This week, Sycamore Class have been testing out some of our new turn-taking games. We have had a great time playing Uno and Dobble, developing our social and communication skills in the process.

In English, as we near the end of our unit of work, the children have put their art skills into action to create some beautiful water colour paintings of giraffes. These will be displayed proudly with our writing work once complete.

In maths, we have been using a new scheme of work. Our learning has been linked to the relationship between addition and subtraction. We have learnt some new vocabulary through this unit, which has really helped develop our understanding!

We continue to work towards the finish line and have not taken our foot off the gas in Larch Class.

In our Writing lessons, the children have been developing their writing styles further by writing for different purposes - first person recounts and formal writing - to stretch and challenge them further. They have responded well and produced some really strong work with powerful descriptive language (recounts) and strong persuasive features (formal invitations).

In Maths, we have explored Shape and Geometry and the children have shown a good grasp of both concepts and a good understanding of parallel and perpendicular lines.

Elsewhere, the children have been learning to describe parts of the Amazon Rainforest and the animal inhabitants in Spanish using a range of adjectives, adverbials and prepositions. Additionally, we have spent some time in then Forest School this week where the children enjoyed exploring and some outdoor learning.

Thank you to those that attended the school's Summer Fayre. It was lovely to see so many people supporting the school.

A fantastic week in Oak class- Our Y6s were fantastic role models helping out at the summer Fair-thank you so much for helping us raise money!

We continued with our History which is learning about the Sikh Empire-and in particular Ranjit Singh, who forged the empire himself.

Our Pathways is continuing the book 'Sky Chasers' which has had a focus on how characters are feeling, and how we can show how they are feeling through what we write.

Finally our maths has been linked to ratio-the children have been learning through concrete resources-coloured cube everywhere!

Good luck to our Y6s who will have their transition days at high school on the 7th and 8th of July :)

The evil pea has been up to no good this week, hiding in different parts of our outside area!

Luckily we had Cedar Class children to help find the evil peas and read the words he had taken!

Our new favourite toy is the Mario Lego and we’ve done some great sharing and turn-taking while we’ve been playing with it. We’ve also been learning about healthy and unhealthy foods and sorting them into plates.

What a fantastic week we've had in Willow Class!

I am so proud of all the children for taking part in their first Sports Day. Well done to everyone!

The children enjoyed an additional PE session with Mr Kelley-Weekes, who was so impressed with their team skills and cooperation.

We have enjoyed the launch of the Summer Reading Challenge with a zoom session with Emma and Izzy from Runcorn Library. The children loved listening to their stories. Remember to sign up for the Summer Reading Challenge.

We had a fun afternoon with Cherry Class on Thursday and we enjoyed making shadow puppets with Mr Proffit.

We have some visitors in Willow Class, 10 caterpillars 🐛 They are Insect Lore and we are hoping to observe the life cycle of a butterfly as they change. We began to explore the different stages of the life cycle and we are looking forward to having our very own Butterfly Garden in Willow Class.

What a week! We finally got round to doing our sports day and all of the children had a great time. I am so proud of them all. They took part with a smile on their faces and cheered on their friends. They were all so happy with their well deserved medals.

We had some great assemblies from Mersey Gateway and Halton Libraries. These inspired the children to create bridge models and pictures. Cherry Class children have asked a lot of questions about the Summer Reading Challenge so it would be great for some of them to take part- remember it's FREE!

Still going strong this academic year, filling our brains with as much knowledge as possible in these final weeks! In geography we have been learning all about coasts and their features. We discussed big life events and changes in PSHE, with a focus on our transition to new classes and new teachers. We also enjoyed completing our writing in English.
