Ola!

The poster says it all… we had a fabulous “Mexican Day” on Thursday but we were all shattered on Friday! Thank you for helping to dress your children in the colours of the Mexican flag – they looked incredibly colourful – we have some great photos! Watch this space for the pic collages the children have made to advertise the day. The children enjoyed making Chili Con Carnie, sour cream dip and salsa which was then followed by doughnuts dipped in chocolate, cinnamon and sugar and finally a drink of pineapple, orange and lemon juice. I hope the children will share their new skills and help you out when it comes to peeling and chopping salads and vegetables over the coming weeks. They also completed some sensational pieces of art work which will be displayed in the classroom – well done to Mya, you received the Golden Certificate for your stunning pic collage!

As a lead into our science next term we collected the seeds from the peppers and the chilies and the stones from the avocado, next week we hope to plant them. We also have some marigolds to plant to cheer up the area outside our classroom.

We will continue to work on decimals in maths and complete our posters in literacy. The guided reading groups are working well. No spellings this week but watch this space next week.

Thank you for completing the parent evening slips: you will receive an email next week with your TEAMS time slot. We have tried our very best with the times we have allocated you – it will be a new experience for us all keeping to allocated times.

We hope you all have a super Bank Holiday weekend. If the weather falls cold reading together as a family is a real treat. Stay safe and enjoy the extra day at home.

Good afternoon,

We have had a super four days back this week. The children have completed their quest story books. We will continue learning about decimals in our math lessons next week. Our spellings for this week can be found on the spellings site but the children have all been given a paper copy too.

We are all super excited to start our theme for the Summer Term next week! I am sure you have guessed by the flag above and the letter the children have brought home this afternoon that our theme is …

“Around The World in Eighty Days… Mexico!”

To launch our theme we are holding a Mexican Day next Thursday. We would like the children to dress up in red, green or white clothing or all three colours. Please do not buy anything special – we have sombreros at school and false moustaches too!

We have many other exciting things planned for the rest of the term. Our thematic overview will be placed on this page next week for you to see.

Please, please continue to read with your child at home and make a record in their reading diaries. We have spent a long time this week looking at the reading assessment results and organising some super guided reading tasks ready for the coming weeks.

The children need to continue to to learn their times tables. We will be setting some times tables homework in the coming weeks – we will post each task on the homework page and also give each child a hard copy.

Meanwhile, enjoy the lovely weather. I hope hay fever does not get in the way for some of you.

Enjoy!

Mrs.P, Miss Allison, Mrs Smith and Ms Nicholas.

We made it! It really seems as if we have been back for the whole term. It has been great having all of the children back in class.

We completed the term by having an Easter Egg Hunt outside the classroom – who would have thought the weather would change so quickly over night? Followed by the cinema experience: they watched “How To train Your Dragon 2.”

The children have completed their power-points about The Vikings. I am sure Miss Allison will email some of them to you via the children’s new emails next term. Talking of which, all of the children have their new passwords and will be able to access their emails. We have reminded them that once you create that email any thing you write will stay there. It is for school work purposes.

Please make sure you keep reading during the holidays.

We look forward to seeing the children back on Tuesday 20th April. Enjoy the holiday and hopefully, now Lent is over, we can share some chocolate. Have a well earned rest, thank you for your continued support: your children are an absolute delight.

P.S. All spellings will resume after Easter.

Hello, what a great week we have had. The sunshine has certainly helped and the children have enjoyed being outside.

The children have really got to know a Viking myth/story – they have used drama to retell the story, filmed it and today retold the myth in their own words. We continue to work with decimals in our maths lessons, this week we have focused on hundredths. There is a great song on You Tube which my group have particularly enjoyed. This is the link to the web page:

I hope you enjoy it!

During history and IT lessons the children are compiling their own power-points about The Vikings.

The children have completed lots of assessments this week and in due course we will share their results with them.

Next week we have only four days in school as it is Good Friday. Please remember the Easter competitions, I am looking forward to seeing the entries form Oak Class.

Have a super weekend,

Mrs.P, Miss Allison, Mrs Smith and Mrs Nicholas.

Hello Everyone!

What a super week we have had completing lots of our work. I have enjoyed finding out where the Vikings came from and why they decided to come to the United Kingdom all those years ago. I am certainly ready for a change from fractions, I am sure you are too! The persuasive letters I have seen have been very well written and persuasive to say the least.

I can’t wait for next week when you all return: we will return to “Science Week.” We have thought of lots of interesting questions for you to investigate. Our over all theme is “Materials.”

Guess what this is?

Please can you remember to wear your uniform with your T shirts and a sweatshirt along with a warm and waterproof coat each day. The windows and doors will be open to allow lots of fresh air to circulate around the class room. You need to wear your PE kit to school on Wednesday: make sure you wear joggers, t shirt, sweatshirt and trainers – again to keep warm.

You need to bring your purple work book, reading diary and books to school during the coming week. I am really looking forward to seeing what you have done while you have been at home. Don’t worry – everyone will be at different stages – we will just start from where we can. Ms Nicholas has been busy getting your pencil pots and resources ready. The classroom is still organised in rows. We will be using sanitiser into school and washing hands frequently. We need to keep to 2m apart as much as we can.

Your entrance into and out of school is exactly the same, through the spare classroom. I will be on the play ground to remind you where to go and Mrs Smith will be in the classroom to greet you.

All we need to do now is get set go! We are all looking forward to welcoming you back but I also have to say a huge thank you to the children who came to school over the last few months – they were very, very busy and kept us smiling. A massive thank you to your parents, family and carers who have all helped you to learn on line. Fab-u-lous!

See you soon,

Mrs.P. xxx

Hello Everyone!

It has been super to catch up with you on the video links. Hopefully, next week I will see all of you. Meanwhile, those of you who did not turn up have had an email or a phone call.

Here is your Week 8 Remote Learning Timetable.

Week 8 Remote Learning (1)

You will notice that next Thursday is “World Book Day!” So, I have added lots of activities to do with your favourite book or a book you have read or even “How To Train Your Dragon.” I hope you enjoy them, you can do them in any order that you want to. By the way, some of you have completed the You Tube entries for Cressida Cowell. If you have, use the time to enjoy reading your own books and this will give other people in the class time to catch up.

The spellings for this week are on the spelling page.

Enjoy your weekend, it won’t be long now so please make sure you have a good rest!

See you all soon, Mrs.P. xxx

Hello Everyone!

I hope you have all had a super half term? I am looking forward to seeing you all on TEAMS next week to catch up. I hope you managed to make some pancakes last Tuesday… remember to send your flipping pancake photos and any other work to our class email.

Here is the coming weeks plan, our theme is “The Vikings” in History and “Materials” in Science. We are continuing with fractions in Maths and instructions in Literacy. ENJOY!

Week 7 Remote Learning (1)

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday, I shall be ironing Mr.P’s shirts this afternoon! Have you noticed that there seem to be lots and lots of snowdrops popping up in the garden, wonder what will be next… daffodils, crocus or tulips? Any ideas let me know in your video link. Make sure you are ready to talk about a favourite character from your reading book this week.
