We had a brilliant science lesson today learning all about reproduction in plants and the different parts of a plant!
We built up our background knowledge, through watching videos, reading, playing games and finally dissecting a lily! Lilies are great to be able to see the different male and female parts of a plant really clearly!
In G Block year 3 have been looking at the artist Sonia King and taking inspiration and putting it into their own piece of work.
Today class 8 have supported mental health by wearing something yellow.
Thank you to our school counsellors Addison, Aurora and Mia for coming to read with some nursery children this afternoon. It was a lovely treat!
Below is some examples of the children’s work linked to The Great Fire Of London.
can’t wait to see the finished pieces.
On Tuesday 14th October, Reception will be holding a Christmas Photo Shoot Day. The photos taken will be professionally printed and made available for purchase at our upcoming Christmas event – a perfect keepsake or gift for family and friends!
Please send your child to school on this day dressed in the outfit you would like them to wear for their photo. This can be a festive outfit, smart clothes, or anything special you’d like them to be photographed in.
We’re looking forward to capturing some lovely, festive memories!
We had a fantastic day on Thursday! We were so lucky to take part in some special activities throughout the day. First we rocked out with Mr Pickles and even became the drummers in his band! Then we enjoyed our American themed lunch. Cooper and Louie even won a prize for finding a special sticker under their tray! At lunchtime we had cheerleading and baseball on the playground and then in the afternoon we had a go at cheerleading with Mrs Raynor! It was so much fun!
This week in phonics Miss Schön and Miss Rodgers group have been learning /ou/ ‘Shout it out!’.
We have been reading the book ‘An Outing in the Woods’. We have discussed the the vocabulary and the meaning of different words and phrases.
We now know 2 differerent /ow/ sounds
/ow/ as in cow, brown and town
/ou/ as in out, shout and loud
We have also learned that words can end in el or le and the ‘e’ is silent
We have also learned that when there is a ‘st‘ next to each other the ‘t’ is silent
This was a lot of leaning but the children have been doing so well with this! Keep it up boys and girls and don’t forget to practice as often as possible so that you can beat your ‘word count per minute’ scores!
We have been listening to Hindu stories in RE and the children have been doing freeze frames to retell the story. Then they made masks of the main characters and acted out the key points of the story.
On Wednesday 1st October Nursery will be opening the doors from 8.30 – 9.30am for our family book and a biscuit event. All family members are welcome to come and share a story with their nursery child.
We will also be hosting a used toy and book sale to raise money for nursery resources.
We hope as many of you can make it as possible to support the nursery children continue developing a love of reading.
