Good afternoon all!
We've had a wonderful week this week! The children completed some fabulous water colour paintings on Monday; practising their brush strokes and techniques further. I have attached some photos of their work for you to enjoy. I would love to put on a photo of every single child's work, but I think that might be a little tricky!!
The children are thoroughly enjoying their fabulous golf lessons with Rochelle Morris; we're all learning some great skills! Next week we will be outdoors so do remember your winter woollies!!
This afternoon we have had great fun using practical resources to recreate the digestive process from the mouth, right through to the final destination!!! The children thoroughly enjoyed having a go themselves- great fun and rather noisy, but super learning!
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend and a well-earned rest.
We'll look forwards to seeing you all bright and early Monday morning!
Love from,

Good afternoon everyone! Happy New Year!
Before I tell you all about our first week back, can I say an enormous thank you for all the gorgeous Christmas cards and wonderful gifts you gave Miss Hewitt and myself at the end of term. You totally spoilt us both and really shouldn't. We both absolutely lovely teaching your children and really don't expect any gifts at all; you are so kind, thank you so very much.
This week the children have been absolutely amazing as always and have worked incredibly hard. I can't believe how much marking I have given myself!!!
We have been working hard on accurately punctuating speech and we have been so impressed with how well the children have been applying this to their writing. It will be very useful as the children begin to write about 'The Secret Garden'! Mary and Dickon certainly have many conversations!
In maths, we have been concentrating on 'time'; practising reading the time to the nearest 5 mins and then to the nearest minute on analogue clocks. We've looked at digital clocks too; converting analogue to digital and vice versa. Today we have started looking at converting 12 hour clocks to 24 hours clocks too. We'll be focusing on this next week so any practise would be good!
The children thoroughly enjoyed their first golf lesson with our professional golf coach this week. Rochelle Morris, a very successful professional golfer, will be teaching golf lessons over the next 6 weeks; very exciting!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!
See you on Monday,

Good afternoon everyone!
Wow! One week to go until Christmas; where has it gone?
We have been so busy this week; the children have been working really hard on their NFER tests. The purpose of these tests is simply to assess progress in maths, reading, spelling and grammar. Class 4 have worked incredibly hard and are making lovely progress; Miss Hewitt and I are so proud of them.
The children have thoroughly enjoyed lots of rehearsals this week too; we're all working so hard and really hope you enjoy our performance on Tuesday.
Today the children were treated to a wonderful pantomime performed by M and M Theatrical Productions. Just 4 cast members created a wonderful show; re-enacting the famous 'A Christmas Carol'. They loved every single minute; what a super start to the Christmas season!
Please practise your lines a little more everyone and have a look at the song words that need a little more rehearsing too!
See you Monday Class 4!

Good afternoon everyone!
Only 2 weeks to go until we all break up for the Christmas holidays; the children are beginning to get very excited too! They have been working incredibly hard on our Christmas performance and are thoroughly enjoying all our practises. They're working hard to learn their lines; we have been so impressed with their enthusiasm and success in learning both their lines and the many songs we have been preparing for you! They thoroughly enjoyed entertaining the coach driver and swimming staff as they continued practising before swimming today!
We can't wait to show you all; although we do still need a few more practises!! The children have been asking about costumes today; we will let you all know on Monday what you'll need to provide. Please don't spend money buying costumes though as we do have quite a few in school; they are currently all down in KS1 at the moment as they prepare for their performance on Monday, so we will be more informed about what is available then.
Have a wonderful weekend and please do keep going with those scripts everyone. I've suggested the children have scripts until Wednesday but then need to be able to perform without them for the rest of next week!! No pressure at all!!!!
See you all Monday

Good afternoon everyone!
Gosh, Friday again! Where does the week go?
The children continue to work extremely hard and are an absolute joy to work with. They are thoroughly enjoying our 'Animals and Humans' topic and are loving the cross-curricular learning. The have been completing their animal art and have created fabulous health education posters surrounding dental hygiene. Next week we are looking forwards to creating interesting models of the digestive system!
In literacy. the children have been completing their playscripts for a scene in 'The Dancing Bear'. We have been so impressed with their work; they have really taken so well to script writing!
The children are working hard to practise their songs and role play for the Christmas performance; even in the forest!! They can't wait to perform for you all!
They're loving the handball sessions at the moment and becoming quite competitive too! The children were all amazing at swimming this morning and thoroughly enjoyed their lesson. Some of the children have been awarded with Personal Survival certificates; an amazing achievement and very well deserved. The whole class are working so hard and making some wonderful progress.
Have a super weekend and see you all on Monday!
