Monday, we created some story week boxes. We compiled a list of storys and took a vote from the children on which story book they would like to work together on. The children picked Charlie and the chocolate factory with some of the other children deciding to have a go at doing theirs for alone. The children did a brilliant job!

Tuesday  this week we made chocolate mug cakes with extra chocolate spread. We practiced some great measuring skills and egg cracking! We all found the cakes to be delicious!

Wednesday this week we created different crafts of the children's choice, played ping pong, used the wooden mega jenga blocks to make big structures and coloured in story book colouring sheets.

Thursday this week, we played with lego, magnetic tiles and had chocolate spread on crumpets for snack - yum!

Film Friday we wanted to watch a film based on a book to end our story week in school so we watched 'The Lorax'. The children really enjoyed this film and enjoyed pizza whilst we watched! We also made friendship cards and bracelets for our friends as Saturday was 'National Send A Card To A Friend Day'. We also visited the 'Book and Bake sale' in school and all of the children were invited to pick a treat and a book.

As we approach the end of the half term, Sycamore Class have enjoyed another fantastic week.

Looking back over the past few weeks, it has been wonderful to see the children making steady progress with their language skills. We have focused on turn-taking games and developing co-operative social skills, and the children have engaged enthusiastically—learning while having great fun along the way.

In maths, a special mention goes to our work on times tables. The children have shown excellent engagement and determination in improving their recall, particularly through playing TT Rock Stars. Well done, everyone!

This week we had a visit from the health team on how to look after our teeth! It was fantastic learning how to look after ourselves and having a go at brushing giant teeth.

We have had assessments to complete this week, but we have still managed to push ourselves in our writing-we have been focusing on using fronted adverbials, expanded noun phrases and relative clauses to really knit our writing together.

We have started computing this week, and have been creating our own videos that could go onto youtube! We have learned about the various camera angles that we use-we will be video maestros before you know it!

# data[].attributes.body
We have been busy completing assessments in Larch class this week. The children have all worked hard in each of these.

In English, we have been planning our own stories from the point of view of Tranio from our book Escape from Pompeii. We are looking forward to writing these stories next week.

In the afternoons, we have been doing computing. We have been using Scratch to code different movements including in how to move a sprite around a maze. We also looked at debugging different codes to ensure that they did what we were expecting them to do.

Also, this week was storytelling week. We have enjoyed all the teachers coming to our class and reading a different story every day.

# data[].attributes.body
This week's Book of the Week has been chosen by Miss Wright.

Miss Wright recommended Don't Call Me Grumpycorn by Sarah McIntyre. It is a story about friendship and tolerance. The illustrations are lovely and bright and the story is funny, as it recognises that sometimes we can all be Grumpycorns when things aren’t quite going our way!

Also, it is a reminder that we might think we always want to be with people who are just like us, but it’s good to remember that our best friends are the ones that appreciate our differences too.

We've had a fun week with messy play in Cedar Class, alongside all of our usual activities.

It has been lovely to see the children engaging in different types of sensory play according to their own preferences so we thought it would be nice to share some off what this means in Cedar Class. Some of our children are true jigsaw champions with 24 pieces. We always welcome any 36 piece jigsaws that anyone may no longer have use for.

We have almost finished our 'Dragon Machine' story and this week we created some of our own dragons using AI, which will help to develop our writing next week.

In our last week of this half term, we will be completing the story, learning about wholes in Maths, as well as comparing amounts and looking at the key vocabulary whole, all and more.

Another busy week in Willow Class 😊

We had a visit from the Dental Team and learnt all about the importance of good oral hygiene. The children enjoyed brushing the monkey's teeth and the giant teeth! 🪥

In Maths we have been focusing on more than and fewer than and looking at equal and not equal.

We have continued to developed our early reading skills in phonics, by reading Green words using Fred Talk and reading words on our magnetic Blending Boards.

The children enjoyed writing shopping lists 🛒 and enjoyed lots of activities in the writing area. Writing CVC words using the sound mats has been a firm favourite!

We enjoyed National Storytelling Week with a different teacher reading us a story every day. We do love our stories in Willow Class!
