Well we started the week off with Music and we ended the week with Music. 

On Monday the children had their first 'Singing Assembly' with Mr Jennings.  It was a great way to get warmed -up for the week and the children joined in with great enthusiasm.  Today the children had a Music Workshop called 'Skylar's Missing Note' where they were learning about pitch, tempo, dynamics and rhythm. So all in all a very musical week was had!

We have continued our topic work this week by looking at maps and atlases to locate the continents of the world. I was very impressed with the children's knowledge and what they had remembered from our work on this last year. 

In English we have continued to look at the story of Cinderella.  We have been writing thought bubbles and recounts of a typical day for Cinderella before she met the Prince. We have been reinforcing our work on verbs and looking at how verbs change when they are written in the past tense. We thought about the jobs she had to do and acted them out on the playground. 

In maths we have continued our work on multiplication and also started to look at division.  We have focused on dividing using sharing.  Next week we will be looking at dividing using grouping too.

Our Design and Technology for this half term is to design and make interactive book pages.  If the children have any pop-up, lift the flap  or books with moving parts it would be great if they could bring them in for us to look at.  Our designs will have a Cinderella/Traditional Tales theme.

Have a great weekend.

Happy New Year to you all!

It has been a lovely first week back.  The children have all come back with happy faces and have been really enthusiastic with all their learning.

In maths we have been looking at grouping.  This is in preparation for our unit of work on Multiplication and Division. Any work you can do at home on multiplication and beginning to work on 2,5 and 10 times tables would be much appreciated.  We will be doing lots of work on beginning to recall these facts using mental skills and jottings in school.

In English we are looking at Traditional Tales.  We have started with Cinderella.  The children have been using expanded noun phrases to write descriptions of her in her ballgown.

The most exciting thing this week is that our new Teaching Assistant has joined us.  We are all very happy to have Miss Cotterill join our class and hope that she will be very happy.

I am sure you will have some tired children tonight after their first week back.

Enjoy your weekend.

Well we have reached the end of the first term and what a busy term it has been.

The children have all worked so hard and have been an absolute joy to teach. I am sure that they are all ready for a holiday and well earned rest.

This week the children have enjoyed some Christmas themed fun!  We have made cards and tree decorations.  They have enjoyed using lots of glitter and  I am sure we will be finding it about the classroom for months to come.  We had our party on Wednesday and a surprise visit from Santa too.

Thank you for all the lovely gifts, it really is very kind and generous.

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Mrs Moore
