7th October, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 7th Oct 2021 @ 5:18pm
So far this week we have enjoyed measuring in maths, finding things longer or shorter than a fork, investigating who is the tallest in our class and who was the shortest. We also used multlink cubes to measure how long and short objects were. We enjoyed PE today playing different games in 2’s and 3’s practising our rolling skills, catching skills and developing tactics to score a goal!!

This week in Science we carried on exploring the senses using our sense of taste and smell to guess the flavour of crisps. We recorded our favourite flavour , which was beef and onion!
We enjoyed a Science afternoon with Miss Lynch and Mrs Woolley, great fun!! Ask me what we did!! I will put the details of the Science badge on Google classroom so you can complete at home if you would like too.
Thank you so much to the children who made a poster to be our class representives.Keeva and Samuel are our eco warriors and Cole and Maisy are our school parliament representatives.
We enjoyed our Harvest Festival in church, lovely to be back celebrating in church. The scarecrows looked amazing , well done to all the Zebras who enjoyed making one, you will all receive a certificate and winners will be announced on Monday in assembly.

This week we have enjoyed finding out about some of our senses, looking and listening. We had a partner , one had to close their eyes and the other to lead them carefully.It felt a bit scary when you closed your eyes! In maths we have been comparing numbers and objects, one more ,one less , which is greater , which is less. We enjoyed watching weather forecasts in Geography and collecting weather words and symbols. More rolling through targets and along a line in PE.
Have a lovely weekend, don’t forget homework on google classroom.If you want to be part of our school parliament or eco team get thinking about why you would be a good choice.We will be voting next week?

Online Safety, by Mr Pearson
Date: 3rd Mar 2021 @ 4:59pm
The online world offers amazing opportunities but also brings elements of potential risk and for Parents, making sense of the online world can appear to be an enormous challenge. Unlike previous generations, the online environment is an integral part of children’s lives and therefore we can no longer consider their wellbeing or safety without also considering their relationship to technology. However, staying safe online is fundamentally about behaviours rather than the technology itself and if approached from this perspective, we can begin to gain confidence to support our children.
The link below provides some useful tips for Parents when discussing the online environment with children. In addition, this page also contains a variety of resources which can be used to develop knowledge and confidence to support children. You will also find useful information in the news and events section of the site through the link at the bottom of the page.
