It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
What a wonderful treat we have had this morning! M and M productions visited school and performed their wonderful Pantomime of A Christmas Carol. The children sang along, clapped and danced (so did a few of the teachers!). There were a few scary moments, but Scrooge turned out to be a good man in the end and helped Tiny Tim and Bob Cratchit have a wonderful life and a happy Christmas time. no more Bah Humbugs from him!
We are also in full rehearsals for our Christmas production. The children have amazed us all with how quickly they have learnt their lines and the songs. Well done, you are making us very proud of you!
Keep practicing your lines and the songs over the weekend. Remember slowly and clearly is the best way!
Have a great weekend.

December is here! The advent calendars have been opened, some naughty elves have arrived in my house and more importantly... the Christmas play rehearsals have begun! The children now know their parts and are hopefully busy learning their lines and actions at home. I will send a note home on Monday with each child outlining the types of clothing they will need to wear. No-one is required to buy any new items as we are trying to keep costumes as simple as possible. Only a handful of children require specific costumes and we will try to source/make those in school. We look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday 15th December.
We have also managed to squeeze in some work too this week! Lots of fun was had by all in our Science lesson. We have been investigating different types of magnets and finding out all about when they attract and repel.
We have ploughed our way through our termly assessments this week and showed off about all of the things that we have learned so far.
In PE, we experimented by using our bodies in different ways to make turns and created sequences with partners.
We also used this wonderful photograph to create some stories about who might live in the ice palace and what might have happened. You all did a fantastic job, writing about Russian rulers, kings and queens or Santa.
Well done this week everyone.

Wow again Class 3. You are working so hard.
This week we have been learning all about division and how it links with multiplication. This can be a little tricky, but you all tried really hard with it.
Sadly we finished our Iron Man book. You have all enjoyed reading it and fining out about the space-bat-angel-dragon and how The Iron Man saved the world. We have even created a display of your lovely work.
We also had the opportunity of visiting the book fair yesterday. The children had a good look around and brought home a sheet with a wish list on it. Please do not feel pressured to buy from the book fair, but if you do please bring the sheet back into school, having paid online and Mrs Cooper can organise your books to go home. If they sheets could be back in on Monday, Tuesday at the latest please.
The children are really enjoying finding lots of great vocabulary for our vocab wall. If you have a look at the homework this week, we might be able to add to it!
Have a fantastic weekend, keeps safe and see you all next week.

Well we have had another wonderful week Class 3. You have all been enjoying our work on The Iron Man and have been producing some wonderful writing based around our book. We have also been learning all about direct speech and using inverted commas in our writing. You have been great at this. Well done.
We have also been working on our times tables. You are working so hard at this and have really impressed us all.
Your skill on the handball court have also been progressing wonderfully. We can see how you are able to defend the goals and stop the other team scoring. We have also noted how you are able to move around the court trying to get the ball. Great skills.
Keep working hard, have a great weekend and we will see you all next week.

We took our RE lesson outdoors on Monday. We spent time thinking about what the word 'spiritual' meant and then used natural materials to portray our thoughts.
We are so lucky to have such wonderful outdoor space and our class love spending time exploring.
In Maths, we have been working on fractions. We now know that fractions are equal parts of a whole. Using strips of coloured paper, we made fraction walls and have worked out fractions of a whole using Lego.
In English, we are continuing to read The Iron Man. We have written letters from Hogarth, the little boy in the story, explaining what he has witnessed.
Our PE lesson was all about balance. We challenged ourselves to balance on 2, 3 and 4 points and worked in pairs to create a sequence.
The children have amazed us with their hard work this week in school and also at home! The homework you and your children have produced has been amazing. Some of the children have created new members of the class!
You have also been wonderfully creative in art, looking at Abstract art and having a go at creating you own images in a similar style to Miro and Kandinsky. Beautiful work.
Keep up the hard work next week everyone!
