Happy New Year and welcome back to school!

We have had a different start to our new year in Willow Class but the children have handled the change in classroom and routine extremely well and we are so proud of them.

The children were so happy to be back in school and we started our week with the beginning of our new topic "Real Life Superheroes." We are looking forward to exploring the topic further, when we are back in class.

We have enjoyed lots of mark making and early writing activities this week and writing our names.

In Maths we have been using our eyes and subitising. The chidlren have been using their "fast eyes" to say whether we had 3 dots, more than three or fewer than.

Well done to everyone for a great first week back!

New year, same amazing group of children 🌟 They have come back to school with an amazing attitude. They have all missed each other and have started the year in fine form by working together to improve on all areas.

We had a great workshop called ‘Milk and Mammals’ where we learned all about baby animals and their parents. We discussed how they are fed in the wild 🐑 🐖 🦒 🐳

We began our gymnastics unit and the children’s attitude towards their learning has been excellent. We have a few keen gymnasts who loved to demonstrate and all children showed enthusiasm and confidence in our first session 🤸‍♀️

We enjoyed starting our new class text The Dragon Machine in Pathways to Write and how it links to other texts that we are reading or have read. We would love to see more dragon books that you have at home- feel free to bring them in to share at story time 🐉 📖

Cedar Class pupils have settled back in so well to our very chilly new year at Westfield. We have had lots of sensory input with new Sensory Circuits, time in the sensory room and water play which helps develop children's regulation and readiness for learning.

We have been doing some Science this week, all about materials and grouping different objects into the materials that they are made from and we will next be exploring which ones are waterproof and which ones are absorbent.

As always, during the first few days back, we have practised getting back into our routines such as lunchtimes and carpet time and the children have been absolutely amazing at doing this! Possibly even their best yet!

This half term, our stories will all be about dragons so watch this space for details of the books we are reading.

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. 💜

Happy New Year!

We have had a busy, fun first week back in larch class!

On Tuesday, we started our swimming lessons. The children all tried really hard in the water and were respectful throughout and safe walking to and from the bus in the snow. We are all excited for our swimming lesson next week.

We also had an exciting lesson with a visitor on Wednesday. We did a session with them about mammals and milk. We had lots of fun describing different mammals, naming their young and discussing how female mammals can produce milk to feed their babies when they are born.

In science this week, we have been learning about forces and friction. We have had lots of fun testing different materials to see which had the most friction. We made ramps out of different materials and tested how far objects would travel.

A great first week back for Oak class! We have started our 2 new Pathways books-Odd and the Frost Giants is our guided reading text for this half term and Kai and the Monkey King is our Pathways to write book for this term. The children have already enjoyed the parts we have read so far!

We are continuing our multiplication in maths, moving onto multiplying by a 3-digit number. Science has been a focus for this week, filled with experiments linking to hardness of materials and transparency.

See you next week!

Welcome back!

We have had a fantastic first week back in Sycamore, despite some challenging weather conditions. It has been wonderful to see how quickly the children have settled back into school life.

In English, we have begun reading our new class text, The Dragon Machine. This exciting story follows a little boy called George who encounters some cheeky dragons. The children are already enjoying the book, and we can’t wait to discover what the dragons get up to next!

In our wider curriculum lessons, all pupils have been busy with science learning this week. Year 3/4 have started exploring forces and magnets, while Year 5/6 have been learning about changes in materials.
