Another busy week in Year 1. We have enjoyed exploring number bonds in maths and we have been retelling the story, Lost and Found. The children have all worked really hard on their writing and use of finger spaces. We have also enjoyed spending time in the construction corner, making boats using blocks or lego, for the boy and the penguin to use to get back to the South Pole. We cannot wait to see what our new book will be on Monday.

This week, we looked and listened to clues linking to our new book, 'Leon and the Place Between'. There was music, fairy lights and images of the ‘Big Top’, acrobats, clowns, a white rabbit coming out of a top hat, a ringmaster, popcorn, candyfloss and a lot more! In pairs we wrote down what we could see, hear and taste. Here are some of Year 4's descriptions.
Linking to the same book, the children have started creating designs for their moving toy in D&T.
Y5 Armistice Day, by Mrs Percival
Date: 11th Nov 2020 @ 3:17pm
Today we have been learning about the tomb of the Unknown Warrior. We found out about what the tomb is, where it is and why it is there. We also looked at how Liverpool and Manchester were bombed during World War Two and discovered that a bomb landed on Ellesmere Port. We looked at a photograph of Mrs Percival's great grandfather, who was a soldier in the World War One and talked about his wartime story. At 11am, we observed a 2 minute silence.

We are enjoying our new book called , 'I'm Going to Eat this Ant' . We went on a bug hunt then wrote and drew lots of things an anteater may like to eat. We had some great ideas, like beans on toast, hot chocolate, slugs and pasta!
Year 1 Journey to the South Pole, by Miss Jones
Date: 9th Nov 2020 @ 8:06pm
What a busy day we have had in Year One!
This morning we read a little bit more of our story in English. The boy in the story decided to help the lost penguin by taking him back to the South Pole. We then talked about what it is like in the South Pole by watching a video and using google Earth. We found our that the South Pole is on the continent of Antarctica which is the coldest and windiest continent. Did you know that Antarctica is also classed as a desert because it does not rain very often?
After that, we talking about packing a suitcase for the journey. What would keep us warm? We looked inside Miss Jones' suitcase and practised reading all of the labels. We then wrote our own list of things to pack to go to the South Pole.
After lunch, we decided to make a snack to take on our journey... a jam sandwich. After making sure our hands were washed, we carefully followed the steps to make the sandwich. Then enjoyed eating it. Then we talked about if we liked it and if we would do anything differently next time.
Tomorrow we will write our own instructions to teach someone else how to make a delicious jam sandwich.
Well done Year 1!
Year 1: W/C 3.11.20, by Miss Jones
Date: 8th Nov 2020 @ 11:25am
It was so lovely seeing the Year 1 children return to school after their well deserved break over half term.
We have had another wonderful week together. The children continue to amaze me with their positive behaviour and interest in their learning.
We started the week by discussing the importance of Remembrance Day and how it links to one of our school values: respect. Everyone used watercolour paints to make a paper poppy for our class wreath. There is a photo in our gallery.
We have also enjoyed a moment of calm whilst doing some mindfulness colouring. We talked about enjoying 'me time' and how it can help us feel calm and happy.
We also enjoyed having a go at some Bonfire Night activities on Thursday, including firework printing with vibrant colours and glitter.
Have a look at our gallery to see what we have been up to.

Year 2 owl visit, by Mrs Marshall
Date: 3rd Nov 2020 @ 9:22pm
Year 2 were lucky enough to have a visit from Libby from the Feathery Folk, a bird of prey sanctuary today. She brought four feathery visitors to meet us; a little owl, a white-faced owl, a spotted eagle-owl and a barn owl. We watched in awe as they flew around and did special tricks for us and we learned lots of interesting facts 😀
Y1 - Final week of Autumn 1, by Miss Jones
Date: 1st Nov 2020 @ 6:16pm
Year 1 had a lovely last week of the half term. They have worked so hard this half term and have really earnt a restful half term break.
Things took a spooky turn in the last week of half term as we enjoyed lots of Halloween activities.
We sorted trick or treat words in phonics as well as completed a spooky trail outside, looking for tricky words.
We practised counting and recognising teen numbers using pumpkin seeds and tweezers. (Much harder than it looks!)
We used learnt about capacity using magical potion bottles and used key vocabulary to talk about their capacity (full, almost full, half full, almost empty, empty)
We made pumpkin cards and wrote messages to our friends and family.
We were also sent a letter from The Great Wizards asking for help with writing potions for his new book. The children did a great job, remembering to form their letters correctly, use finger spaces and to use their phonics for spellings.

Making our troll habitat, by Mrs Marshall
Date: 21st Oct 2020 @ 5:53pm
Year 2 had lots of fun making their troll habitats. They used lolly sticks to form their trip-trappy bridges and foraged in the woodland area to find suitable materials to create their habitats. Lots of the children said that they would like to add more detail to their habitats over half term (acorns, sticks,stones, or even make a little troll to go inside!) so if you would like to send me any pictures of this then please do 😀
Y1 - Week 6, by Miss Jones
Date: 11th Oct 2020 @ 7:05pm
Another fun week in Year One. On Monday, a mysterious, frozen block of ice appeared on our tuff tray. We enjoyed watching it melt and guessing what was inside. It was lots of ..... Arctic animals! The children are really enjoying playing with them in the Arctic small world area as well as learning about animals that live in cold habitats with Mrs Bailey.
We also had a letter from a character in our English text, Mr Forgetful, who works in the Lost and Found Office. He had mixed up and lost some of the labels for the lost animals and asked for Year One's help. We were able to match up the mixed up labels and write new ones for him. Good job Year One!

Year 1 have had another busy week. We have been practising combining words to make simple sentences and practising counting forwards and backwards. The children were also very excited to start working in their new Maths No Problem workbooks. With Miss Anders, the children have been talking about friendship and how we can be a good friend. The children were able to identify the difference between friendly and unfriendly actions.
For National Poetry Day on Thursday we enjoyed learning actions to two poems all about Autumn, 'I Hear Thunder and The Autumn Action Rhyme'.
