Demonstrating the character trait courage!

These superstars have all demonstrated courage this week. Some children have been courageous and stood at the front of the class to show their working out to some of our tricky maths questions, some children have shown courage and took on the lead role in our arithmetic coaching lesson and one child was very courageous and used his voice to remind his friends they were making the wrong choices.

We Care Wednesday

Today, we checked in by saying something we love doing with our families. Lots of people said playing is their favourite thing to do. Others said ” going on holiday” and “going to the park” and “watching Bluey”. It was so great to be in a crew circle and have every child speak and listen to eachother. We really are learning what Crew is!

We then had a game of Charades. It was funny, not being able to speak but helping people understand us. We guessed, ‘sleeping’, ‘baking’, ‘blowing out a candle’, ‘jumping’ and a number of animals. We were brilliant at it and best of all, we had fun together.

The children said they might play it home with their families.

Mark Making

F1 have been exploring chalk and paint in different way today to create patterns. We used a variety of different tools such as cotton buds, brushes, toothbrushes and sponges. We laid on our tummies whilst doing this to work our stomach muscles, and practise our gross motor skills at the same time.

Matilda Club

In the Spring and Summer term, we would like to hold a ‘Matilda’ drama club.  This will be open to all of Key Stage Two (Years 3, 4, 5 & 6) and held after school on a Thursday. The club will consist of a range of musical theatre skills such as; singing, dancing and acting, with the end goal of putting together a production of Matilda the musical.

If your child is interested in a place in this club, please return the letter given out by your class teacher before Friday 10th October.

Composition of Number

In maths, we have already learned to subitise. That means we don’t need to count objects and pictures up to three. We can just say what we see. Now, we are looking at what four is. We made four with one and one and one and one. We explored what else it can be made of. Some of us made it with two and two, three and one, one and three or a tall tower, or four in a row. Sooo many ways of making four! It’s so exciting that we have so many more numbers to explore together this year!

Ping Pong Pete

Yesterday, Year 5 had great fun playing Ping Pong with Ping Pong Pete! The children were full of energy and enthusiasm as they got stuck into the game, and it was wonderful to see how quickly they picked up the rhythm and the new skills.

Everyone really impressed me with how well they listened to each other. They worked hard on taking turns and waiting patiently, which made the activities run smoothly and kept it fun for everyone. There was lots of cheering, encouragement, and laughter as they practised new skills — and they soon showed they were pretty good at it too!

Playing Ping Pong with Pete gave the children the chance to practise important skills like coordination, timing, and teamwork. It was also a fantastic way to build confidence, as each child had the chance to step forward and join in.

Thank you Pete and well done, Year 5 — you showed great focus, cooperation, and enjoyment. I can’t wait to see you developing even more new skills as the term goes on!
