Hope you had a great weekend.

This week there will be no formal homework but I will put links to some educational games to help you with your learning.

Our dress rehearsals are tomorrow – Monday 12th December.  If you haven’t done so already please bring in your pyjamas/ onesies in a plastic bag for the dress rehearsal.  We will then keep these in class for the show days – Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.  Your child will then return these pyjamas/ onesies home on the day of the show.

Have a great week.

You will by now have found your child’s Santa letter.                                      Could you please post it for us ? We have talked about how Santa doesn’t always bring you what you’ve asked for as the elves might not have made enough.

The children worked hard on writing them (and the envelope).

Fingers crossed boys and girls. 16 sleeps!

Please remember to bring your library book so we can swap it for a new one.

Today we explored how teddy bears are made with our teddy stuffing machine. We finished our roly poly toys and raced them. We chose different types of wheel to make them move in different directions  – racer, zigzag or caterpillar.

We live in a world surrounded by technology. And we know that whatever area of work you decide to go into as adults, your ability to succeed will increasingly depend on understanding how technology works.

That’s why our school is joining in on the largest learning event in history: The Hour of Code, during Computer Science Education Week (December 5-11). More than 100 million students worldwide have already tried an Hour of Code.

Today, P2/1 continued their coding lessons using ScratchJr. We focused on adding sounds and movements to different sprites. ScratchJr is great fun! Well done on completing your Hour of Code!

Here are lots of coding tutorials you can try out at home.

Today, P3H learned some coding using Minecraft Designer. We had to use blocks to build the code to get the characters to move around the Minecraft world. Well done on completing your Hour of Code!

Today, P7M learned to code some retro games using Kano Pixel Hack. It was quite tricky at points and we had to be very careful to type the code correctly or it wouldn’t work. Well done on completing your Hour of Code!

Good evening!

I have stuck each child’s password for the Sumdog website in the back page of their homework diary. Please let me know if the children have any issues when trying to log on.

Thank you very much for all of the recyclable items which you have sent in for us to build junk model robots as part of our topic. We will be continuing to collect items next week, as we will be making our models at the end of the week.

Have a lovely evening.
Miss Hamilton.

Children are welcome to bring in Christmas Cards for their friends in school.  They can be put in our post boxes and will be delivered to the classes every day.  Please ensure the recipient’s full name and class are clearly on the envelope.

Thanks
