Room 8’s Weekly Update
Hello!
We learned lots in Room 8 last week and the children are keen to shared what they enjoyed:
JM- “I enjoyed rounding numbers to the nearest 10.”
AD- “I liked creating persuasive posters to ‘Save Wilbur’.”
MN- “I enjoyed writing book reviews of the stories we have been reading.”
ED- “I liked practicing place value and partitioning 3-digit numbers.”
CR- “I liked learning about adjectives and identifying them in sentences.”
CP- “I enjoyed doing dictation because I could see my hard work pay off.”
The whole class enjoyed our construction task which was linked to our IDL topic, Charlotte’s Web. We worked in teams to create a barn that could hold two animals and give them food and water. We were then able to present our barns to the rest of the class and explain our design choices. It was lots of fun!

Our busy week! 👽🚂
Room 3 have had a super week learning all about the theme of space. On Monday, we enjoyed reading the story ‘Aliens Love Underpants’ and found this story very funny. Following a chat about the book, we designed our own aliens. We were very proud of these.
We have also been working hard on our number work this week. We have been learning about the number 4 and the number 5. We practised these number formations using ‘I Spy’, playdoh, jotter work and games. We discussed how to order numbers 0-5 from smallest to largest and largest to smallest too. Here is our new favourite way of practising our numbers, using whiteboard pens to do desk writing.
As part of our play this week. many of us loved building different vehicles using Lego. Some of us worked as a team to make a moving train which could transport cars. Have a look at our fantastic build!
Pupil Voice
Below are some comments from us about our learning this week:
CJ – I liked practising our names.

Room 5 become Artists
This week Room 5 learnt about Pablo Picasso and had a go at making a self portrait in his style of Cubism.
Our sound this week was ‘oy’ and children experienced using elkonin boxes to split the sounds into boxes when writing their words. They also completed a phoneme flower and tried to use the words to write a sentence, e.g. The boy played with the toy.
We are continuing with our addition, and some of the children were becoming masters in maths as they worked out the missing numbers within the sums, e.g. 6 + __ = 11
We have been speaking about going to the toilet during class time and trying to encourage children to use their snack, break and lunch times for trips to the toilet. We are also talking a lot about taking care of the resources and the toys in our classroom. A few things have been broken, which makes us sad.
We wrote about our favourite hobby with the help of all the lovely photos you sent in, so thank you!
Big Congratulations to Amelia who is taking home our class mascot ‘Nelly’ this week.

Room 9 Skills Framework
It has been another successful and busy week in Room 9. We have been working on the Skills Framework and linking it to everything we do in class. The framework is up on our wall and there are 4 main areas that we look at, Successful Learners, Confident Individuals, Effective Contributors and Responsible Citizens. We have a special action for each one so you can ask us to show you when we are at home. Our favourite one is for Successful Learners because we make our bodies into the shape of a star.
To celebrate our use of the Skills Framework, Mr Allen gives out a certificate for each area every week. Successful Learners are pupils who have been doing well with Literacy, Numeracy, Health and Wellbeing and ICT. Confident Individuals are able to show good communication skills and can adapt to different situations. Effective Contributors are pupils who work well in a group or with their partner. Responsible Citizens are very good at helping around the class and looking after others.
Below you will see a photograph of the pupils who achieved the certificates this week.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve discussed what zones we’d like in our classroom so that we can participate in ‘Morning Clubs’ from 9-9.30am. This is where we are allowed to play and work on our skills using a variety of activities. We have the construction zone, creation station, reading nook, digital desk and gaming arena. Each week, we’ll be taking a look at what curricular areas and what skills have been developed at each station. Take a look through our photos to see what we’ve gotten up to!
