Room 18

Week beginning 27.10.25

This week in Room 18 we have been:

• Learning how to round 3, 4 and 5 digit numbers to the nearest 10, 100 and 1000!

• We have come to the end of our Place Value topic in maths and had great fun playing some consolidation games (see pictures).

• We started a Rugby block in PE on Friday and Mrs Hutton has been able to get us a space in the pitches rather than the muga which everyone is so excited about.

• We are nearly at the end of the Wild Robot novel – we can’t wait to see how it ends next week and are looking forward to comparing the book to the movie.

We watch newsround every day and today we did the quiz of the week and got 3 out of 5 questions correct (we are kinda bad). We did spelling and dictation, some of our words this week start with multi and some end with ness and the other group’s words end with ock.The weather has been bad so we have been getting indoor break times and lunch times thanks for reading this.

Room 17’s Epic Blog

We had so much fun this week and would love to tell you about it.

Firstly, Room 17 had a ‘Kensuke’s Kingdom Day’. On that day we finished our book called Kensuke’s Kingdom so we did a book  review. Here is an example: Peyton said ‘In this book a boy called Michael tried to save Stella, his dog but he fell in the water. Peyton gave this book four and a half stars.

We also did handwriting. We were learning capitals. We had already learned A-T so we were focusing on U-Z. We even wrote a sentence in all capitals  ‘I DISAPPEARED THE NIGHT BEFORE MY TWELFTH BIRTHDAY’. It was so fun .

We had so much fun telling you about our week so please come back next time for more .

Room 6 Outdoor Learning

In Room 6 we have had a fantastic week back after the October Week. We have all worked hard to get back into our class and school routines.

For our topic this term we are going to be learning about Sustainability. For our first activity Mr Allen took the class outside for the afternoon so that we could learn about the nature around our school. We went on a Nature Scavenger Hunt which meant we had to note down all the different forms of nature. The class were able to find different flowers, leaves, birds and insects.

Room 3

Room 3 have had a lovely first week back after the October week! Everyone has settled back into our routines beautifully and it’s been wonderful to see how excited the children are to get back to learning together. This week, we introduced two new sounds. The children have been learning to say, write and recognise these sounds in different words. We’ve had lots of fun playing sound games and exploring words that include ‘p’ and ‘n’. It’s been fantastic to see the children becoming more confident in hearing and identifying these sounds in the world around them.

In numeracy, we’ve started learning about addition. The class have been discovering what it means to “add” and we’ve explored different materials to help us understand this, such as cubes. The class have enjoyed working together and sharing their strategies.

Overall, it’s been a busy and exciting week of learning in Room 3 and we’re looking forward to another great week ahead!

Just a note to say if all homework jotters and folders are in school bags on a Tuesday and Wednesday, therefore new homework can be placed into the folder. Additionally, a Christmas art activity has been put in your child’s bag, this is an optional activity. The Parent Council is arranging for the children to draw a Christmas picture which will then be able to be ordered on Christmas cards and many other items. It must be completed and brought back to school by the 5th of November. 

I hope you have a lovely weekend 🙂
