Last week in KS1 the children enjoyed finding out all about keeping safe on the road. We were joined by Charlotte and Muffin the cat and learned all about how to walk safely near the road and how to safely cross the road using crossings. The children all enjoyed singing along and Stop, Look, Listen and cross in a straight line.
Thank you for coming to visit us, we loved it!
Yesterday afternoon we were super busy learning the banana dance! We really loved learning all the new words that taught us different ways to prepare our fruits and vegetables! We all want to be rich and famous Youtubers now!
To kick off our new expedition, ‘Ready, Steady, Grow!’, the children in Year 1 discovered a terrible fate had befallen the veggies and we predicted that it must have been that Evil Pea up to no good again! To help us tackle the Evil Pea, we designed our own super hero vegetable that would keep everyone safe! We even decided what special powers they could have to help defeat that nasty Pea once and for all!
As an introduction to our new Expedition, we became YouTuber’s and made our own dance video. Our topic is Ready, Steady, Grow and we are going to be learning all about how to live a healthy lifestyle. We created a video to teach you some dance moves so you can dance along at home too. GO BANANAS!
What a start to the new year! We arrived in our classroom this morning to see some terrible crimes had been committed whilst we were away. We hunted the classroom to take pictures of the crime scene, we made predictions about who could have done these terrible things and we shared our new class text! Our new class text is Supertato! We looked at the front cover and talked about what we predicted might happen in the story. After reading an email from the kitchen about some peas going missing from the freezer, we believe we know who our culprit is! EVIL PEA!
As we don’t have Supertato at our school, we designed our own Super Vegetable/Fruit! Someone who could fight our villain, who is still at large!
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are delighted to inform you about an online learning platform called NumBots that weāre using to support your childās understanding of number bonds and to help their addition and subtraction skills. These are the essential building blocks for higher-level maths concepts, so we are excited by the impact that NumBots will have on your childās learning.
We will also be celebrating children’s achievements each week in our community crew, where we will be presenting the children’s certificates.
Logging In
The children have been shown how to log in and have brought home a username label containing their unique login details. NumBots can be played on a browser (play.numbots.com) or via the app which is free to download on Amazon, Android and Apple devices. They may need help entering the details, but once theyāre in they will be able to play the game on their own.
Please ask your childās teacher if they are struggling to login.
Important: Please donāt allow siblings, friends or family to answer for them, as the programme progresses at the pace of each child. Do feel free to support your child if theyāre stuck and give them encouragement to keep trying even if it takes a number of times to complete a level.
Children should all have logged in at school and be aware of how to log in.
Little and often
In order to get the best out of NumBots, we recommend that children play regularly for short bursts at a time, aiming for 3 minutes, five times a week.
Game Types
Please let your childās teacher know if you have any questions or comments.Ā
Yesterday, yellow crews enjoyed a belated reward for their efforts during the summer term (you may recall we postponed it due to bad weather), in the form of a disco! The children had a great time and should be proud of how hard they worked at their HoWLs during the summer term to earn this reward.
It was also lovely to note that all three crews received an award for coming top of crew coins for the terms of last year. āŗļø
Well done Billy for your fantastic model making. I praise how you selected the equipment, how you measured the pieces and how you constructed it together.
