Reception Class have been reading the Colour Monster this week and have talked about different feelings and emotions. We've talked about what makes us happy and sad and the children have created their own colour monsters to show different emotions. We have also been talking about birthdays this week and learning that everyone celebrates in different ways. Some children had birthday parties in the Home Corner and made birthday cakes in the mud kitchen. We were very brave this week and visited our Year Six buddies in their classroom for the first time! We chose stories to bring with us and the buddies read them to us. We had our first PE lessons this week, where we played some ball games and started our Bike-ability lessons. Talk to me about our emotions. Words to use: it's okay to feel... anger, sad, fear, worry, happy, calm, love Tip of the week: Log in to Seesaw to see what your child is learning in class! We have been reading: The Colour Monster

In Year 1 this week the children have been learning about Palm Sunday and the theme of welcoming. They made palm leaves and we recreated Jesus’ journey into Jerusalem with lots of enthusiastic cries of Hosanna! The children have also been continuing with their English work based on the book ‘Tidy’ by Emily Gravett. The children looked at the structures of letter writing and then wrote letters to Pete the Badger to stop tidying the forest.

In Computing, as part of their unit on digital painting the children have continued to use different colours and lines as well as shapes and lines to create pictures.

This week Year 2 we have completed our maths unit on measuring. We have had lots of fun measuring using 30cm rulers and 1m sticks. We have compared measurements and objects. In English, we have been using conjunctions in our sentences to support our writing when we work towards our non-chronological reports about the Great Fire of London.

This week in Year 4 we have really enjoyed starting our new book Charlie and the chocolate factory. We have looked at some of the vocabulary we were unfamiliar with before using engaging vocabulary, expanded noun phrases and similes to describe the main character of Charlie. In Maths this week we have looked at division including division with remainders. Electricity is out new science topic this term so we have started to familiarize ourselves with some of the key vocabulary. We have discussed how we use electricity in our everyday lives and electrical safety. We designed electricity safety posters. We also looked at the 2 different ways in which electricity is powered. In our history lessons this week we have been busy looking at the Roman Army and why they were so successful, their armour and why it was so important as well as who became Roman soldiers.

Krone - Year 5
Last Friday, we had an amazing time, when we visited Ryde Academy for a Year 5 transition day. We loved the activities, including Science, Computing and PE and were very proud to have won the PE competition! We loved the fact that Ryde Academy has such a large sports hall, which enabled us to try really fun sports activities such as 'mat surfing'. As the staff at Ryde had worked so hard to give us a good time, we decided to put our Writing skills to good use this week and wrote thank-you letters. After drafting and editing these, we copied them up in our very best handwriting, ready for delivery to Mr Doyle. We have also been doing really well in our Maths learning and are now confident in multiplying fractions, as well as being able to find fractions of whole numbers. Yet again, we have enjoyed our Financial Friday learning, including showing our understanding through the creation of posters.

Yen - Year 6
This week in Yen class we studied the concept of resurrection as part of our R.E. day. We revisited the Easter story and the events of Holy Week. We discussed the importance of the cross as a symbol for Christians and the importance of the concept of the resurrection too. There were many thoughtful questions and contributions during the class discussions. We had the opportunity to share our dream school trip presentations with the class who then voted on their preferred trip. Our teachers were really impressed with the quality of our presentations and the research behind them. We had the opportunity to add our sleep survey data to our databases and use formulas to answer our questions. It has been a busy term and our teachers are proud of our hard work and resilience!
