This week Class 5 had a surprise when they came back into class after break on Monday. In the middle of the floor there was a plant pot with lots of seeds, cabbages, plants and a small creature.
As a class we worked together to figure out which book it might be linked to. After a whole class discussion we realised it was Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter.
We have then spent the week describing Mr McGregor's garden using our super senses, amazing adjectives and superb similies!

Over the last three weeks class 7 have been looking at the story 'Harry and the Jaggedy Daggers'.

During their lessons the children have really impressed Miss Gilmour with their knowledge and vocabulary.
It has been a great start to Year 3 and Miss Gilmour is very excited to see how the children's writing progresses over the year.
Ask your children if they can remember the story we have been reading.

We have had a lovely week in Reception. In our English learning we have been reading a story called 'In Every House on Every Street'. On Monday we were shown a wonder picture of images from our local area. The children were busy acting out different scenes from different rooms in the house. We then drew pictures of what our dream home would be and labelled using our super phonics learning.
In phonics this week we been busy learning some new phonemes and graphemes. We have enjoyed learning the new formation rhymes in handwriting and practicing our oral blending everyday!
In our afternoon learning we have been learning all about Maps, reading the story 'Martha Maps It Out'. We looked at maps of our local area which then inspired us to make our own map using junk modelling resources on the corridor. The children also had a go at making their own maps of the local area, which were fantastic!

This week in Nursery we started our topic for this term 'All About Me!'. Our learning was based on our book of the week 'My Mum and Dad Make Me Laugh!'
We enjoyed reading about a family where Mum liked spots and Dad liked stripes - and the little boy liked grey. We talked about the different animals the characters liked and the different colours in the book. We created collages using our favourite colours and used collage materials created images of our faces - they look fantastic!
In our Family Group time we have been visiting the different areas in Nursery investigating the resources,and talking about what expectations there are about caring for our things in Nursery.
Next week we will be talking about our families. It would be fantastic if the children could bring in a photograph of their family to talk about in their Family Group.
