Dear all,

Welcome back and I hope you all had a lovely Easter break. The Summer Term is always very busy so please keep an eye on the diary for important dates, including sports days and Year 6 leaver events.

In assembly last week we found out about ‘World Art Day’ and to celebrate we are running an art homework project with a chance of winning a gift voucher. All the children need to do is get creative and produce a self portrait in their own individual artistic style. Can be using pencil, paints, pens, collage, small or large!

We look forward to seeing their creations by Friday 24th April.

Take care,

Miss Pope

The children were so happy to be in school this week and ready to learn.

All of the children went up into the school hall for lunch this week and I am so proud of all of them all, for how well they handled the change in routine. They were all so independent and absolute superstars. Well done, everyone!

We have been learning all about the Life Cycle of a Frog 🐸 this week as part of our "Let's Go Outside" topic, which focuses on Growth and Change.

We were very excited to visit our school pond to see if we could find any Frogspawn but we discovered we are a little late for that this year with the Easter holidays! But Charli, our wondeful student, brought us some Tadpoles in from her pond at home! Thank you so much Charli!

We are able to watch the Life Cycle of Frog first hand, with our Tadpoles in the tank in Willow Class! 🐸 The children have been fascinated watching them and we are looking forward to observing them as they change.

In our writing, we have started to write short sentences using our phonics knowledge. For example; I can see a fox. I can see a bin. We are using capital letters, fingers spaces and a full stop at the end of our sentence.

What a successful and busy week! We've started the summer term flying. The attitude towards work in Cherry Class has been exceptional. We have started our new Pathways to Write text called The Last Wolf. We've been thinking what Little Red should be packing to take into the woods with her and writing some rules that she should follow to keep herself safe.

We have started our gymnastics unit on 'stretching and curling'. We've been curling our bodies in different ways as we balance and experimenting with some new stretches. The children have shown great appreciation of each other's work in PE and I am so proud of how they praise and encourage each other.

We have been doing computing all week and have doing all things data! We have been recording, inputting and representing data using tally charts and pictograms. We have also been answering some tricky questions about or data too!

In maths, Year 2 have been learning about different representations of multiplication (bar models, repeated addition and arrays). Year 1 have been learning about money with Miss Pope.

We can't wait for our PE sessions delivered by LFC foundation to begin next week too! Lots to look forward to in the Summer term in Cherry Class!

Welcome back to all of our families to Summer Term in Cedar Class with changeable weather included! We hope that you've all had a lovely Easter break with your children.

The children have all been really quick to settle back into routines and seem to be happy to be back at school. This week, we've included pictures to showcase some of our learning as well as how well everyone is doing with key skills which we practise daily such as sitting for carpet time and playing with our friends.

In Maths this week, we have been focussing on odd and even numbers and 'odd one out', which is a great one to practise at home with anything that comes in pairs - socks, gloves, shoes, etc.

In English, we have started looking at endangered and extinct animals as part of our overall animal topic.

Every day, our children spend time when they come into school in the morning and after lunch doing something that calms them that they enjoy. This can look completely different for each pupil - some love to draw, some like to do puzzles, some read in the reading arch, some play with small world and others like to bounce on a yoga ball! It's a perfect example of how unique each of our children are!

We have had a lovely first week back in Larch class.

In Maths, we have started our new unit on multiplication and division. We have been using concrete resources to see the relationship between the 3 times tables and the 6 times tables. We have been finding lots of time to practice recalling both times tables throughout the week.

In English, we have been looking at the book Journey. This is a wordless picture book which allows for a lot of prediciton. We have had lots of fun predicting where the girl may go on her journey as well as describing where we would go.

In Science this week, we have started our work on plants. We have been investigating what plants need to grow and survive as well as labelling the different parts of a plant.

# data[].attributes.body
For our return back to school, Oak class have been focusing on plastic pollution and its effects on marine life. We wrote a gateway task after researching how plastic is used in our everyday lives, and used highly emotive language to help put forward a poster on how we can keep our oceans safe.

In Science, we have been classifying animals and learning about vertebrates and invertebrates. We also learnt about the man who created it all, Carl Linnaeus-he really dug deep into animal classification!

Finally, our Trainee Teacher, Miss Thompson, finishes this week after spending 3 months with us. We wish her all the best for the rest of her career.

It has been a wonderful first week back in Sycamore.

The children have thoroughly enjoyed reconnecting with their friends and settling back into the routines of school life. It has been lovely to see such a positive and enthusiastic start to the term.

This week, we introduced our new class text, Journey by Aaron Becker. This beautifully illustrated picture book has already captured the children’s imaginations and has been very well received by all.

With the brighter weather arriving, the children have also enjoyed taking their PE lessons outdoors. We are looking forward to working with LFC on Tuesday, where the children will take part in a variety of team games.

We have had a wonderful first week back at afterschool club.

On Monday as the weather was lovely, we went outside and collected some dandelions to create beautiful dandelion lion pictures. A group of the children also made a game by creating characters on paper and playing it around the room in teams. It was so lovely to see them working together and being imaginative.

For our 'Tasty Tuesdays' we made cream horn pastries. The children carefully wrapped the puff pastry around shaped tinfoil horns which were then baked and filled with cream. They were delicious.

As it was also 'International moment of laughter day' we created our very own joke book with hilarious jokes.

Wednesday, we celebrated 'World art day', the children coloured in famous paintings, crafted their own works of art and completed art themed word searches.

Thursday this week we worked on our self portraits for the competition coming up. Some children used the windows to create traces and some made collages and some decorated picture frames around themselves. They look amazing.

For Fridays film night we watched 'Spellbound' and enjoyed pizza and tortilla chips. We also made paper box milkshakes, characters and made dens. A few of the children also created a wooden theme park using the large and small wooden blocks.

What a great week!
