A great week back for Willow Class and straight into our new theme for this half term "Amazing Animals."

The children have enjoyed playing with our new Amazing Animal enhanced provision. This has included a range of small world animal figures; sea creatures, farm animals, mini beast and wild animals.

Our focused story has been Julia Donaldson's "What the Ladybird Heard." The children have loved this story this week! Joining in with the animal noises and repeated retains in the book. We have been drawing and writing our favourite characters from the story.

We also have a farm small world set up and the children have been acting out and retelling the story.

Drawing Club is our new approach to writing in Reception and this week we have been drawing and writing about the characters and setting from our story "What the Ladybird Heard."

The children really enjoyed our Cricket session with Sam and are looking forward to learning more skills 🏏

What a wonderful week! We have kicked off this half term with an amazing attitude towards our new learning.

We found a mysterious bag on our playground and have been generating questions about it ever since 💼 how suspicious! We even took it around school to other classes to discuss the things inside and see if anyone has any more clues for us 🔍

On Monday we had a webinar with author and illustrator Olaf Falafel where he read some of his new book and did a draw along with us! 📖 ✍️ 👩‍🎨

We had our new cricket coach in called Sam and had a wonderful time in our first session cricket 🏏

With only 4 weeks left in this half term, it's going to be a jam-packed few weeks!

This week, some of our pupils have begun cricket skills sessions with Cherry Class and did amazingly well. Our other pupils have been practising their climbing and balancing skills on our outdoor equipment and throwing and catching bean bags through sensory circuits at the same time as balancing!

We have been focusing on 'wholes' and 'parts' in Maths looking at pizzas and fruit and breaking our breadsticks into parts - have a practice at home with your child!

Our story for this half term is called 'Beegu' and is all about a little alien who lands on Earth and feels lost and alone. I am sure that the children will love it! It is also World Book Day on Thursday so we can't wait to see your costumes or pjs!

This week we will all be tasting, smelling and feeling some different foods (vegetables and fruits in Cedar) so please ensure we know of any allergies. Photos will be sent out on Tapestry.

This week's book has been chosen by Mr Parker.

'The Cafe at the Edge of the Woods' is a story about someone who opens a cafe but struggles to get customers through the door. Finally, an ogre appears but instead of eating fine cuisine, this ogre has a disgusting appetite instead....

I love the vocabulary used in this, and the general silliness throughout-also the illustrations are absolutely beautiful, giving an unusual appearance to the characters.

# data[].attributes.body
We started off the first week back with an online webinar with author Olaf Falafel. We listened to him talking about his new book and we enjoyed taking part in a draw along to create one of the characters.

In English, we have been looking at our new book ‘Wisp: A Story of Hope’. We have been using expanded noun phrases and conjunctions to describe our dream homes and explain why we added different items and rooms.

In maths, we have been using the column method to add and subtract 4 digit numbers. The children have used their prior learning of adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers to help them.

In the afternoons this week, we have been doing RE. We have been focusing on the quote ‘Love your neighbour’. We have discussed who Jesus meant by ‘your neighbour’ and looked at parables where Jesus taught Christians to love everyone as you wanted to be treated.

We also started our cricket lessons this week. We practised throwing and catching both individually and with a partner - we learnt the perfect catching position.

Great first week back for Oak class! We started off with some great drawing with a live lesson with Olaf Falafel (the children's comic book author) and learnt how to draw the 'Spewnicorn' character from his recent comic book.

We have started our new guided reading book, 'Exploring Space' which is telling us all about the International Space Station (the ISS) and our new Pathways to Write text-a poem called 'The day war came'.

Finally, our RE has been learning about Lent and then the Easter story (through the medium of Lego) and then why Good Friday is known as Good Friday.

It’s been a fantastic first week back in Sycamore!

The children have returned with brilliant enthusiasm, diving straight back into their learning and embracing every opportunity with positivity and focus.

In English, we have begun exploring our new class text, Wisp. This beautifully written story introduces the theme of refugees in an age-appropriate and sensitive way, exploring both hope and hardship. The children have already impressed us with their thoughtful predictions, using clues from the front cover to infer what the story might reveal.

We’re also looking ahead to an exciting and busy week! We have two dedicated days for our DT projects, as well as celebrations for World Book Day and Science Week. There’s lots to look forward to, and we can’t wait to see the children’s creativity and curiosity shine.

Monday, we started off our week creating beautiful Chinese folded dragons that the children added extra decorations too to celebrate 'Chinese New Year'. They turned out amazing!

Tuesday, we baked delicious cinnamon swirls and as the weather is finally starting to take a turn for the better we got out and played on the astro turf. We are really looking forward to doing this more.

Wednesday, we got out all of our boxes and recyclables and did some junk modelling and crafting. The children really love being creative with this activity.

Thursday, we got the ball out and played football in the hall and made some folded paper fortune tellers.

Friday, we celebrated 'National Pokémon day! We had pokemon hunt around the hall using foam balls and pictures up high that children had to hit with their 'pokeballs' to mark off which one they had collected. We also watched the pokemon movie. As we had all the blankets and cushions out, the children also created their own little spaces and pretend played games of school.
