animal groups had certain characteristics. We found out the only Mammals give birth to live babies, which is how we know what a shark must be a fish, because it lays eggs!
In the afternoon we even wrote some beautiful sentences about what we had learnt. Now, class 5 are talking about how birds have feathers, are warm blooded and lay eggs. After practising, we can say the word Amphibian and know that if an animal is an amphibian, it was wet skin, webbed feet and also lay eggs!
On-line Learning
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…
If you do not receive the link or have any other questions relating to this please do not hesitate to get in touch and Miss Good and I will do our best to help you.
See you on Classroom!

Class 5 crafts
Class 5 have had a brilliant start to the new term and have been transforming the classroom into an underwater adventure. Everyone has worked so hard and has taken their time to create beautiful art out of different materials to make something to be proud of! You can see the hard work, determination and concentration from everyone. Well done class 5!
Silent gallery critique
Year 1 tried their hand at watercolour washes today to paint these awesome underwater scenes. We invited year 2 to a silent gallery where they gave us some very useful critique on our work.
We hope you enjoyed looking at our paintings as much as we enjoyed creating them.
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
