This week in hockey, the children were learning to shoot correctly.  They had a lot of fun with this exercise drill. 

 Today in maths , we used our place value counters to help our learning and understanding. We had a try at adding and subtracting using our counters. We spoke about using our knowledge of place value when adding and subtracting from 4 digit numbers.

Please provide water for refreshment, if your child has a home packed lunch, please have a lunch box juice/squash bottle if you wish and a class water bottle in addition. We thank you for your continued support with this. EYFS Team

 The children are settling in extremely well to the school routines and it is great to see their confidence growing each day. We have had a busy week that included a visit to St Mary's Church for Harvest Festival. Well done to RB and RW for their first visit. In other areas, the children have learnt more new sounds in Phonics and 2 new tricky words! Ask your child which ones as a talking point. Counting principles have been the focus in our Maths Mastery sessions. The children have been remembering to touch count and move objects for accuracy. We know that the number we stop on is the amount we have. The children learnt that we can still count things that cannot be moved but we need to use a different strategy to ensure accuracy. Our Rhyme Time has been "Tommy Thumb", both RW and RB performed it to an impressed Miss Johnston today. "Brown Bear, Brown Bear , what do you see?" has been our focus text this week.

A Busy Week in Year 6! What a busy and exciting week we have had in Year 6! 📚 This week, we enjoyed exploring the Book Fair, discovering new stories and sharing our favourite books with each other. We also had lots of fun during our F.I.T.C. sessions, where we developed our hockey skills, focusing on passing, receiving and working effectively as a team. 🏑 We have also been getting creative with poetry! We proudly published our autumn rondelet poems, using descriptive language and carefully chosen vocabulary to capture the colours, sights and feelings of autumn. 🍂 We are incredibly proud of our finished poems and the effort everyone has shown this week! P.E - F.I.T.C Writing Have a lovely weekend. Mrs Campbell and Miss Rushen 😊

 This week we have been busy in geography. We have been learning what our world was like millions of years ago. We looked at Pangea and learnt how this was one big land. We had a go at creating this in our books. In science, we spoke about our teeth and how important it is to brush them. We spoke about tooth decay and bacteria. We set up our own investigation with eggs which we will keep an eye on over the next week.
