Today we celebrated words! Exciting words, words that ignite feelings, words within games, expression, adjectives, nouns, verbs, adverbs........ We explored the adjectives we came into school dressed as, creating word art.  We also played word snakes - Seeing how long we could make our 'snakes' linking words by their final letters!  We played charades and also word association - Which we LOVED! This afternoon we shared our learning with the rest of the school! A wonderful day of celebrating books and words!

 Another amazing show of determination and success.  We ended up very last minute with only 5 players, but the girls took on the challenge and worked hard for the team. In a match against St Johns Green, we found ourselves falling behind a very defensive (and tall!) team.  With a goal scored by St John's Green just as time was called (We let them have it as we hoped that one day we would be repaid with the same kindness!) In an amazing feat of teamwork and resilience and some super scoring from Matilda, we fought back to only be one goal behind!   The final score was 4-3 to St Johns, but without the goal scored when 'time' had been called, this would have been a draw! Well done team Kelvedon! Another amazing match! POTM chosen by St John's was Isabella for her speed across the court and her determination to intercept.

B ook focus : we have been making up our own stories this week! We thought about who was in our story, where they were, what happened/what was the problem and then the ending.  In RJ, so far we have had a story about a lion who got their tail stuck under a rock; an elephant who got stuck on a slide at the park and a princess who got trapped in the castle because the drawbridge wouldn't go down. Luckily, a knight came along with a long stick, dipped it in glue and pulled the bridge down. Like the rest of the school, we also read The Word Collector by Peter Reynolds.  We also enjoyed playing some word games this week such as Riddles, 10 Things and Headbandz. Maths focus : ordering numbers (staircase pattern) and talking about numbers that are more than and less than another number.  PE focus : gymnastics, using apparatus to develop balance, control and coordination.  PSCHE/People and Communities focus: know how we can help our friends and identify some people in o...

Happy World Book Day! Today, we looked at the power of words through the story of 'The Word Collector' written by Peter H. Reynolds. Have a look at the fun learning that we took part in today! This morning, we read with the pupils in Mr Ladlow's Year 1 class.  We then went on to complete a word hunt and collected words around the school.   Finally, we learnt about being a builder with our words.
