Today Reception and Key Stage One to start off our Christmas celebrations we were fortunate to have a theatre company come in to school to perform the pantomime Aladdin. We all had an amazing time, laughed out loud, had a cheeky little snack and to top it off we got to see Mrs Sikka and Miss Clark dance with the cast.
Today we talked about the Christmas story. We asked who knew the characters, who they were and which character was the most important in the story of Christmas . We discussed which parts the children in Reception are playing in our performance and how Christians often recreate the story in their church at Christmas. Some of the children then recreated the story and built a stable and others decided to paint the nativity scene.
In One Red and One BLue this week we have been learning all about the Aurora in Learning Means the World. The children created beautiful pictures in their Art lesson to create the ‘Northern Lights’. They used different coloured pastels to rub and create beautiful representation of the night sky colourful explosions.
As part of our ‘Come Fly With Me: Africa!’ theme we have enjoyed learning how to play the djembe drums.
This week in LMTW we have been looking at links with other countries. The children were asked if they had any family or friends who lived in different countries, then they talked to each other about them. We shared various greetings from other countries such as ‘ola’, ‘bonjour’, ‘guten tag’ and ‘namaste’. The children had great fun working in partners greeting each other in different languages. We also looked at the world map to see where some of our family and friends lived.
This week in Year One we have been focusing on 2d and 3d shapes in Math’s and discussing their various properties. We have sorted, classified, arranged and looked for different shapes in the environment. A large focus of the week was using associated vocabulary related to the different shapes. We have enjoyed searching for shapes in our learning provison.
The UK Government is replacing physical immigration documents with eVisas, a digital proof of immigration status.
Parents and guardians of children who are not British or Irish citizens, and whose children have either a biometric residence permit (BRP) card expiring on 31 December 2024, or a passport with an indefinite leave to remain ink stamp or vignette sticker, should take action to access their eVisa now, and do so on behalf of their children too.
An eVisa cannot be lost or stolen and can be accessed online by visa holders at any time to prove their rights in the UK. It’s free and does not effect your immigration status.
