🎄🎄Decorating the classroom Christmas trees🎄🎄

2nd December 2021

Today the children were as busy as Santa’s little elves because they worked very hard taking great care to decorate our classroom Christmas trees 🎄. They had lots of fun deciding where to put the baubles and tinsel.  The trees look amazing!  Well done everyone 👍⭐️. 

🎄🎅Christmas Advent Calendars🎅🎄

1st December 2021

The first of December!  What a special day it was in the classroom. The children couldn’t wait to tell us all about the morning’s excitement at home with Advent calendars being opened and some cheeky little elves arriving and getting up to mischief.

Miss Hutton bought a chocolate Advent calendar for the girls and boys to take turns to open. All the children’s names have gone into a pot and every day a name is taken out and then they get to open the door. 
 

Also we are opening doors from the British Sign Language (BSL) PowerPoint Advent calendar to learn some Sign Language. This is a way of sharing the common BSL Christmas Signs by revealing a new Sign illustration via the Advent doors every day.

🎅🎅📮📮 Posting Letters To Santa 📮📮🎅🎅

29th November 2021

Today was the perfect snowy day to post the letters which the children have written to Santa letting him know what they would like him to bring them.  The children were very excited and behaved beautifully whilst walking to the postbox. 🎅📮

Phonics (Friday 26th November 2021)

Please find enclosed in your child's home school book a phonics pack that will help you support your child’s phonics learning at home. The pack includes sound cards and an information booklet for you to use as a prompt when practising reading and writing at home. The phonic cards can also be purchased off Amazon if you would like a sturdier set.

During this month you would normally be invited to attend a phonics presentation session where you would receive further information about how we teach phonics in school. Unfortunately this is not able to happen this year so the power point is now available for you to view via Tapestry and the school website.

Please do not hesitate to contact your class teacher if you require any further information.

Children In Need

Everyone had lots of fun raising money for Children In Need and looked fantastic in their non uniform clothes. (Friday 19th November 2021).

Our very special visitor, Pudsey Bear, greeted the boys and girls into school in the morning and had lots of cuddles with them throughout the day. 
 

We had a Danceathon 💃 🕺, completed various Children In Need dot to dot, pencil control and colouring worksheets, used fine motor skills to put spots on Pudsey with tweezers and pom pom balls, and practised measuring skills in yellow water. Pudsey even joined in our Celebration Assembly.

🌺🌺🌺🌺 Remembrance Day 11.11.21 🌺🌺🌺🌺

🌺For Remembrance we talked about the meaning behind the day. We made poppies on lolly sticks 🌺 and painted poppy pictures 🌺. The children also drew and wrote about the people who are special to them and did a poppy maths lesson on a computer programme 🌺. 
 

The children watched part of the live Remembrance Service 🌺 and completed the two minutes silence at 11 a.m. - not an easy task to keep quiet for that long when you are only four or five years of age!  
 

Later in the day some of us were very lucky to be treated to a live trumpet solo performance 🎺 from Ted who had been inspired to make a trumpet in our Junk Modelling Area after watching the band in the Remembrance Service 🌺🎺.

🔍🔍🔍🔍 A mystery to solve 🔍🔍🔍🔍

We had a mystery to solve this afternoon 🔍 (10.11.21). When the boys and girls came back to the classroom from lunchtime there were large muddy footprints all over the floor. We conducted an investigation and followed the footprint trail and found that it led to a cave. We searched the classroom for clues and discovered lots of interesting objects which might help us like leaves, twigs, money and food. 
 

Who could have made these footprints?  Who built a cave in the classroom?  
 

We sat down to discuss the situation and then all the children drew a picture of who they predicted it could have been.  There were some very interesting suggestions including  a bear, a dinosaur, a cat, a bird, a monster, a crocodile, a rabbit, a mouse and many more. 

The investigation continues …………..

👢👢Welly Walk 👢👢

It was very exciting today (9.11.21).  We all went on a Welly Walk to visit a secret forest to look for the signs of Autumn and the different types of terrain.  The children noticed the leaves falling from the trees and two cheeky squirrels running around. They all sat quietly and heard the wind blowing through the forest and some birds singing. We walked through long wavy grass and squelched through some thick oozy mud around a river/pond. The children predicted that frogs 🐸, fish 🐟 and even a crocodile 🐊 lived in the water! We had lots of fun and managed not to get too muddy.

🪔 Diwali Celebrations 🪔

The children have really enjoyed learning about Diwali traditions and celebrations this week.

👏 👏🕺 💃 Dough Disco 💃🕺👏👏

This morning (4.10.21) the children had lots of fun joining in a Dough Disco session.

Dough Disco is an exercise for the fingers to improve fine motor control and gross motor skills. 
 

Children need to have strong muscles in their hands to enable them to write effectively. These simple, fun exercises help children prepare for writing.

🗣 💬 Pupil Voice Representative 💬 🗣

This week we have been reading our new text Freddie and the Fairy by Julia Donaldson.
In the story a fairy gets stuck in atree and Freddie saves her. The fairy grants  Freddie a wish, unfortunately the fairy keeps getting the wish wrong because she can’t hear very well.  
We have been learning about rhyming words and locating the words that rhyme in the story.

The children have loved making sparkling wands to make their own wishes. We had some very interesting requests; unicorns, tigers, rockets, a falcon, a trampoline and a werewolf.

In maths work this week we have continued learning about subtraction, this time using a number line.

Another very busy and exciting week in school. We have been continuing our story Handa’s Surprise.
This week has been all about exploring the various fruits. 

We have been weighing the different fruits from the story and we even had a chance to taste them all.

The children had to decide which fruit they liked the best.  I think you will agree lovely learning 😃.

This week we found a big fruit mess on the floor in the classroom. We talked about who could have left the mess and wrote labels of who we thought it was. Umaima suggested it may be the girl form Handa’s Surprise so we shared the story together. The children found out facts about elephants 🐘 and drew a picture with labels of their favourite animal from the story.
The children have also love painting different fruits and we sorted healthy and unhealthy food. We all decided eating a lot of  Miss Hutton’s favourite food - chips was not very healthy.
