First Week Back. Week Ending: 26.2.16

Hello,

We have been busy practising our sewing skills this week in Topic.

In English we have been reading a variety of different poems about space. Some of the poems included: rhyming words, onomatopoeias, alliteration, similes and verses. 
Our Home Learning this week is to read some poems and to discuss what we like about them. Can you come up with your own poem?

In Maths we have been using our time vocabulary. We have been focusing on o'clock, half past and quarter past / to the hour. 

We had great fun on Tuesday taking part in the Moondust on my Socks Workshop. "I enjoyed making the rocket card" William. "My favourite part was when we listened to the space story." Eleni " I liked it when we created a circuit." Millie

This week we went outside to practise our Tennis skills. We challenged ourselves to pass the ball to our partner during a rally. 

This week it was our first time using the maypole. We learnt a dance called the Barbour's Pole and we had a great time. we cannot wait to learn some more maypole dances. 

Congratulations to Lauren who is our Star of the Week. Lauren has come into school this week with a big smile!

Well done to Finn who will be spending the weekend with our Learning Owl Swoop. Finn has shown excellent team work skills as he was a really good partner. 

Next week is Book Week and we will be focusing on poetry. We will be taking part in lots of stop and reads. On Friday you can come into school dressed up as a book character.

Window walling will also start at school next week. On Monday Chestnut Class need to be dropped off and collected from Tree Tops Class- the mobile classroom near the playground. Then on Tuesday Chestnut Class need to enter school through the doors near the playground and come through the hall into Chestnut Class.  

We hope you have a good weekend.
