On Friday, I had the pleasure of taking a group of children from Year 3 and 4 to Trinity to take part in an afternoon of Basketball. I was SO impressed with how well everyone worked together and with the children from the other school. The children listened to the coach really respectfully and gained some fantastic skills! Well done everyone!

WE ARE MUSICIANS!
I have been blown away by how confident everyone in our Crew has been during our Music Case Study and this week has been no different. The children used Standard Notation to create a Music Telephone. They then practiced in groups and very bravely presented them to each other. It was great to see lots of group introducing rounds to their music telephones too. Well done everyone!!
Beautiful Writing in Class 4
Class 4 you really blew me away today with your beautiful writing. You all tried so hard to remember our finger spaces, capital letters and full stops. Keep it up.

And the next clue to crack the code is…
The chocolate bunny is still waiting to escape!!!
Remember the clue first clue that one digit is even and two digits are odd.
The new clue is that the number is greater than 100 and less than 500.
Will you crack the code?

Clock making fun in year 2
We have been practicing telling the time using o clock and half past. Some of us have even moved onto quarter past and quarter 2. Please practice these at home with your child too- they should all be bringing a clock home that they made. Thank you

This Week in Phonics…
Nursery crew are getting better at identifying words that rhyme and making up our own rhyming strings such as log, dog, frog, tog, wog and tip, lip, ship, dip, yip (this can include nonsense words too!). We have also been sharing lots of different books that rhyme such as Duck on a Truck to help us hear the rhyming couplets.
We also have a catchy song to sing when we find a pair of words that rhyme…. Why don’t you have a practice at home? We love singing this in our phonics sessions…
Cat and bat
Cat and bat
They both sound the same
Cat and bat
Cat and bat
They both sound the same, they rhyme!
(To the tune of jingle bells)
We’d love to hear about any rhyming you do at home through Google Classroom. Maybe you could upload a video of you singing the rhyming song or of your own rhyming string?🎶
