Room 2

Hello,

Here is a little update from Room 2.

AY – I was playing with Ziggy.

LM – We were writing in our jotters. We were writing about the nativity.

DP – We’ve been trying to get Ziggy. He is a kind of robot which helps you cross the road.

SC – We were watching Santa to see what he was doing.

NN – We were always trying to get our second proud cloud but we got our third one instead of a second one.

OMcM – We did our nativity for all our parents. I was a narrator and I liked being a narrator.

MM – We were learning how to write in our jotters. 

IC – We did two nativity shows so we could get three proud clouds. The parents were laughing at Maven’s line.

AH – We were learning some of our nativity songs. 

ASC – We were working so hard on our show.

LH – We are trying to line up the best.

IJ – We were singing songs. 

We would like to thank all of our parents/carers and family members for coming along to see our Nativity shows on Thursday. It was such a great feeling to see you all in the audience and really helped give us a little confidence boost. We hope you enjoyed the shows. Thank you again for your cooperation and support with learning lines at home and organising costumes. It was greatly appreciated, thank you! 🙂

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

A fantastic week in Room 3!

We are still glowing with pride after our lovely Nativity performance. The children worked so hard to learn their lines, songs and actions, and it was wonderful to see their confidence shine on stage.

A huge thank you to all the parents, carers, friends and family members who were able to join us. Your support means so much to the children and they were incredibly excited to perform for you. We hope you enjoyed the show as much as we enjoyed preparing it!

Even with all the excitement of Nativity rehearsals, we’ve been busy in the classroom too!
This week we focused on the sounds ‘g’ and ‘l’. The children enjoyed practising how to say, read and write the sounds and had great fun spotting words that begin with them. In maths, we continued practising addition within 5. The children completed a variety of active activities  to help develop their confidence.

Thank you again for your continued support—especially during such a busy and exciting time of year. We are incredibly proud of all the children and everything they’ve achieved.

I hope you have a lovely weekend!

Room 5

Happy Friday from everyone in Room 5.

This week we learned a new sound ‘ow’ and practiced our common words ‘how, where, now, too’. We have one more sound to cover before Christmas and that is ‘ou’ as in ’round’ and we will cover this next week. In maths we have been consolidating addition and subtraction by learning how to use the number square to help us add and subtract 10.

We have been working really hard on learning our lines and songs for the christmas concert. This will be on Wednesday 10th December at 9:30 and we can wear anything festive.

Here is some pupil voice:

CJ: I had fun doing the jotter tasks and weekend news.

AT: I have enjoyed learning our new sound ‘ow’ for ‘meow’

AD: I enjoyed making a Christmas Card for my mum and dad.

LS: I liked drawing with Leo during play.

BK: I really liked learning take away 10 sums and enjoyed the number square.

 

Thanks so much,

Have a lovely weekend.

Room 11 Nine crafts for Christmas

As part of the countdown to Christmas, Room 11 are completing a different Christmas Craft each day with Mrs Sheed.  Not only are these crafts a great way for the kids to get creative, they also help with their fine motor and listening skills.  So far, we have made miniature wreaths, gingerbread house garlands and an origami 3D star.  The kids have found some of this quite tricky but they look forward to finding out what we are doing each day and enjoying the finished product!

Room 5

This week in Room 5 we learned another new sound, ‘au’ for sauce. The children really enjoyed coming up with their own silly sentences that will help them remember how to spell au words. In writing, we looked at how we can make our sentences better and focused on what a scrambled sentence looks like, how to spot it and how to fix it. For maths, we completed our focus on halving and dividing by 2 and we also started a non number topic of Time. The children loved having the clocks out and practicing all the different o’clock and half past times.

The children have been enjoying practicing their songs for the Christmas Concert, and we got to practice this on the stage on Friday. Some children have asked for a speaking part and they have had their line sent home. Please feel free to keep practicing these songs at home, as the children are fantastic at singing them!

For the next two weeks, we will be focusing on revising all our taught number topics so far to make sure we are completely secure before moving on to new topics.

Dates and Reminders:

Monday 1st December- School Photographs – Children can come to school in uniform, we will do P.E on Tuesday.

Wednesday 10th December – Christmas Concert 9:30am-10am. We look forward to seeing you there 🙂

Monday 15th December- Christmas Party- 11am – Children can come to school dressed up for their party. We will do P.E on Tuesday.

Friday 19th December- School Closes for Christmas- 2:30pm. 

Homework will be given out this week, and next week. No homework will be given on the last week of term.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend,

Room 19

Thank you to Abbey, Alexa, Grace and Paris for writing this week’s post.

IOW

This week we have been doing IOW (which stands for Improving Our Writing) . In our first week we did fragments of a sentence like “The dog walked” . We have been changing that into real sentences. In week two, we did run-ons. Run-ons are sentences that have no punctuation or connectives. We have been doing scrambled sentences which are words in a sentence that are jumbled up. 

Maths 

In maths we have been doing revision of adding 3 and 4 digit numbers with the standard written method , we have also been exploring time and we are getting a lot better. We have just started problem solving using listing.

Spelling

This week our spelling rule has been words that start with AL and WEL. We have been practising our spelling words using strategies like pyramid spelling, hangman and more.

ART 

For art we made European baubles to hang on our Christmas tree and made Christmas tree art.

PE

For PE we have been doing football and we have been doing matches, boys vs boys and girls vs girls to make the teams fair.

Room 11

Hi everyone and welcome to Room 11 class blog.

For maths we have been doing symmetry /angles like an obtuse,acute,right

For P.E we have been doing basketball and some workouts in the classroom as the weather hasn’t been very good to us recently.   By RC

In Maths we decided to used our skills in  symmetry to make some 3D Christmas baubles which turned out really well.

Our Christmas Concert songs are coming along really nicely but we need some help with one of them- Michael buble and Shania Twain’s version of White Christmas.  Please practise at home!
