1/7

This week in NurseryClass we have beenlearning about differentfeelings and emotions,focusing on how wefeel and react when weare angry and sad. Wedid some 'angrypainting' and made

some brilliant pictures(along with a lot ofmess!!)


2/7

This week our theme in Reception Class was 'Space' and it went down anabsolute storm! We were very curious to learn all about the Solar System andwhat's out there and used this funny mnemonic to learn the names for theplanets 'My Very Excellent Mum Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas!'

However, upon research we found that Pluto is no longer a proper planet as it'stoo small, but is now called a 'dwarf planet'. We've had so much fun role-playingin our spaceship...check out the cool control panel which we made together. Wegave it tons of buttons and levers just like a real one!


3/7

This week, in Year 1, we have been focusing on capital letters and using edin ourspellings. We learnt some riddles and needed to come up with our own actionsand acting to help us learn them off by heart. We looked at alliteration and havestarted writing our own riddles as a class.


4/7

In Year 2 3, we looked at forces in science the comic strip says it all!


5/7

This week, the focus was forchildren to be more

independent and responsiblewhen moving around the school

and these children certainlyworked on that! It can be

distracting to have noise in the

corridors when others aretrying to concentrate, and the

children have been morethoughtful of this lately. Thanks

to you all!

Next weeks focus is to workhard to complete tasks to the

best of their ability. Lets see

who does well

The Musician of the Week goes

to Chloe in Reception Class.Paul was very impressed withher vocabulary and explanation

of the difference between 'beat'

and 'rhythm'. Her singing voiceis also progressing beautifully;

she did a great job sticking tothe main vocal of 'Help' by The

Beatles, whilst also listening tothe backing harmonies.

The Artist of theWeek goes to Misha

in Year 1. The

design of his alienand the finished

product is fantastic.He put lots of effort

and care into thispiece.
