This week in Cedar Class, our big focus has been World Nursery Rhyme Week. We’ve listened to the nursery rhymes then completed lots of craft activities in the afternoons. Everybody has got really involved and produced some lovely work!

See if your children can tell you anything or recognise any of the nursery rhymes we’ve learned this week:

Twinkle Twinkle

Old MacDonald

Inch Wincy Spider

Five Currant Buns

As well as this, we’ve started a new science topic with our friends in Cherry Class; learning all about different materials.

What a week in Sycamore! We have been very busy joining in with all of the exciting events in school. We started the week off by choosing a book from our book fair and then we made multilink poppies for Remembrance Day. On Wednesday, we enjoyed celebrating World Kindness Day by writing positive notes to each other whilst enjoying a hot chocolate in the forest. Everyone has made such a super effort with their work this week - well done to all!

This week, we have been drawing self portraits using photos of ourselves and then painting them with watercolours! We have also been continuing our use of Century AI. Some children have been pushing themselves so much with it - giving it a good go and extending their learning, especially with their spelling, punctuation and grammar.

Finally, I am so proud of our effort with TT Rock Stars' 'England Rocks' competition- as a school we performed so well, and Westfield broke into the top 50 schools in the North West! Oak class also finished ranked class number 104 out of 4000 classes! A phenomenal achievement.

What a wonderful week we have had again this week in Larch Class, following on from our busy week last week.

As well as observing Remembrance Day and 'Odd Socks Day', we dressed as rock stars for England Rocks. We also got involved with the first annual Michael Rosen Day, watching a live feed of 'Going on a Bear Hunt' and 'Chocolate Cake'. A huge thank you to the parents who sent personal messages in for their children in support of Kindness Day.

In our learning this week, the children have continued discussing the book 'Leon and the Place Between' and using it to develop our writing styles through recounts and setting descriptions. In Maths, both Year 3 and 4 have moved onto multiplication and division, recalling multiplication facts and using their understanding to solve problems.

Also, to help keep the children's minds healthy too, we have continued our PE sessions with Mr Kelly-Weekes; developing our dodgeball skills, alongside some relaxing yoga. In addition to this, the children have continued their development in the pool during their swimming sessions.

All in all, another fantastic week.

We have really enjoyed book fair week in Cherry Class! We were so lucky to be able to choose a brand new book to keep and are feeling so grateful. We have begun our science topic of everyday materials by exploring different metal, wood, plastic and fabric around us. We had lots of fun with bee bots in computing too! To mark anti-bullying week, we took part in 'odd socks day'.

We have had such a fantastic week in Willow Class. We have been learning about Remembrance Day. We read the beautiful story “Where the Poppies Now Grow” and talked about the importance of poppies. The children took part in a range of Remembrance Day activities in our classroom provision and enjoyed creating their own hand print poppy. The children were so respectful during the minute’s silence. We finished our learning about Remembrance Day on Friday, by taking a walk to the Cenotaph in Runcorn.

We celebrated Positive Noticing and Kindness Day by reading lovely stories to explore what it means to be kind and how we can be kind to each other. The children enjoyed taking part in the positive noticing labels and seeing who has “Caught You Being Kind.” Everyone in Willow Class is kind and we notice this every day!

We finished our week with a fabulous day on Friday for Children in Need. Pudsey Bear came to spend the day with us in Willow Class! The children enjoyed a range of Children in Need activities and we talked about why we celebrate Children in Need.
