2014 DT Christmas competition has begun!

Design Technology Christmas Competition! This year the DT competition is based around making a tree decoration and all classes are welcome to take part! ·       Your decoration must be able to hang from a tree
·       It must be made from as many recycled materials as possible
·       You must have your name and class on a label clearly displayed.
·       What type of decoration can you create which make it unique from other decorations before?!

The closing date for this competition is Thursday 11^th December. Please take the decorations to the hall; we will be hanging them ready for judges and assembly!  Good luck!  Finally, we do accept parent help will be needed for this but it should be clear that the child has been involved too!

A big well done

A MASSIVE well done to all the children who took part in the class assembly today. There were some very confident children to stand up in front of all those people! 

Also, thank you for all coming to the Woodland Feast this afternoon and digging in to the lovely selection of food that reception had made. We have now finished our Gruffalo topic and will begin looking at Christmas from next week.

Thank you all for your generosity!

Thank you so much to everyone that came to the Bring and Buy Sale on Wednesday. We were very grateful that so many of you donated some fantastic items that were no longer wanted.

 

Due to everyone's generosity on Wednesday and on the non school uniform day on the 14th of November we have raised over £340 for Children in Need!

 

I would like to say a big thank you to all of the staff and children that helped on the day. Well done!

Assembly tomorrow!

Just a quick reminder that it is reception's first class assembly tomorrow. The children have been practising hard all week and are excited to show you what we have been up to. 

Also, later on tomorrow you are welcome to arrive from 3pm to come and join in our woodland feast! Please come to where you normally pick up. We look forward to seeing you.

Sounds being covered this week

Hello everyone,

The sounds that we are introducing this week are:

'ow' - as in how - Pretend your finger is a needle and prick thumb saying ow, ow, ow.

'ur' - as in fur - Hold knee as if hurt and say ur,ur

'oi' - as in coin - Cup hands around mouth and shout to another boat saying oi! ship ahoy!

As well as these new sounds we will be revising some of the sounds already learnt and introducing the tricky word 'my'. 

Next week all children will bring home a group reading book that contains more of the newer phonemes. This is to try and get children reading more complex texts. Most children revel at the chance of a challenge!

Assembly lines

Hello all,

Just a quick note to say that children will have come home today with their assembly line in their bookbags. It would be fantastic if you could practise this with your child for Friday. Thank you

Also, thank you for the amazing amount of writing that we are getting into school from children, a real variety! These will be copied and added to learning journeys so thank you again!
