Around The Classes

Reception Class (RP) French

Reception Class (RP) enjoyed their first lessons in French. I read them a story in French about a now familiar character, Emilie. We then watched and sang the traditional French song Frère Jacques!

Reception Class (RE) French

Today we coloured some French flags in readiness for learning some colours in French. We also used Madame Tatton’s magic black boxes. If you speak in French into the small black boxes, they will play back what you said! Speak in English and the black box remains silent!

Class 1S Problem Solving

Class 1S heard a story about a boy called Andrew who decorated biscuits for a party. He decorated every second biscuit with icing, every third biscuit with a cherry and every fourth biscuit with a chocolate button. It was interesting to see how many had more than one decoration - and the 12th biscuit was the best biscuit as it had ALL the decorations!

Class 1S Children Checking Their CH - Words

We have been completing activities and tasks to embed the sound of 'ch' and then Charlotte proclaimed, 'we could make paper chains!' So.... that's what we did!

Class 2W Consider Feelings

Year 2 children have been considering their feelings.  They understand that there is no such thing as a 'bad' feeling.  It's about what you do with a feeling. 

Each child went on to think of a safe place - how does it make them feel, what can they see and what can they hear there.  Children identified the beach, the woods, a family walk, home, school, bedroom...

Co-Curricular Forest School

This week, Forest School Club enjoyed the glorious sunshine. We sat outside and painted some pictures. We did not use paints from the art room, nor paint brushes. Instead, in true Forest School style, we made our own natural paints by crushing berries (elderberries and blackberries) with sticks and stones and we used our hands and some feathers and sticks to paint.

The resulting master pieces are as unique as the children!

Sachin's KM Challenge

Mrs Gupta sent in a picture of Sachin with this Great Run Solo medal. He (and brother Keshav) had a place in the Junior Great North Run which would have taken place last Saturday, but of course it was cancelled due to Covid19.

Instead Sachin (and Keshav) signed up to do the Great Run Solo Challenge which was to run 1 kilometre every day for 7 days, which they managed to do at the end of the Summer holidays and raised some money for the charities that would have lost out.

Good work Sachin and Keshav, what a lovely thing to do.
