  F1 - Muddy Adventure Fun!

  This week we have been learning about shapes in numeracy. Miss Frisby’s group looked at 3D shapes and we had lots of discussions about our shapes. Did it have a curved face, corners or straight edges? Each child had a shape and had to talk about it using these new words. We also matched our 2D shapes to the ones Miss Frisby had drawn and we were very good at talking about their properties. Mrs Fenton’s group have been looking at 2D shapes and drawing them and looking at things that are special about them. We even made shapes out of sticks in the woods.

  In literacy, Mrs Fenton’s group have been singing lots of nursery rhymes and Beat Baby was really helpful at introducing the characters from the songs. Our friends are getting excellent at singing them; Dakota’s mummy sent a video of her singing Twinkle Twinkle and we all watched it with delight, on the white board. I think she could be on The X Factor!

  Miss Frisby’s group have been reading Handa’s Surprise; Merida (our chatterbox) introduced lots of objects from the story and we had to guess what the story could be. There was an elephant, a zebra, a goat and Kayden said that that was in our story - The Three Billy Goats Gruff. You’re right Kayden! I love how you make links with your learning! But we also had fruit which was a bit different to the ones we eat at snack time - a mango and a pineapple, but there was also banana and we eat them every week! By the time you read this, we will have tasted them! Yummy!

  Tree-mendous Tuesday was a mud fest - a bit like Glastonbury but instead of live bands we had Daisy and Zuzanna singing for us! I think they could be on the Pyramid Stage! Lots of our friends did get really muddy but no one cared and they carried on with their adventure! I think lots of washing machines were whizzing around in Langold on Tuesday night! Annalise’s mummy blogged that hers was! Sophia in F2’s mummy had donated a hosepipe and Mrs Fenton hooked it up to the outside tap and washed all our wellies. She wasn’t very careful and splashed the children too! Another fun experience!!

  Lots of our mummies blogged that our friends fell to sleep early that night and I bet there were lots of muddy filled dreams!

  Year 4/4A - Fun Learning in Sherwood Forest!

   

  Year 4 had a fantastic day at Sherwood Forest on Tuesday. We learnt lots of new (and some gruesome!) facts about the life and death of Robin Hood and about interesting events that happened in Sherwood Forest many years ago. We got the chance to hold a real sword!

  As well as looking at many other artefacts, we examined bows and arrows. In the afternoon we had an amazing time den building. We had to draw on many skills such as: problem solving, listening, team work, co-operation, resilience and designing - to name a few. Our guide tested our dens by throwing water at them - as you can imagine some of us got quite wet! But we can always find ways to reflect and improve on our building and design.

  It was a brilliant day full of fun learning activities. Our children were a credit to our school. Well done, Year 4!

• What Makes Britain Great?

  Fri 13 Jan 2017

  What Makes Britain Great?

  As a class, Year 6A have been talking about British Diversity and what an amazing county we live in. We have been learning about tolerance and mutual respect of others. (Not just religious but also life style choices.) Rule of law (why laws exist, why they are important and what can happen if they are broken.) Liberty ( we can leave the country to travel, we can hold any job we put our mind to and we are educated in a safe environment.) Democracy ( Freedom of choice, no decisions are made by one person, majority rules.)

  Here are a few examples of why Year 6A think Britain is Great:

  Why is Britain Great?

  Britain is great because we have a free NHS care and the support from doctors and nurses. We get free education and are all entitled to learn in a safe, caring environment. We get the opportunity to vote in decisions about our country and are innocent until proven guilty in the court of law. We live in tolerance and mutual respect of different religions and cultures. (Lucie Martin)

   

  Why is Britain Great?

  We live in a mostly peaceful country and respect other’s religion, skin tone, language or life style choices. We get the opportunity to vote on important decisions that effect our country and lives such as leaving or staying in the European Union. We have some of the fairest laws in the world and are innocent until proven guilty. (Aimee Stephenson)

   

   

  Why is Britain Great?

  Britain is great because we have the right to freedom. We are allowed to make choices that affect us. We are tolerant of different religions and males and females are equal in worth. We marry for love rather than arrangement and gain a good, free education to help us get better jobs later in life. (Kaceylou Harrison)
