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!

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. Â 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. Â We are also talking a lot about taking care of the resources and the toys in our classroom. Â 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.

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!

We have had a fantastic week of learning in Room 27 again.
We have been enjoying reading more of ‘The Wild Robot’, we have been practising our times tables and completing calculations and we have been learning all about the compass points with turns and directions. Ask us about quarter and half turns and how many degrees are in each turn around the compass. You can also challenge us by asking us to go clockwise and anti-clockwise.
We have been doing gymnastics, football and basketball in PE.
For our writing, we created our own stories focusing on the plot and main events. We used a ‘story mountain’ to help with this.
With Miss O’Brien, we have been learning about the digestive system.
“I really enjoyed gymnastics, it was fun. I liked making up my sequence with my partner.” LW
“I liked using the Chromebooks for research about the digestive system.” AB
“I really enjoyed passing at football.” AM
“I really enjoyed doing the gymnastics games. My favourite was ‘Stop, Drop and Roll'” MN
“I liked starting something new in gym. I liked doing the routine in gymnastics.” KE
“My favourite thing was in PE doing the plank challenge at the end. I was good at that.” TJP
“I liked doing the angles with the compass points and directions in maths.” FM
Thank you for reading our blog. Have a wonderful weekend.

Our first subject is about our reading book ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom!’ So about kensuke’s kingdom, the first chapter is called ‘Peggy Sue’ and it starts off as Michael has a job, but his parents lose theirs, and has to go on a boat called Peggy Sue.Â
Onto the next subject!
In drama, we played a game called zap where you can either woosh wow or zap. We all had lots of fun. The winners were Cal and Dylan!
Come back next time for a magical and amazing blog!
