Welcome back, assembly this Friday!

A big welcome back to everyone!

Thank you for all of the fantastic home learning that you have all been doing during the half term.

In Literacy this week we are still looking at traditional tales, this week we are focussing on The Three Billy Goats Gruff.

In Numeracy we are looking at addition and subtraction 

In History we are still looking at old toys.

We have got our assembly on Friday, please come along and see the childrens work.

Clubs this term...

 

Clubs have begun really well this term; the children are attending lots of fun clubs either held in lunchtimes or after school.

 

Dance club is popular as ever, Choir is also very strong this term; Mrs Gallego was stunned by the amazing sound she heard last week!  The beginner Recorder club has also begun now, with some very keen and eager children who are already moving on well with their learning!

 

If your child has recorder lessons or Ukele lessons with Lucy then please ensure your payments per lesson (£1 per week) are handed into the school office asap.

 

If your child would like to join any of the above then please see me or the school office and we’ll put you in touch with the adult running the club, the more the merrier!

Great drumming!

Well done to all of Year 1. You performed so well this afternoon and I loved seeing parents' faces when they joined in with your dance!!!

Your designs for African shorts were nearly as good as mine from Sierra Leone!!

Indian farm animals

Year 1 enjoyed learning about Indian farm animals with Mr Farrington this morning. We all did some lovely writing about our favourite farm animal. I wonder if your child can tell you about what they learnt?

Wildlife Club

Today our lovely wildlife panels were collected by the RSPB. They will soon be put up at the shelter overlooking the lake. I hope to be able to take the wildlife club to see their work alongside displays from other schools.

Can you feel the rhythm?

Today we have been dancing, drumming and singing with Kwame Bakaji-Hume from Ghana. The children got to use some of the instruments to make rhythms and beats. Kwame taught us all a dance which we will be showing on Friday afternoon. 

Hair!

 Today we have been thinking about ...

We have been drawing self portraits on purple mash. I wonder how many of the children could draw their families and their hair on purple mash?

We had a visit from DEED today, the lady spoke to the children about similarities and differences of our appearances and they had to match eyes, mouth and noses.

We have also been making our own hair using lots of different materials. The children really enjoyed this as they had a chance to make their faces with playdough.

And finally....we have been cooking with Mrs Hibberd. Why not come along to our presentation of work on Friday afternoon to try our yummy treats?
