Miss Wright's recommendation is Monty the Mantee. Following on from my Kindness Assembly, I chose a book which celebrate kindness.

Monty the Manatee is a charming, uplifting tale which explores themes of friendship and emphasises the importance of being kind.

Meet Monty. He is a big creature with an even bigger heart.

Monty's nervous because it's his first day at Sea School. He tries to make new friends but the other sea creatures think he's a bit slow and strange....so they're mean to him and call him names!

When a dangerous predator invades the classroom and threatens to eat them all for his supper, Monty comes up with a plan.

Is he brave or clever enough to save them all? The other creatures don't think he is.

We’ve had another fantastic week in Sycamore Class!

Our Christmas performance preparations are well underway, and the children are doing a wonderful job learning their songs.

In our wider curriculum lessons, Year 3 and 4 have been exploring Antarctica, discovering the incredible animals that inhabit this icy continent and learning about the famous explorer Ernest Shackleton.

Meanwhile, Year 5 and 6 have been diving into their geography studies, focusing on developing their knowledge of the Alps.

Well done to all our pupils for their enthusiasm and hard work this week!

A busy full week here with Oak class!

Our Year 6s had a great time in London-they came back with once in a lifetime experiences!

Our writing has focused heavily and descriptions of atmosphere, characters and settings in preparation for writing our own gory myth based on Beowulf.

Our geography has been comparing the Alps to Runcorn-they are incredibly contrasting locations!

Finally, in maths we have continued our work on negative numbers-we explored how what sea level is and how we can solve problems with it involving negative numbers.

This week in Larch class, we have continued our writing based on our book Nen and the Lonely Fisherman. We have been improving our writing by adding conjunctions when writing about Nen and Ernest and when writing instructions for how we can protect the ocean.

In maths this week, we have finished our place value topic and started our new topic measuring mass and capacity. We have been discussing when to use grams and when to use kilograms.

In the afternoons this week, we have been doing RE. We have been looking at Islam and the Five Pillars of Islam. We have been learning about the things that Muslims need to do to be close to Allah including praying and fasting.

In PE, we completed a carousel of activities to show off the skills that we have learnt since the start of the year. We did rolls, practiced balancing and badminton.

As the seasons change from Autumn to Winter, we’ve been finishing our work on Autumn with leaf printing and making fireworks, just like Plop saw in our story.

We’ve used language such popping, banging, colourful, whizz to help describe the fireworks.

We’ve been working on sorting and ordering numbers and letters as well as taikwondo for some of our pupils.

We’ve had a special week in Cherry Class! The children have been practising in the hall for our nativity 🎄 we can’t wait for you all to come and see it!

The children have loved our new playground equipment at break and lunchtimes. It has given our play even more purpose and we’ve had so much fun already 🙌

Y2 maths group have been focusing on quick recall of addition and subtraction facts within 10, doubling and recognising near doubles to speed up our arithmetic skills 🧮

Some wonderful descriptive writing has been produced in our Pathways to Write lessons where we have been describing and comparing the morning and night sky 🌌 Whilst also still absorbing even more interesting facts about owls through our whole class text 🦉

Another busy week in Willow Class and we are into the Christmas spirit (already!) with learning our songs for our Christmas Nativity performance and Carols Around the Tree 🎄

The children have been working so hard on developing their early writing and reading skills in our daily phonics sessions and writing carousel activities. We also do these on a large scale in our outside classroom, to develop strength in our upper body and arms, which will help us with our writing.

In Maths, we have been looking at matching, objects that are the same and spotting patterns. We have been looking at numbers 1, 2, and 3 with the help from our Numberblocks friends. The children have been exploring these numbers, and looking at their representation.

In our "Let's Celebrate" theme, we have been talking about what a celebration is and looking at different celebrations.

To finish our week, we all had a lovely time decorating our class Christmas tree ready for the beginning of December 🎄🎅🏼🎄

Free School Meals – Don’t Miss Out! 🍴

Did you know ALL children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 are entitled to a free school meal under the Universal Infant scheme?

✅ But if you receive qualifying benefits, it’s still really important that you register. Why?

Your child may miss out on supermarket meal vouchers if you’re not registered.

The school receives extra funding (Pupil Premium) to support your child’s education – money that makes a real difference!
For children in Years 3 and above, free school meals are not automatic. They are only available if you receive certain benefits (see link below for details).

💻 Please take a few minutes to apply online – even if your child already gets a free meal in infants. It helps both your family and our school community.

👉 Apply here: https://www3.halton.gov.uk/Pages/EducationandFamilies/Schools/FreeSchoolMeals.aspx

Thank you for helping us support your child’s education. 💜
