WEEK 4

Flipgrid 
What do you know about art?
To complete our work on "How we express ourselves' the children were invited to create a video to talk about what they have learned about how art is used and how it makes people feel. We then watched the videos and talked about about what each other had said.







Our Essential Agreements
The children had created a set of agreements that we try to follow when we are at school. 
This week the children were asked.....
"What if we don't follow our essential agreements, what should happen to us?"


The consequences they decided upon were quite reasonable. They ranged from missing playtime breaks to sitting in an other classroom. From not playing with blocks to missing some part of break time. They were very sensible suggestions. 




Boys at the Beach
I was on duty the other day in the basket ball court. I saw some of class sitting on chairs looking through the fence at the beautiful swimming pool we have. I asked them, "What are you doing?" Their reply was awesome. "We are pretending we are at the beach!" It made me smile and I thought this would be a great story to share with you all.






Teamwork Assembly 
Our PSPE lessons have been focusing on "How we work as a team" So this week we went outside and tried to put some of the skills we had learned to the test. 
In fact we did very well as a team. Well done guys!















Maths
We have been reviewing some of the skills we learned about early in term one. So this week we have been investigating why numbers are written they way they are?
Answer "We write them them as tens and ones so that we can count and order them easily."
 Some of the children were asked too explain what they understand about the concept of tens and ones to their friends. 
They did this very well. 
Those who knew about tens and ones were challenged with even larger numbers!
We revised our "number bonds to 10" and how to count up in; 2's 5's and 10's 













English
This week we used the theme of "Superheroes" to encourage us to write sentences and show our understanding of what we are reading.
we read our "home books" to adults in the room and praticed our spelling. 










U.O.I  "Proud to Present"
We worked as a team to create a poster about teamwork, then each group shred their work with the class. The children decided who was going to talk based on who was confident and able to talk to the class. Others were given special jobs because they had other skills to share. A huge team building activity.








Science Day

We celebrated "Science Day" today by visiting different areas of the school and taking part in various experiments.  The theme of the day was "SCIENCE FUN IS EVERYWHERE"

 TEAM WORK This week and next week we are focusing on how a great team works together. Such as how we can do things to help each other and what a great team says to each other in ways of encouragement.  Last week we tried to build tall towers. This week our tall towers were built after we had our chat about what makes a team.  I am happy to tell you that we have started to help each other and work together and talk positively together. Maths   We are learning about tens and ones and what each digit means in a number. Miss Emmi's group are also investigating digits and what they mean when we see them.  English We are starting to experiment with letter names and sounds. We are starting to find ways with computers to learn our letter names and sounds. We tried doing our first writing of the year which I can use to compare how much they have improved by the end of the school year.  U.O.I. We are now aware of the reasons we try to eat healthy food....

We hope you had a relaxing break and are recharged for the path to Christmas.  Please can you support your children with reading at home.  The more they read the stronger they will become.  Here at school we will endeavor to change their book when we feel they are ready to move on to  new book. Here are some works we are proud of from last term. Swimming Mr. Dave's Jellyfish Temperature Check Each day at lunchtime we check the children's temperature and get them to wash their hands as part of our covid 19 school policy.  Here are some images of that happening.  "Happy Birthday!"
