4B had discussed ways in which we could put our own faith into action and we decided that we wanted to give back to our local community as well as be stewards of Creation by going to Grange park and picking up any litter lying around.  Behaviour was impeccable and a brilliant morning was had by…

At the start of year 2 we planted some sunflower seeds so we could observe how plants grow and change. We were really excited to see how much they had grown (with a little bit of help from a greenhouse!) Today we have measured the height of the plant and identified the roots, stem and leaves.

Year 6 read the poem ‘The Raven’ by Edgar Allan Poe, focusing on the imagery within it. They studied metaphors and similes before writing and performing their own spooky poetry to the class!

We visited church today. Your children were really well behaved and respectful as we looked at different parts of the church. 

We had a really good lesson in music yesterday. We were using the glockenspiels and playing along to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. 
 

We have started reading traditional tales in year 1 this week.

Over the next 6 weeks we will be reading:

• Farmer Duck
• The Gigantic Turnip
• The Little Red Hen

On Tuesday we talked about the farm animals we know, we played with toys and painted our favourite farm animal.

As a stunning start to our new English unit, The Weather Weaver, both classes went outside to look at the clouds and decide on what would be the best way to catch one.  We also thought about what we would want our own cloud to do and what its personality would be like, then went back in to class…

To consolidate our poetry unit of rehearsing and performing a poem, both classes got together to battle it out.  Lots of great performances using expression and intonation and an enjoyable time had by all. Well done Year 4!

What a lovely start to Year 1 we have had!

Your children have worked so hard and really made a positive start in their new class. Enjoy your week at home and I shall look forward to seeing them after the break.

We have finished our learning about materials i year 1 this week. We will revisit parts of this over the year to keep our learning fresh in our minds.

This week we used a variety of materials to find out which ones are absorbent. We had great fun doing this!

Last week we learnt about keeping our teeth clean.

We used tooth brushes and talked about how often we should brush our teeth and why it is so important. Let’s keep brushing!

The year 2 team are all really impressed with how hard everyone has worked this half term. You have settled in really well and showed us how amazing you all are. We are looking forward to another fantastic half term after the holidays.
