Getting Smart

11th June 2025Joshua Meade

Kayra and Boston have been working hard on their reading in phonics. Kira made a fantastic colour pattern on the peg board. Farhan and Eymen made equal numbers with the numicon! #LovePlover

We are looking forward to the next Young Readers event.

9th June 2025Mrs Haycock

A few weeks ago, we were visited by staff from Amazon who launched their Young Readers event with us. We listened to a great story about super heroes then designed our own super hero in small groups. We even got to dress a person from each group up as the super hero that we designed! It was great fun!

Later on, every child was lucky enough to be able to choose a book to keep. There was a huge selection to choose from and everyone seemed to enjoy their choice as they relaxed with a biscuit and quiet book reading time…

The next event is next week…I can’t wait! I love books.

Where are you Wolfy?

8th June 2025Joshua Meade

Last week we had a very special visitor from the book ‘The Great Fairytale Disaster’. We noticed wolf footprints in the classroom and saw videos of Wolfy around our playground. We have a few letters Wolf had written and the children wanted to help. They wrote kind messages to Wolf, made him food and built him a house to live in as his had been blown down! #LovePlover

Pompeii and Pebbles

5th June 2025Mrs Graves

This week we have been learning about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79AD that buried the city of Pompeii.

We read the book ‘Escape from Pompeii’ and acted out some role plays as the main characters.

We have also been learning about rocks and the rock cycle this week, which culminated in our very own ‘Rock Museum’. We made posters to describe the rocks on display and the toured round looking at the different types of rocks and their properties. Who would have thought the rubble under our feet could be so interesting!

Expert visitor

4th June 2025Amy Woods

We loved having Catharine back in from the National Literacy Trust. She shared our key text ‘The Great Nursery Rhyme Disaster’ with the children and enjoyed singing a range of rhymes. Catharine very kindly brought all the children a copy of Goldilocks and the three bears to take home as well, to share with their families.

Reading Superstars

23rd May 2025Mrs Lewis

The children in my Reading group have been working so hard with their reading fluency and comprehension and together have read over 1,250,000 words!
Today we had a fruit party to celebrate and the children had a great time.
We’re already working towards our next target of 1,500,000 and planning our next reward.
