We were very lucky to have a visit from the Easter Bunny this afternoon. The children were thrilled to see him and to receive a little treat from him too.
Happy Easter Everyone

KS1 Artists
We are so proud of the artwork produced by the children in KS1 during this terms expedition. The children put lots of effort into their work. First the children sketched their animal. Then they painted the background and their chosen animal using watercolour paints. Next they edged their painting with water colour pencils and finally they embellished their picture using collage skills. It was lovely to spend quality time with the children teaching them the different skills required to produce their artwork. The children completed each stage in small groups which gave us a lovely opportunity to spend time together chatting away as we spent hours building up our pictures over the past few weeks! The children have demonstrated a lot of pride in their work and so they should! The results are fabulous.
We are so proud of you all and hope your artwork will remind you of all the fabulous memories made during our expedition this term.
Please take a photograph of yourself with your framed artwork and email them to your class teacher! We can’t wait to see where you put them!
Character Spoon Winners!
Well done to the winners of our World Book Day spoon competition! The learning council found it so tough to choose a winner from each year group because every entry was so amazing! Thank you again if you entered – we can’t wait to display the spoons!
Spectacular Spoons!
I can’t believe the amount of wonderful character spoons we had fetched into school as part of our World Book Day competition! The creativity and effort that has gone into each and every one is amazing!
The Learning Council judged the spoons this morning but it was such a hard choice that we have ended up with 8 winners instead of 4!
Watch this space to see the winning spoons tomorrow …
Here are just some of the fabulous characters!

Year 1: Miss Schon’s Phonics Group
This week we are learning the sound /ure/ ‘sure cure’. The children are continuing to impress me with their confidence and knowledge of all the things we have been learning. We have set ourselves a group challenge of improving our reading fluency. This week we have been having fun practising our ‘word count per minute’. Our target is to read at least 35 words correctly in one minute on an unknown text. The children have loved this and have said they are feeling more confident to recognise words by sight instead of having to sound them out. I have also noticed that children are spotting when they have not read a word correctly and are going back to try the word again. I am so impressed with you all and it is lovely to see you enjoying reading so much.
I have set the children a challenge to try this at home with their school reading books. Ask an adult to set a one minute timer and record how many words you read correctly before the timer runs out. Can you keep beating your score?
