1M have been doing charanga during this half term with Mr Schofield. They have been exploring different musical instruments, how to make music and beats with their body parts and creating different rhythms. #LovePlover
Making Music

Reading and Homework in Year 1 and 2
This week the percentage of children who have recorded their reading at home is quite low.
| Week 3 | This Week |
| Crew Bubb | 20% |
| Crew Carter | 54% |
| Crew Meade | 53% |
| Crew Jobber | 40% |
| Crew Lewis | 12% |
| Crew Pickering | 12% |
To ensure the children continue to work hard and get smart, we have started a little competition between the crews.
Each FRIDAY the children will bring home a homework sheet. This will have a space to record their reading on and some maths and spelling homework.
The children will have until the following THURSDAY to complete the homework and return to their crew leader.
This will replace the reading logs.
The children that complete their home learning, will earn points towards a treat at the end of the term. But they can only earn points if they return their homework! Children will be able to complete this at school as well if needed, during a lunchtime club.
We understand that it is a whole family effort, so we will also be running a raffle for a parent prize. Each time a homework sheet is returned we will enter into a small prize draw.
Le Francais
We are Musicians!
We have had our first expert visitors who taught us about some musical instruments and how they work. We then learnt how we can use our body and voices as our own instruments to make music. What do you think?
KS1 Poem of the week
Each week as part of our Reading Crew, the children are going to be learning to perform and recite poetry. We decided to start with a traditional funny poem.
Have a go at reading with us!
On the Ning Nang Nong
Where the Cows go Bong!
and the monkeys all say BOO!
There’s a Nong Nang Ning
Where the trees go Ping!
And the tea pots jibber jabber joo.
On the Nong Ning Nang
All the mice go Clang
And you just can’t catch ’em when they do!
So it’s Ning Nang Nong
Cows go Bong!
Nong Nang Ning
Trees go ping
Nong Ning Nang
The mice go Clang
What a noisy place to belong I
s the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

Stan and Mabel
We read a new story called ‘Stan and Mabel’. After that, we made a big story map to help us recall the story. In the story, we met lots of animals who play instruments. They go all the way to Italy to play at La Scala opera house. In our learning labs, the children sorted instruments into types, made their own story maps and constructed a bridge for the animals to cross.
Reading Book Bag Reminder

Just a reminder, can all KS1 children bring know their reading records and book balso today please. So we can change reading books and send home their new phonics QR code.

Amazing Scientists!
2LP have done awesome work as Scientists. They have started to think about the properties of different materials and used different criteria to sort them. We will now explore whether materials are bendy, stretchy or squashable!
Reading Records and New Books
KS1 Crew,
Please could we ask that children bring their reading logs and book bags in on a Thursday.
We will be checking all children’s reading records! We will be giving rewards out to children who are reading the most at home, whether that be their shared reader QR code, phonics book or a reading for pleasure book!
Reading bags and books will then be sent home again on a Friday.
Thank you for your continued support!
We are artists
The children started to immersed our classroom today after learning about our guiding question – what happens within the castle walls?
They have drawn some super dragons and designed some personal coat of arms!
