Beauty and the Beast
On our first day back from the Christmas holidays the whole school enjoyed watching a pantomime of the story; ‘Beauty and the Beast’.
It was really funny and we enjoyed the different characters, their costumes, singing and acting. There were parts we had to join in to help the characters which we loved doing.
DT Cooking
For our New Years Eve party we made lots of food to share.
We grated, mixed, stirred and cut all the ingredients to make some yummy food.
New Years Eve Party
We had a fantastic time making food and sharing it as part of our New Year’s party! We danced, played musical statues, ate scrumptious food and sang ‘Auld Lang Syne’ together. We then enjoyed watching the fireworks in class.
The Teddy Bear Wedding!
As part of our RE lessons we learnt about both Christian and Muslim weddings. We hosted a Teddy Bear Christian wedding in the school hall.
Our seats were arranged so that we could choose whether we were friends of the bride or groom. Some children took on the roles of bridesmaids, best men whilst others were witnesses, photographers and some threw the confetti at the end. It was a very happy occasion. Our congratulations to Mr & Mrs Teddy-Lion!
Animal Fu Workshop
We had a marvellous time learning to follow some Animal Fu movements. We met a Grasshopper and Tiger who each had their own unique moves for us to follow. It was really enjoyable moving in new ways.
Safer Internet Day
On Tuesday 6th February we were very fortunate that one of our governors (and a fellow parent); Debbie kindly volunteered to deliver a Safer Internet Day assembly. She helped guide our discussions about how to stay safe, encouraged us to ask questions and think about various scenarios we might encounter and what we could do.
Maths Games
Thank you to all the parents who came to support our Maths Games morning. We really appreciate you sparing the time to support the children in playing the games and taking turns. It was great fun and it really supports the children in practising key Maths skills in a relaxed and fun way.
Music
This term we have been practising moving in time to the music in different ways, e.g marching, swaying, clapping and moving like various animals. We have learnt to count to the 8,4 and 2 beats. We have also listened to a variety of music styles: Funk, Folk, Latin and Blues.
Science Museum
Year One took a coach into central London to visit the Science Museum. We had a wonderful time and we were so impressed by their excellent behaviour.
We particularly admired the way they showed respect towards others (from our school and the general public).
We visited the Space exhibition and used our ‘I spy’ sheets to spot different artefacts such as the V2 rocket, an astronaut suit, a moon/globe projection, a space nappy and more! We searched for artefacts such as the ‘Pong’ game, a washing dolly, a microwave amongst many other interesting objects.
Our coach drivers were pleased with how polite and sensible we were as it made the drive much more pleasant for them too!
Lastly a huge thanks to all the parents in particular those who were able to join us. It is not possible without your help and support.
World Book Day
We brought in our favourite books and dressed up as our favourite story characters for World Book Day. It was so much fun talking about the stories we love to read and taking part in a character parade in the hall. Thank you so much for making the effort with costumes as it really added to the fun! It was a double celebration with Green Class’ assembly on the same day!
Science Week
Exploring, observing, investigating… we had a great time undertaking investigations in our classrooms. Our parent helpers meant we could talk about our learning, ask and answer questions and help to ensure we got the most out of our activities! The planting, the magnets, the boat building and the exploding mentos volcano were all brilliant fun!
Spring Assembly
We loved singing songs and performing poems in our Spring Assembly. Thank you again for your parental support, we so enjoy seeing you in school and sharing what we are doing!
Class Assemblies
Each class worked hard to create their own class assembly based on their learning from this term. We hope you enjoyed them
