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 computing, year 2 are completing their learning using Scratch Junior, and we have been creating quizzes, thinking about the backgrounds, sprites, questions and algorithms. In art, we have been using watercolours to create a picture using the ideas and style of Henri Rousseau. Year 2 were given the choice of portrait or landscape and to think about the nature and scene, as well as animals in their paintings. In Geography, we have been learning about the animals and their habitats within the Arctic circle. Learning about why and how these animals have adapted to their habitat. In PSHE we learnt about our body, learning about the organs and the intestines and what their role is. In Science, we have been observing our sunflower and bean plants and we are intrigued by the beans, as we can see the roots and inside some of the beans. In English we have been recapping and learning about punctuation and also how to use time conjunctions to start sentences when writing instructions. We have begun making seed packets to support our final piece of writing. Today we have finished the week with Financial Friday, where we have continued learning about the adventures of Milo.

In our last week of Year 3 we have made it happen by designing and making our purses or wallets using our cutting and sewing skills. We finished writing our instructions to operate a pie making machine and added a diagram. In Maths, we have been learning about different types of lines. These included parallel, horizontal, vertical and perpendicular. We then used these to help us understand what a right angle was. We applied all this new learning to drawing 2D shapes.

Euro - Year 4
Another busy week this week in Year 4. In English we have been looking at the different language techniques to engage the reader. The children have spent time working on similes, alliteration, expanded noun phrases and personification to help them with their writing of describing the setting of the place between in our book Leon and the place between. Understanding and recognising hundredths as fractions and decimals and dividing 1 and 2 digit numbers by 100 has been our focus in Maths this week. We have enjoyed our Geography lessons this week where we have been looking at the different types of landmarks tourists visit in London and the Isle of Wight and we have also looked at the different types of transport. We enjoyed learning about the London underground and creating journeys to different landmarks using the London underground as our transport. In Art this week we have been making animals out of recyclable materials as part of our junk modelling unit. Friday saw us working on our financial Friday curriculum with the topic this week How can we look after our money. We discussed why we save and what savings accounts at banks are. We also discussed the advantages and disadvantages of saving and borrowing money and also looked at what interest is.

Krone - Year 5
Children have worked hard this week and completed their final write for 'The Island', which is in the form of a dialogue, showing the way in which the Islanders respond to a stranger arriving in their midst. Lots of thoughtful discussion work has built up to this writing, with children thinking about what the benefits of such an arrival may be, as well as why individuals may feel threatened. Our dialogues are designed to be performed and to get the audience thinking about how we respond to those who are different from ourselves. Children have worked hard to think about how to manipulate their audience's feelings, as well as how to correctly use the features of direct speech, such as inverted commas, commas to separate the speech from the speaker and new speaker, new line. In our Wednesday sailing session, children had an exciting time, riding in the rib to be taken out to the mermaid sailing boats, which they sailed in with the instructors. For many of the children, being in the rib was a new experience, which they absolutely loved! In Science, children worked hard to create careful scatter graphs to present a set of results relating to an investigation on friction. They realised that for a scatter graph, we must label the lines, not the squares and that, after plotting our data, we can look to see if there is a line of best fit, showing a trend in the data we have collected. When we think about all of the skills we have tackled this week, it is no wonder we are all feeling ready for our half term holiday!

Yen - Year 6
This week in Yen class we have been rehearsing our readings and songs for the leavers assembly. Mrs Holloway worked her leavers assembly magic and we were really pleased with the result. On Tuesday we spent the day on the beach at Puckpool as part of our end of year reward. We spent some time making beach art inspired by the sculptor Andy Goldsworthy. Some of us played cricket and football; Mrs Newton and Miss Bradford enjoyed rescuing the balls from the sea. We finished our beach visit with an ice-cream and a gentle stroll back to school. Our teachers have enjoyed spending these last few days thinking about the future and enjoying time together with our buddies.
