Weekly Update-7/9/23
Posted: Sep 7, 2023 by: Mr Kyriacou (n.kyriacou) on: Beech Tree Blog
Hello everyone,
Welcome back to Rufford Park and welcome to our weekly class blog where we will share the learning we have undertaken in class. It will be updated every Friday each week of term. What a fabulous start to the year! It has been lovely getting to know the children this week. They have settled in really well and I have been extremely impressed with how positive and enthusiastic they have all been whilst settling into our new classroom and routines. I have had such an enjoyable start to each day because the children have welcomed me every day with such happy beaming smiles despite potentially underlying start of term nerves.
We are very excited to share that we have been able to organise a visit to Murton Park this half term to support us with our new topic about the Vikings and Anglo-Saxons. Further details regarding the trip have been shared via ParentPay.
It was also lovely to meet so many grown ups this week, either at our class door, or during our Wednesday drop in sessions before and after school.
On our first day back, the children created their own half self portraits and did an absolutely brilliant job with them. They look great and are currently displayed outside the classroom. Below are some lovely examples from the children.
In maths, we have started working on place value, understanding what is, how to identify the value of each digit in a number and also show the value of each digit in a number in a variety different ways. The children have shown great mathematical knowledge and shown a really positive attitude to their learning.
I am here to support both your child and you, so if you have any questions, or are unsure of information we send out, please just let me or the office know (at the class door, via the Beech Tree email address beech@ruffordparkprimary.org.uk or via the Office telephone).
Take care,
Mr Kyriacou :)
