A huge thank you to Freya from our Learning Council for coming into class 6 this afternoon to read the children a story before they went home. Your reading was wonderful Freya and the children enjoyed it very much.
Thank you!
Look at the proud face on Thea as she won our learning legend postcard today for demonstrating just how much she has learned about animal groups, food chains and habitats. She was able to share her new-found knowledge with our crew and spoke knowledgeably about the effect humans have on the environment and how this impacts on the lives of the animals she has studied. So proud of you angel! X
This weeks phonics focus sounds will be…
Au as in haunt, a-e as in cake, e-e as in eve, i-e as in like
Our weekly spellings are…
Your, today, jaunt, haul, mate, late, even, these, line, file.
Any help you could give your child with recognising the sounds and practising the spellings would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for your continued support and to all those who practised last week’s spellings. It really does make a massive difference for the children to see that the work they do in school is considered just as important at home.

A huge well done to our postcard winners this week – Eva, Ellis, Thea, Kalab and Haran. We have been investigating measuring length and height in maths, continuing our habitat and food chain studies in science and editing and re-drafting a non-chronological report on polar bears in English. I have been very impressed by the children’s spelling and phonics scores also this week. Many thanks to all those who practised with the children.
Enjoy your long weekend everyone x
Today we have written the first draft of our non-chronological report on polar bears. Eva and Ellis won the postcards for their amazing effort in this work. Ellis tried very hard to remember his phonics learning for spellings and Eva used lots of green standard conjunctions. I can’t wait to see your final drafts. Great job.
Some fantastic sharing of knowledge today in class 6 when the children made information posters about polar bears as part of their science case study. This knowledge will be used to great effect in our English work when we write a non-chronological report to consolidate our learning. Take a look at the posters below drawn by Rhys, Deacon and Harrison.
Amazing job guys.
This weeks phonics focus sounds will be…
wh as in when, ph as in phone, ew as in stew and oe as in toe
Our weekly spellings are…
here, there, when, which, alpha, graph, stew, crew, toe, goes

A massive well done to Lexi and Anais who won our Out of this World and Learning Legend certificates today.
Lexi has tried so hard to follow our HoWLs and listen very carefully to instructions and her learning has progressed massively because of this.
Anais has been a lovely friend and is always kind and helpful and really deserved her postcard today.
Well done ladies.
We have had an amazing week in KS1. Lots to celebrate…
Lots of people have been working so hard in their learning, have shown that they are kind crew members and have been making good choices. We have had some awesome readers, getting or reader of the week as well as lots of reading certificates that have been achieved too!
Crew Rodgers and Crew Good won joint attendance this week, with 100% so get to keep Paddington and Jemima for the week! I wonder who will get Paddington or Jemima next week?
We are all so proud of the children! Thank you to everyone for continuing to work hard, get smart and be kind! Keep up the hard word, and maybe it could be YOU next week?
Class 6 have been studying food chains as part of the science case study in our ‘What will I do today impact the world tomorrow’ expedition. We ordered a 4 part food chain and could identify which of the chain’s links were producers or consumers. We completed an anchor chart to consolidate our learning and the children wondered where the producers got their food. We discussed photosynthesis and danced and clapped the syllables to help us remember the very advanced scientific word. Why not ask your child to show you the dance and explain what photosynthesis means, or explain a food chain? I know they would love to share their learning with you.
