We have been using the correct mathematical names for 3d shapes and have learnt the properties of them today.
The lesson began with a hunt for 3d objects within the classroom…it was great to see them so focused on finding an object and listening to their discussions about how they knew they were 3 dimensional!
Great job today!

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
A huge thank you to Riley-James for bringing in a book to share In Crew today to start our story telling week.
We all really enjoyed listening to a fun story and it definitely brought huge smiles to our faces!
Today was the start of National Storytelling Week and we celebrated this by having some very special visitors to nursery. Jaiden, Tilly, Ava, Freya and Sophia from the Green Top Learning Council came and read stories to the children. It was so lovely to see the children listening so intently to their mini teachers!
Also a big shout out to Annie, Isabella, Isla and Izaak who brought in their favourite stories from home to share and also Holly and Logan who were today’s postcard winners! What a great start to the week… I wonder what we will read tomorrow?
National Storytelling week has got off to a lovely start with our Year 5/6 Learning Council members sharing some stories with our reception and nursery crews!
Don’t forget to fetch in your favourite stories and to watch out for the Learning Council members in your crew!
For all our KS2 children, the safe has new prizes inside and the code has been set. This time there is a card which invites you to choose a brand new book from my collection, as well as claim the treats in the safe.
I can’t wait to see who will be our next winner!
This afternoon, in Crew Jackson we began our case study 2 on the biology of animals. Today we focused on animal classification. Everyone was full of enthusiasm for sharing their prior knowledge and then after research we shared further knowledge we had gained. The children were very proud of the anchor charts they created.
Well done Crew Jackson on concentrating on developing your reading skills during our session this morning. You were all super focused and this meant you got smarter at reading. Let’s keep this up every reading session!
We would like to remind all parents on how to join Nursery’s Google Classroom online. We love using this forum as a way of sharing the planned teaching sessions taking place each week and provide you with access to the termly homework menus. The online classroom also give parents the opportunity to share the home learning activities they complete with their children and celebrate the wonderful things you do together.
To access the online classroom you will need to log in through the Green Top website. You can do this by going to the school’s main website and clicking on the ‘log in’ icon in the top right corner. You will then need to enter your child’s unique username as detailed below followed by the generic password which is ‘password’.
username: first [email protected]
For example: [email protected]
The children who have just joined as early starters in January will enter the number 37 after their name, for example [email protected]
Once you are logged in, click on the ‘gmail’ icon at the top of the page (it looks like an envelope). You will have an email inviting you to the online classroom and accepting this invite will give you access to the forum. If you need any more support with this please speak to a member of the nursery team who will be able to help you.
We will share the posts on google classroom every Wednesday with the children and award HoWL points for their hard work and creativity at home. We’re looking forward to seeing all the wonderful things you do together!
