Class 1 We have had such a lovely week together after our half term holiday. We have enjoyed sharing stories about our time off.

We have been focusing on ‘A Squash and a Squeeze’ in our story times. We have read the story together, acted it out with friends and made story maps including our favourite parts.

“I like when the goat is chewing the table”.

“I think it’s funny when the cow is on the table dancing”.

In our mud kitchen, we have been very busy making birthday cakes, pancakes and hot chocolate. We even started a café and it was very popular.

“I love baking cupcakes for my friends – they’re very yummy”.

Class 2 from the children:

I liked learning about road safety from Pyjama Drama.  We had fun and learned how to cross the road safely.  It was funny when we had to walk as cool as a cucumber.  You should wear always wear a helmet because it can save your life.  I loved dance with Leony.  I like lunchtime and playing with the toys.   I like my dinner.  I can't wait to go to the woods.  We walk to the woods.  It will be a different woods.   I like going to the woods.

Class 3 After what sounds like a fabulous half term, the children have settled back in and produced some excellent work. They have worked really hard in Maths this week, practising their adding and subtracting. They have also been learning about Mummification in History and have been writing detailed instructions about it. They really enjoyed their PE lesson this week with the coach from CDA dancing to Walk like an Egyptian. Class 3 have had a super first week back and have shown great effort and perseverance. Well done class 3!  

Class 4 We have enjoyed creating our own war poems this week, trying hard to use similes and metaphors. We thought about the soldiers in the war, who sacrificed their lives and tried to imagine the battlefield.

We have enjoyed carrying out a science investigation to test the force of a load using levers. I like practical experiments.

In PE we have enjoyed learning new dance moves with Emily from CDA.

I have enjoyed maths, especially learning the chunking method for division problems.

Netball

The children who attended our netball club last half-term took part in a netball tournament at Willian Howard School on Tuesday.  All of the players showed sportsmanship and enjoyed playing matches against other schools.  Well done!
