Welcome Back!

Well done Yellow for making a great start to the term!

Here is some of our learning.

Learning about the seasons

Acting out the story ‘Use your imagination.’

Responsibility

Our value for this half-term is Responsibility.

The Bible teaches that life is a gift from God and it is our responsibility to use our talents and abilities in the best way we can.

RESPONSIBILITY

In school this may be shown as: making good decisions about our own behaviour, taking responsibility for our learning, being independent and caring for others. Responsibility also includes thinking about being a good citizen and caring for our environment.

We have started off by thinking about how we can take responsibility for what we say. A follower of Jesus, called James, wrote to some people who were members of the church. He said that the tongue was like a tiny spark that could spread. We reminded ourselves that it was good to use our words to help, encourage others, and to be kind.

I’m Going to Make this an Awesome Day

Dear God,
Thank you that we are all special to you.
Thank you that you made us all different.
Please help us to look for the good in those around us.
Please help us to look beyond our circle of friends
to see those who may be on their own, lonely and needing someone to talk to.

Amen

 

Happy Half-term!

Well done Yellow class for working so hard this half-term, you have all been amazing! Have a lovely break and some well-deserved rest.

Here’s what’s coming up when we return.

English: Traditional tales

Maths: Addition and subtraction including using money

Science: Seasonal changes and states of matter/ freezing and melting

Geography: Map skills

Art/D.T: Finishing our model fighter planes/ Drawing outlines using pencil and charcoal, exploring the work of Julian Opie

Computing: Purple Mash/ E-safety

R.E: What do Christians learn from the Creation Story?/ Learning about Diwali

P.E: Dance on Mondays and Outdoor games on Fridays

P.S.H.E: Understanding how to get on with others and what to do if we fall out

Advance Warning: Children in Need Day is on Friday 13th November (details to follow)

We will be having a ‘Diwali Day’ on Thursday 19th November. For this, the children will be able to come to school in brightly coloured clothes as we learn about this festival by engaging in some exciting art and craft activities.

 

 

Tuesday 20th October 2020

Today we have combined our English and Music lessons to compose and perform our own version of ‘London’s Burning’. The children really impressed me and the performance was outstanding. Next stop, the Albert Hall!

In Art this week, we have looked at the work of Joan Miro.

Keep going everyone, you are doing really well!

Coming up this week!

In English, we will be using different versions of the rhymes ‘London’s Burning’ and ‘Row your boat’ to explore rhythms and repetition in poetry. We will rehearse and perform rhymes using percussion instruments and will also have fun writing our own rounds.

In Maths, we will work on recognising and using the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction. We will subtract numbers using the facts we already know to help us e.g. I know that 7-4 = 3 so 77- 4 must be 73.

In History, we will learn about code breaking during WW2. We will also learn about the Secret Agent Noor Inayat Khan. Thought to be Britain’s first Muslim war heroine in Europe, she was one of only 3 women to be awarded the George Cross during WW2.

Also this week, P.E on Wednesday plus Art, Computing, Science and lots more!

Advance Warning: After half term, P.E will be on Mondays and Fridays.

Remote Learning

A letter has been sent home with children today about using Teams for remote learning in the event of a Covid closure, bubble isolation or lockdown. Please look out for it and keep them safe as it contains instructions on how to log-in.

Hopefully, we will not need to return to remote learning; however, it is better to be prepared. We feel Teams will enable us to have some face to face contact with our classes during any period of remote learning.

Reception, you have not been forgotten. You will receive yours very soon too.

 

Coming up this week!

In English, we will be looking at poems that feature repetition including Wings by Pie Corbett and See me walking by Clive Webster. We will then use similar structures when planning and writing our own poems.

In Maths, we will explore adding two-digit numbers and using the formal written method for addition (adding the ones and tens in columns).

In Science, Year 2 will learn about healthy eating while Year 3 will focus on digestion.

Also this week: Harvest inspired art and craft, work on our model aeroplanes, music inspired by the season and lots more! Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Miss Pinches

Harvest

We have really missed celebrating Harvest at the church this year but are going to focus on it next week. It won’t be the same without our usual lively service! Each class is going to do something to celebrate and put on the website and Garry is sending us a special assembly that we can share.

We would like donations of tins or packets for the Bridgnorth Foodbank. These can be dropped off on Thursday 15th or Friday 16th – boxes will be put outside the entrance area. 

You might want to listen to the Harvest Samba!
