Class 1 I liked playing in the frost, it was so crunchy. Holme Head House, upstairs we did drawing. I liked Holme Head House because upstairs we could do clay and modelling. I liked climbing the trees. I liked making the reindeer food. I liked going on the trip, I liked playing on the tree. I liked climbing on the trees and painting upstairs and playing with the dinosaurs. Playing with the Lego, I made a Lego man. I liked playing with the big dinosaurs and my friends.

Class 2 The pantomime was the highlight in class two this week with the children sharing the following favourite parts:

I loved the part when Pinocchio sang loads of songs. I liked it when the blue fairy came out. When we saw his underpants. It was funny when he had no clothes on! I liked it when he was singing different songs, my favourite song was I'm still standing.

When his head was popped out of the big red balloon. When Dani sang the songs. The big balloon bit. I liked the cream cake bit best, they made a big mess! When the balloon popped! The end bit when Pinocchio rode on his unicycle.

Class 3 We have enjoyed writing out our RSPCA letter about the Twits.

Year 3 have done exchange in subtraction and Year 4 have done x, 6 & 9 times tables in maths. In PE we did a dance to One Direction and dressed up for it. We really liked the Panto about Pinocchio. We loved this week, the play is progressing and we were excited about it.

Class 4 I have enjoyed learning about how the heart works in Science and carrying out an exercise experiment. We measured our resting pulse then checked it after 2 minutes. We found that our heart rate had increased and it took 5 minutes to get back to normal resting heart rate.

I have enjoyed learning fractions in maths because I like maths and understand it.

I have enjoyed singing our songs for our production. We have enjoyed practising new dances this week, dancing is my favourite.

I have enjoyed creating an advert for a good friend in PSHE, thinking about the qualities I look for in a good friend.

I have enjoyed reading lots and reaching my reading target.

Class 1 have had a very productive week. We are well underway with our rehearsals for the Nativity and are enjoying spending time with Class Two. Nursery have been reading 'Hippo has a Hat' and have created some great hat designs. Reception's new book is 'The Happy Hedgehog Band' - a very noisy story! Reception have been working very hard to learn their tricky words, we are very impressed - they really are tricky!

Nursery are becoming subitising superstars and have been representing totals in different ways (circles, lines, cats!), while Reception have been learning all about shapes and beginning to use numerals in their recording.

Class 1 Our stories of the week have been 'The Leaf Thief' and 'Wow! said the Owl". The children have loved retelling the stories, and made some fantastic posters with brilliant writing and pictures. In maths we have been looking at composition - the whole and the parts that make up the whole. We enjoyed planning, making then eating fruit kebabs, identifying the whole and the different parts. We have also been making our own 2D shapes and exploring printing to make circle pictures. In our SCARF sessions we have been talking about what makes us the same, what makes us different, and why it's a good thing that we are all different. This has linked nicely to our work in science where we have been sharing baby photos and talking about how we are different now to when we were babies.

Class 1 This week we have been working hard with our phonics – we are doing really well and remembering lots of new phonemes and graphemes. At Forest School on Wednesday, we enjoyed making houses for some special visitors. We also made s’mores and gathered leaves, acorns and conkers. We had a walk around the village, noticing familiar places and spotting our friend’s houses. In SCARF we have been talking about feelings – what things make us happy, what can make us feel frustrated or sad, and what can do to make ourselves feel happy again. In our gymnastics session we focused on different kinds of jumping – Kym was very impressed! Well done, Class One, another fantastic week.
