Welcome to Year 4

All the children are now settling well into their 4th week of Year 4.  It’s great to see attitudes to learning are high and this is also seen with their enthusiasm to complete tasks at home.

 

Home learning this year will take the form of internet based activities on Reading Plus and Times Table Rockstars.  It is essential that the children complete these daily.  They are both fantastic programs which really boost reading and times table knowledge.

 

Please speak to your child’s teacher if you have questions about how to log in to these programs.

There are also optional mini projects for the children to complete.  Click on the link to view these.

Balancability and Jack and the Beanstalk

It’s been a busy few weeks for us in Reception with the children taking part in Balancability and Fun Factory which took place on Tuesday of this week. Balancability will continue to take place on Friday mornings with the children learning lots of bike riding skills, they have had fun so far!!

 

Since we started Term 5, we have been looking at the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. The children have acted out the story (after we had embarrassed ourselves first by acting it out panto style, sorry no pictures) and been creating their own story maps to help them retell the story really well. Next week they will be writing the story themselves, we look forward to reading and seeing all the books they create.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Football Fun

 

Well done to all of Year 5, who persevered and gave 100% at the football tournament last Tuesday.

A special mention to St Nicholas first team, who came 4th, just missing out on 3rd place.

All of the children did so well – especially as most of the other competitors were Year 6! St Nicholas may not have won but we had the most fun and danced throughout the day!

Mother’s Day celebrations in Year 1

Thank you so much to all the mums, aunts, grandmothers, carers and even some sneaky dads who all came to doing us for our Year 1 Craft afternoon. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did, the children loved making their cross-stitch hearts, porcelain dishes and tea-light holders for you, though I think maybe the biscuit decorating was equally as fun for the kids!

Here are some photos of our afternoon, we can’t wait to invite you back into class again soon 🙂
