This week we received a very special delivery from the North Pole.

Santa had heard about our enterprise project.  He has a little word with the Elves and Mrs Claus.  They sent us reindeer oats and a special secret ingredient, candy canes and magic keys.  We have been very busy making these into Reindeer Dust, Candy Cane Mice and Magic Keys to sell on our stall on Saturday.

We are going to be looking at cost, mark up and profit next so we can decide on what we are going to spend our profit on.

We look forward to seeing you at our stall!

This week we had a taster session from Planet Soccer.

First we played a game like tig,  we had to dribble the ball to red cones.

Then the tig-ers were released.  If they covered our balls we had to hold our ball above our head.

But we could be freed.

After the warm up we played a mini match.

This week we have been thinking about our Class Charter.  In school we want to be happy, safe and learn lots.  We are all going to try our best to be:

kind

friends with everyone, we are very friendly

try our best at our jobs

share

happy, be polite and smile at people

listen to everyone

celebrate our successes

to keep people safe we are going to help each other and tidy up

You can see our Class Charter beside our board

We have really enjoyed making our new friends.

This weeks extra special stars for following the Charter are Poppy and Oliwier!

We can’t believe that we have been at school for a week already.  We have had lots of fun meeting our buddies, playing counting games and we are already beginning to learn to read and write.

We have lots planned for next week; we are going to learn about c and k, counting and more about our senses!

Bonjour!

We are enjoying saying the days of the week in French. Today is Jeudi.

In maths we are screening our addition sums. This is tricky but we are having a go and counting our red and yellow counters to help us find the total.

For outdoor PE we tried some parachute games but it was extremely blowy!

We watched a video called ‘Amazing Things Can Happen’ about Autism for Wear It Blue Day. We talked about how each of us is different and unique, then we each made a puzzle piece to show a bit about ourselves and how we are all different but part of our class team. Here is our work in progress.

We’d like to wish everyone a very happy Easter break. Here are a few snaps of what we’ve been up to this week.

Smoothie making. Cheers!

World Book Day dress up/down.

Eggcited for the egg hunt.

Hello again!

We welcomed parents and family to class to have a look at our VCOP work and try out some Kung-Fu punctuation. Thank you for coming to visit us. Keep looking out for this while reading this week. We’ve noticed quite a few ! and ? in our non-fiction texts we are reading at the moment.

For happiness month we shared a joke today:

When does an astronaut like to eat?    At launch time!         Ha, ha, ha! Can you think of another?

In maths, we have finished looking at symmetry for now and move on to volume. This game on Topmarks was fun!   https://www.topmarks.co.uk/symmetry/symmetry-matching

We’ve been busy in PE and thinking about being healthy and active. We’ve spotted changes in how our bodies feel after being active like faster pulse, being out of puff, needing a drink and red cheeks too. Not to mention enjoying the fun of a game or sport with friends.

Hello there! Or we could say ‘Ola’, ‘Bonjour’ or even ‘Konnichiwa’. We have been trying out these different  greetings in class and enjoy using them.

We have been busy building models in our construction area.

If you’re feeling peckish, you can phone us with a food order for our chef to rustle up something tasty.

We are practising blending and sliding our sounds together to spell words. It helps us to learn by using actions and our whole bodies in phonics lessons.

Lastly, in maths we have begun estimating and measuring using non-standard units – paperclips! Some of our estimates were spot on!
