Homework and spellings for half term.

    

 

These spellings are some of the high frequency words, for KS1, that the children need to use accurately when writing. Please practise with your child so that they can use them with confidence. We will have a spelling test on the Thursday, as we return from half term, and will randomly choose some of these words.

Here are some examples of the strategy we have been using in class this week to help the children to add up. Please encourage your children to use this method and show the steps they have taken to get to the answer.

Before half term the children presented a Bible Assembly on Justice. They spoke confidently and clearly to the whole school, with many teachers commenting on how well they had done. Thank you for your support in helping them to learn their lines and well done to all the children.

Infant Christmas party.

 School Games Event.

 

Whale and Dolphin classes took part in a football tournament recently; where they played each other within their houses. They had lots of fun and conducted themselves in a sportsman-like manner. They cheered and celebrated each other's successes and everyone took part.

It was a closely fought tournament but the eventual winners were:

Burrell girls and Landon boys.

Very well done to everyone.

Termly Overview 2nd half of Autumn Term 2015

Our first full day in foundation!

We've had a wonderful start to the term in Whale class. Here is a peek at some of the activities the children have been enjoying.

Whale Class Charter

 

We are gentle and kind.

We are good at listening to each other.

We use quiet voices in the classroom.

We walk through the class and corridors.

We sit nicely at carpet time (hands in our laps).

We always try our best!

 

The Whale class had a discussion about what would make a happy learning environment.   Many ideas were shared and these were put into positive phrases to create our Class Charter.
