Today we continued learning more about the jobs of Rex the Retriever. With our partner, we highlighted the VIPs (Very Important Parts) that led to Michael falling over board in our novel.  From our highlighting, we then identified 6 VIPs and presented them on a story board.

This morning we continued our hard work in maths.  All the maths groups were able to follow their Task Boards independently and move between the various tasks, including using our new class iPads. 😍

If you’ve not brought in your PE kit, remember to bring it in tomorrow as we’ve got PE just before lunch.

This morning we learned more about one of the Big Reading Friends, Rex Retriever.

First of all we read Chapter 2 of Kensuke’s Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo, picking out WOW words as we came across them. We then had a task called Find the Fib to do.  This involved using our retrieval skills.  Next we shared our sentences and our partner had to find our fib!

To begin with, we found it tricky but then we got to work with other people and found it easier. Finally, we split into two teams and had a competition.

Can you spot Mrs Cannon????

On Tuesday those children who would like to represent our class on the Eco-Committee will have the opportunity to share their ideas and reason why they think they would make a good rep.  Children can either present a talk, PowerPoint presentation or design a leaflet/poster that they could talk about.  Their talk shouldn’t last longer than 1 minute.  I can’t wait to hear all the campaigning.

Happy Weekend, everyone, and see you all bright and eager to learn on Monday.

This morning we had our first PE lesson.  Most people remember their kit.  If you forgot, please bring in your kit again tomorrow as we have PE again.

Today in maths we continued our work on place value.  We could all explain the difference between a number and a digit.  In teams, we played against each other to make the biggest number using the game Spin to Win.  We also completed an individual assessment to find out what we could remember about place value form last year.

Don’t forget: if you haven’t already done so, please bring in your P.E. kit for tomorrow and Thursday.

This morning we started to create our I am Poems.  We are still at the planning stage but hopefully will get them printed and published on Friday.  You’ll be able to read them at the Parent Information evening om Thursday 14th September.

This afternoon we all participated in a dotmocracy to vote for our areas of new learning. We were all given 3 dots so we could vote for the topics we would like to learn about. The Luggie and Extreme Earth were voted as the most popular.

This afternoon we had another getting to know  activity- The Smartie Game.  It was tasty and good fun.  Then we had 6 different activities to complete in our groups.

Welcome to P6. I look forward to working with your child and you over the next year. Everyone looked so bright and cheery in their school uniforms. After had a good discussion about  expectations from me and from the children, we settled down to some Literacy. 

More information will follow but our PE days are Wednesdays and Thursdays.  Children can bring their kit every week or leave it in school. It would be useful if the children could bring in an old shirt, t-shirt or apron for when we are painting.  Please ensure that all items belonging to your child  are labelled clearly.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
