  A HUGE well done to all my class for a fantastic start to swimming lessons. The instructors were so impressed with your respect and excellent listening during the safety talks and you were all so supportive of each other. I am looking forward to getting stuck in to your water safety lessons next week.

   

  Year 6 also met a new teacher, Mr Dovey, who will be working closely with the year 6 children on their maths every Wednesday with me and had a superb extra long maths practice this afternoon learning some tricky maths. So proud of your hard work and commitment to your learning. Keep this up and we're winning! 😃

   

  Year 5 also had a great time in their last Forest school session, but ate all the marshmallows! Yum! 

   

  Thank you to the parents who have already raided their photo albums, artefacts and stories about North or South America. We will be focusing on these areas until Easter. Keep them coming in!

   

  Last big job of this week is to get our cohesive writing in our reports, so we can send them off to the WWF to see if they will publish some in their magazine. We will be looking at Japanese Renga poetry next week to send with them. Lots of syllable clapping and awesome vocabulary to be thought about.

   

  Keep up the excellent work everyone. 

  Mrs North, Mrs Varney and Mrs Carnelly.

  What a great start to the week with a wonderful walk in our local area. The children spotted human and physical features, different settlements and land uses and made sketches of the river. We had some lovely feedback on the children’s behaviour from the public – well done! Mr Jenkins class will go this week. We also had a go at orienteering around the school and working out geography vocabulary anagrams. Not forgetting making up dance moves to famous landmarks in North America in PE!  

  Our next stop in geography, is our main focus on America. We will be starting with North America for this half term before moving on to South America.  

  If anyone has any knowledge, artefacts, photographs or anything interesting to share, which will help the children understand migration, climate, landmarks, rivers, mountains in North or South America please send us an email!

  This week our children in Perfect Penguins and Tremendous Turtles went for a local walk around the River Gardens to help them understand some new vocabulary in Geography. They were also looking for what human and physical features they could see and discussing them along the way. They finished their walk by sketching the river and enjoying some of the lovely winter sunshine! Fingers crossed for great weather next week for our Successful Seals!
