Term topic

 

This week we have been taking time to talk about nature and how it lives here and how it survives.

The younger ones have been exploring the school gardens and looking for mini beasts and recording there findings. They were lucky enough to find spiders,worms, woodlouse and a frog.

Where as the older ones have had the pleasure of having Mrs. Lawson helping and teaching them about the plant life and the surrounding area. Mrs. Laswon was able to share with the children the changes she has saw in the last 40 years of living in this area.

End of week reflections

This term the children are being encouraged to reflect on their learning and idenify the skills that fit in to the 4 capacities, effective contributor, responsilble citizen, confident individuals or successful learner. This happens on a daily basis and helps them to write there weekly reflection.

below is some examples of pupils reflections.

Kole

I was doing a listening task in math. I was learning about different diagrams. It was hard but I didn’t give up I was being a confident individual by continuing the task and finishing it. After lunch Mrs. Lawson came and showed us different plants and trees. I learned about the school grounds and the surroundings. I was being a curious scientist finding out about lots of things.

Anna

I was learning Venn and Carroll diagrams this week. I found the Carroll diagram much easier as it was more in order and easier to read.I was being a successful learner by setting myself a challenge by knowing how to use the different diagrams.

James

I was playing bug cards with Jade. Its nice to work together as its nice to help other people. So I was being a successful learner by sharing what I knew to help Jade.

Fraser

I was learning about the Venn and Carroll diagram, I found the Carroll diagram gave a more accurate result. I was being an effective contributor and getting involved  the listening activity. I found the task interesting as it taught me new things. I found the afternoon with Mrs. Lawson very interesting and I learned a lot of the area I live in. I was a confident individual and being organized as I wrote all my notes in my Charles Darwin book. I am really looking forward to doing more of these activities.

German

Well its a new term and the children are looking forward to learning some more German. This afternoon a new student will be coming in with Mrs. Smith  to share her learning with the children. The children are hoping to show her around the school and share their local area with her. We shall have plenty photos to follow this.
