22nd January 2025K Richardson

Yesterday Reception showed the adults how our Sounds Write skills are developing.  We showed them a couple of our phonics lessons, wrote a sentence and read some of our every day words.  Then we showed them how we read our books and talk about the story. After that we showed them Drawing Club and how it helps us with our oracy, drawing skills, imagination, maths and writing, also how we learn amazing new vocabulary.  It was a fabulous morning and the adults were blown away at how much Reception have progressed!

Another great week in Reception!

17th January 2025K Richardson

A very busy week in Reception. We have continued our theme ‘Ticket to Ride’. The children have been on imaginary train journeys telling us where they would go and what they might do when they get there. Played ‘stop and go’ where they have to safely drive and manoeuvre between their friends and stop/go when the sign is flashed. Built so many different types of transportation, one of our Drawing Club words, we will show you next week in our workshop! Drawn and painted various types of transport and used our Sounds Write skills to build words and write captions. ✈️❤️⭐️

 

 

 

Is it permeable?

This week in year 4 we have been investigating the permeability of different rocks. The children discovered rocks such as slate and granite were less permeable than rocks such as limestone and sandstone.

The Power Of Map Reading!

15th January 2025Ashley Clark

Today in 1 Blue, we have been learning to read maps using symbols. We learned that symbols can represent a certain feature of a place. For example, one symbol we looked at was for a campsite, the symbol that represented this was a tent and a caravan. We then went on to look at a map of Jangaland and discuss what the symbols meant before looking at the key to check if we were right!

 

A visit from Reverend Ian!

15th January 2025K Richardson

We had an assembly with Reverend Ian from St John’s church. Today he talked to the children about break time. He recalled a story from the New Testament regarding the day of Sabbath. He talked about how the day of Sabbath is a day of rest, time to recharge and how beneficial it is. He then discussed whether we should also do jobs, relating it to Jesus helping people on the Sabbath day. We talked about Jesus healing people and helping others. How we could also help people during our breaks? The children came up with some fabulous ideas of how we can help each other during our breaks. Suggestions such as helping people who are lonely by playing with them, if someone is hurt then make sure they are ok or get them some help, let people join in with games or agree to play a few different games so everyone gets to choose their own ideas. We then had a school prayer and sang a song.

A great first week back in Reception!

10th January 2025K Richardson

A fabulous first week back in Reception! Our new theme is ‘Ticket to Ride’ and we have been learning about different reasons why we would use a ticket. We’ve looked at lots of the different tickets children have brought in, designed our own and even had a hunt for golden tickets! We’ve drawn and built transport, used our maths skills and so much more! ⭐️❤️
