Just a quick reminder that class water bottles should not contain juice or squash, Unfortunately, when this spills it leaves a sticky mess on the carpet to clean after snack. 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. In class, we made our own version of the story which ...

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.

📱 WhatsApp Privacy Settings – Keeping Our Children Safe Online As our Year 6 pupils become increasingly independent online, we would like to remind pupils and parents about the importance of checking privacy and safety settings on WhatsApp . WhatsApp has a number of settings that can help children have greater control over who can contact them, who can add them to groups and who can see their personal information . 🔒 How to check your privacy settings Open WhatsApp and go to: Settings → Privacy From here, you can review a number of important settings: 👥 Groups Check who is able to add you to WhatsApp groups. Adjusting this setting can help prevent children from being added directly to unwanted groups. If someone who cannot add them tries to do so, they can receive an invitation instead and choose whether to join. 📸 Profile Photo Choose who can see your profile photograph. Consider whether you want people you don't know to be able to see it. 🟢 Last Seen & Online You can co...

 Today, we continued our learning about place value . We practised comparing numbers using the greater than, less than and equal to symbols . The children rolled a dice to generate their own 3-digit numbers and then worked on ordering them from smallest to largest. We used our stem sentence to help us explain our thinking and discovered that if the greatest place value is the same, we need to look at the next biggest place value to decide which number is greater.
