Diwali

12.11.20

This week we have been learning about Diwali.

We know that Diwali is the festival of light and people celebrate it in many ways.

This week we have made our own Diya lamps using salt dough, created our own Rangoli patterns and designed Mehndi.

In P.E we performed our own Bollywood Dance!

Please click on the link below to watch our performance.

Remembrance Day

11.11.20

We remembered soldiers of past and present today via a teams assembly with Karen Bradley and the rest of the school.

6.11.20

We have had a busy first week back, making Poppies for our beautiful whole school display outside our building, for Rememberance Day, please take a look when you come to school. We used potatoes to print them and then cut them out independently too. We have all been working on our Number Bonds, adding 2 numbers together especially number bonds to 5. We have also been ordering our numbers to 10 and practicing our pencil control.

In literacy some of us have been finding the initial sounds of words, others writing CVC words and some writing captions. We have all been amazing and worked really hard.  We have been discussing Bonfire Night and made some fantastic rockets for a class display.  In P.E we were transported to the jungle where we experimented in different movements as we were all suddenly Dinosaurs, stomping, running and flying around.

Home Learning

01.10.20

During homeschooling please make reference to this page on the website.

https://www.anthonybek.com/early-years-foundation-stage/

Here you will find information about our curriculum. Useful tips and online games and resources.

Below is a video showing you how to support your child with blending in phonics. Use your sound cards in your reading pack to support your child with this each day. We will upload a new sound daily for you to teach your child. They may already have this in their set. If not you can make them one at home. Remember all the sounds and rhymes are in the back of their Home School Diary. We have already taught m,a,s,t,d and i,n,p,g. It is good practice to write the sound as well as say and recognise it too. 

Our First Day in Reception

Our first morning in Reception class! We started our day with wake and shake (we used gonoodle and chose Boom Chicka Boom if you would like to try this at home). We have enjoyed using the powder paint independently and some of us have been practising writing our names! Miss Harrison and Miss Hudson are very happy to see that all the children have settled in really well and we all have big smiles on our faces!

Adanya has enjoyed making a message in a bottle and papper mache balloons. Although her mummy did confess having much more fun with it :)

Princess Skyla has been busy doing her homeschool work.

Fabulous balancing during yoga Pirate Jack. Great sums too.

So pleased Gary is still continuing to do his school work even if it does take a bit of encouragement. Keep it up Gary Well done, we love to see your smile.

Florence has turned into a handywoman. Great work Florence. I wonder how high she can bounce on the trampoline?

Very colourful under the sea pictures done by Daniel. How many colours can you see on Daniels fish?

What an amazing ship by Tiger-Rose, we are so impressed with this. Must have taken some hard work and a long time to make.

Logan has some interesting facts about Jupiter in the video below. He has also been doing dome homegrown vegetables....yummy!!

Wow Taine has been such a busy bee. Great Job.!!

Tianas writing has amazed us. I wonder who will find the message in a bottle and go on a quest to save Tiana and her Mummy?

Sponge painted boat by Aaron, Its fantastic.

Stars of the week this week are.............Daniel and Gary. Well done boys keep up the good work.

It’s cucumber time for Bolt, Sonic and Tails!

Hello everyone

Thank you again for all the lovely photos you have sent in showing us your hard work. It's lovely to see so many of you getting into our pirate theme along with all the other wonderful things you are doing. Keep up the hard work 

Our Star of The Week for this week is...

AARON!

We have chosen Aaron this week, as he is always busy keeping up with his home learning.

During our 'Pirate themed home learning' Aaron has made his own treasure map using tea bag staining, pirate hooks and been very busy completeing his work pack.

Well done Aaron, keep up your hardwork!

Love Miss Harrison, Miss Hudson, Mrs Wilkinson and Mrs Clayton

Here is a video of Bolt, Sonic and Tails eating their weekly fish flakes.

It is their favourite part of their week after bath time.

As you can see the babies are growing very quickly, but they still look tiny compared to Bolt.

I wonder if any of you could have a go at painting or drawing our pet Giant African Land Snails, or maybe even research GALS?

Here are a few ideas for you Pirates to be doing at home.

Arghhh! Shiver me timbers!!

Hello Reception!

Thank you for your photos this week, we have a new face.

Your friend Skyla has been having lots of fun at home, making pizza and doing some painting. Its great to see her beautiful smile.

Logans not so keen on doing the work booklets, but that's fine because he's doing lots of learning other ways. Its great to see him using Purple Mash. We all like to learn different ways.

Nellie has enjoyed her look, cover and write sheets for sentence writing and even did some quick math sums at snack time with her grapes.

Adanya has been a scienstist this week and experimented making her own crystals...we love the goggles Adanya.

Florence has been learning about space....did anyone see SpaceX Launch on Saturday? Miss Hudson and her children stayed up lat, got wrapped up in blankets on the garden and spotted it going over Shirebrook. Let us know if you saw it too.

Tiana didn't want to do Maths this week, so her Mummy made her a Treasure Chest and she enjoyed doing it using that. Great idea Tiana's Mum. She has also been looking a differences in homes and countries. She is able to see the differences her Mum had as a child growing up in a different country to Tiana's childhood here in England.

Taine made a obstacle challenge for him and his mum. He took 17 seconds to complete and his mum took 25. Taine made it harder by putting lava in the middle made out of blanket which his mum had to jump over. 

We have seen so may different activities this week, what a great start to the Summer Term. Maths, Literacy, Science, Understanding of the World, Creative, ICT and PE. Keep up the great work. I think us Teachers and Teaching Assistants need to look out for your adults taking our jobs.

Our Star of The Week for this week is...

JACK AND TAINE!

Both Jack and Taine have been working very hard on their home learning since the start all of this began and always send me photos and emails to tell me what they have been learning.

Jack I am so impressed with all of the learning you have doing; learning to tell the time, learning about pond life, planting, baking and looking after his neighbours. He has even been doing year one work on BBC Bitesize!

Taine you have been challenging yourself with the learning you have been doing. You have been tackling some very tricky sums and even though sometimes it can be difficult you never give up!

Keep it up boys, we are all so proud of you both!

Love Miss Harrison, Miss Hudson, Mrs Wilkinson and Mrs Clayton
