Goodbye Mrs Drake
It was Mrs Drake’s last day in Key Stage 1 today. We had a little party to say goodbye. We will miss you Mrs Drake (although you can still see her if you go to Out of School Club)!
Geography : virtual field work
We have been looking for physical (cliff, hill, coast, forest) and human (city, house, road, factory) features today. We couldn’t see these in our immediate environment, so we looked at photographs around the classrooms. We used clipboards and worked in pairs, discussing what we observed.
Adjective day!
What a fun-filled day talking about adjectives all day! Thank you for the brilliant costumes.
We have learnt a catchy song :
Adjectives can tell you more
About a noun and that’s for sure
Ad-jec-tives
Geography topic – ‘Where in the world am I?’
We have been enjoying learning facts about the world : the seven continents and five oceans. We find singing is a great way to learn these facts. Join in at home – they are very catchy and we often find that children spontaneously burst into song or adults singing the songs as they walk around school!
Children in Need
We enjoyed an hour of physical activity for Children in Need on Friday. Thank you for all the contributions which went towards our total of £318.11.
Living and Learning: STOP bullying
This week, our Living and Leaning statement was I know how to STOP bullying.
All week we have discussed what STOP means in our school definition of bullying. We know that STOP means two things. Several Times on Purpose and Start Telling Other People. All the children knew who to tell if they experience bullying.
In support of anti-bullying week, on Tuesday, we took part in Odd Socks Day. It is a great opportunity to encourage people to express themselves and celebrate their individuality and what makes us all unique! It also helps raise the awareness of bullying.
Adjective day 20.11.19
After the success of the KS1 Adjective Day last year, we are doing it again. We are learning more about the functions of words. Hopefully your child has been talking about nouns already! On Wednesday 20th November, we are going to have an ‘Adjective Day’. The children will be asked to come in to school dressed as an adjective. The adjective can be as simple or as adventurous as you like. Please ensure that your child is aware of the word meaning and feels confident in sharing this with the class. Please do not go to the expensive of buying anything new and have fun creating your adjective outfit!
Remembrance Day
We observed a minute of silence this week on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour.
Golden Star
Well done to our most recent Golden Star.
Living and Learning: Apologising
This week’s Living and Learning statement is:
I apologise when I need to.
This week, Year 1 and 2 children have discussed the importance of apologising when they need to. We talked about a time when we’ve apologised and how it made the person feel.
Sometimes, accidents happen. We discussed how it is important to say sorry to make the other person know you didn’t do it on purpose. This is often the first step to make the other person feel better, especially if your mistake made them feel sad or hurt.
Having good manners is respectful. Recognising you have done something wrong and then apologising shows you are being respectful and following our school rules.
