This week in nursery we have been learning all about pets. We have made cats, dogs and fish using lots of different materials in our workshop area. We really enjoyed painting animals too. We have learnt to name lots of pets and have even learnt a new song about visiting a pet shop. We also had an exciting delivery in a box and did lots of talking about what we thought was inside. It was our Christmas Tree! We have enjoyed making a start on decorating it with different shapes.

If your child needs to self-isolate, this will allow them to access online resources provided by their class teacher so that they can continue with their learning at home. 

Your child has been given their email address and password to access this account.  Please can you support your child/ren to login using the Parent Guide attached.

In music this half term, we are learning about jazz, looking at the origins and the instruments that are prevalent in this type of music. This week, we have developed our skills on the glockenspiels, practising using an array of notes. Next week, we will be starting the composition element of our unit, and we are excited to apply our skills.

This week we have published our fantastic Kennings poems about Rio Carnival. We have tried to give the reader a flavour of what Rio Carnival is like by using some vibrant, exciting vocabulary. We hope you like them. 

In nursery this week we have had a very exciting visit from some owls! We went all the way into the junior hall to watch the beautiful birds fly, eat and even make owl noises for us! We learnt lots of interesting facts about owls such as they sleep on one leg! We had great fun trying to close our eyes and stand on one leg. We had the opportunity to have a turn at wearing a special glove on our arm and have an owl sit on it. It was very exciting to see them so close and we did lots of fantastic work after. Some of us had a go at using the computer to draw and owl, we made them out of play dough and even made some on the writing table! We have been doing lots of talking about our experiences and sharing our thoughts. 

What a great week we have had and we cannot wait to show you the photos! 

We have started our fractions unit in year 6 this week.  We have spent the week developing our conceptual understanding through finding equivalent fractions, simplifying fractions based on our knowledge of common factors and converting mixed numbers and improper fractions.

This week in Year 2 we have started to add and subtract. We have been looking at how we can use number facts that we know to solve other number sentences. We have found that if we know our number bonds to 10 then we can find our number bonds to 100. We have all really enjoyed maths this week.
