Christmas time!

16th December 2022
I can't believe it but the end of the Autumn term is here! We have had such a fabulous time and the children have all worked incredibly hard, we are extremely proud of them and how they have all matured. We would just like to thank all of you at home for the continuing support that you have given us and the children, we really do appreciate it!
We have a brilliant start to our week with our Christmas party! We played lots of games with Year Two and enjoyed spending time together!
We have been busy making lots of different Christmas crafts. These included calendars for the new year and Christmas crackers!
On Thursday, we spent the afternoon with our Year Four buddies. We made lots of different Christmas crafts, including Christmas hand puppets, photos frames and mim elfs of ourselves. Thank you to Mrs Matthews and Miss Hewitt for having us visit and for the Year Four children coming and spending the time with us, we really appreciate it!
Have a lovely Christmas break and we will see you in the New Year! Thank you all again!

Performance Week!

What an amazing week we have had!
We performed in our Christmas production on Tuesday and what a spectacular job we did! We are all so proud of the children as they projected their voices, sang beautifully and the show went without a hitch!
Thank you all the grown ups that came to watch us perform, I hope you enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed performing it!
We finished our DT project this week, we made Christmas cards with moving mechanisms. We chose between the following mechanisms: sliders, levers and pivots, wheels and pivots. We decorated the front of our cards in a Christmas theme, thinking of what our recipient would like on the front of a card, before adding our mechanism. I think you will agree, that they look beautiful!
Also, we had a special treat yesterday as the Hey Diddles called in to give EYFS and KS1 a show! They were great fun and had all the kids and grown-ups joining in with loads of songs! Great fun all round!
Have a lovely weekend and only 5 days left of school until our Christmas holiday!
Stepping into winter

In maths, we have been consolidating our 3D shapes knowledge by making them using marshmallows and cocktail sticks. We realised which 2D shapes are used to create 3D shapes. How much fun we had making these safely!
During English on a Wednesday, we have been larnnig about poetry, looking at the specific poem I Do Not Mind You, Winter Wind by Jack Prelutsky. We have been leanring to read this orally and even put some actions to it! The children were completely amazing, here is the copy of it. Why not ask the children to perform it at home at home for you with actions!
During on Key-stage assemly this week, we learnt all about St Andrew and why he is the patron saint of Scotland. We also discussed who the patron saints of England, Wales and Ireland were!
We are very excited for the winter fair tonight, we hope to see you all there!

Wheely good week!

During DT this week, we have been continuing with our moving picture project, building on our knowledge of pivots and levers last week and moving onto pivots and wheels. We created a person who showed different emotions on their face by moving a wheel attached using a pivot.
During PE, we used our knowledge of pivots to help us start to learn some basic skills of netball. We learnt how we can move when we don't have the ball and we can only pivot on one foot when we have got hold of the ball. We then moved on to dribble the ball around a course.
In English, we have begun to use a new book as the focus for our english lessons, The Deep Dark Wood by Algy Craig Hall and Ali Pye. We predicted what we thought might happen in the book based on the front cover and then described the setting of the book. How spooky it all was!
Hope everyone manages to get some rest and starts to feel better for next week!
