Term 2 Week 1

Max Covington – Birch

Great attitude to learning and beautiful handwriting

 

Homework has been assigned this week on Mathletics.  There are four tasks to complete on Place Value, involving more than and less than.

Year 4 have reviewed their topic of Fashion and shared their hard work and creations with a catwalk display during today’s celebration assembly.

Boogie Bounce was great fun for all the children.  It certainly took some energy to keep bouncing for 20

minutes!

Friday Reading Mornings

Thank you to the all the parents that came and joined us this morning to share a story with the children, it was a very successful first session and we look forward to you joining us again next week. The children all enjoyed having you join us and described it as a special time! Here are a few pictures to share with you

 

Fire Service Visit

We were really lucky to have Kent Fire and Rescue Service visit us on Tuesday.

The children learnt about the role of a fire fighter, we saw what protective clothing they have to wear and how they keep safe.

We also learnt some rhymes to help keep us safe…

Matches, lighters

never touch

They can hurt you

very much

We also learnt that every week we should check our smoke detectors, so that when we are sleeping they can be our eyes and our noses and detect fire for us!

Keep your family safe from harm

Have a working smoke alarm

Both classes then tested materials as part of our science topic this term to find out which material would be the best for a fireman’s hose!

Days of the week

We have been learning the days of the week as part of our Mental Maths lessons this week.

Can you remember the song and use it to help you remember which day comes next?

Have fun with this game too….

Ugly Bug Ball

Well.. What a way to end the term!

We had a great last day, the children decorated their t-shirts, made some bug foods and we then spent the afternoon enjoying all our hard work from the morning 🙂

We had a surprise visit from our very own hungry caterpillar who came to check that we had remembered all the sounds we had learnt this term. The children had bubbles to enjoy the sunshine outside and then we practised our butterfly dancing (amongst other insects) with Miss Durham.

Thank you to all the parents who supported us by bringing in t-shirts.

Have a great Half term break.

End of Term 1

We have reached the end of the first Term.  It has been a busy term.

The children have completed their tie dye t-shirts yesterday and today.  The results will be posted after the break when they have all dried.

Watch this space!
