Class 5
Preparation for the Christmas Production
admin on: Class 5
Class 5 have been so good at practising their lines and songs for the upcoming Christmas production of Peter Pan!
We will be having a dress rehearsal next week, which is a chance for everyone to perform in their costumes for the first time.
Thank you so much for helping your child get ready for the performance of Peter Pan and also in providing their costume.
On Monday morning, the stage will be going up, which is very exciting! It will be even better to practise on the stage, to get ready for our performance on Wednesday 18th December.
We will take some photos of the dress rehearsal and we will share these next time.
Hope you are all having fun getting ready for Christmas,
Dr Bamfield and Mrs Kendal
Children in Need Day - 15 November
admin on: Class 5
Thanks so much to everyone who baked brownies and buns for our Children in Need cake sale after school.
We have raised lots of money for a really good cause and hopefully you had a chance to enjoy some delicious baking!
In school, some of the children have taken up a new role as Play Leaders, helping the younger children in school by organising play activities and leading games at lunch times.
“It is fun being a play leader because I like making up games for the younger children!” laughed Lucas.
“I enjoy being a play leader because I get to be around fun little children.” announced Annabel.
“I enjoy being a play leader because I like making little children active and helping with their well being.” mentioned Millie.
“I like seeing the little children playing games and it’s really cute.” explained William.
“I like being a play leader because after each day I see the little kids smile and go back to their parents at the end of the day.” Matilda responded.
Happy Half Term! Plant a Bulb Day - 25th October 2024
admin on: Class 5
We have had a really busy and fun end to the half term with our Break the Rules Day and Plant a Bulb Day!
It was great to see the children's outfits today, including some fantastic Halloween costumes and lots of spooky tatoos, and fab face gems and hair styles!
Thank you so much for being really kind and bringing in a brilliant array of bulbs - we are all really looking forward to seeing them brighten up our school field and school playground in the spring.
We hope you all have a wonderful half term break, including a spook-tacular Halloween!
Happy birthday to Annabel today and wishing Sebastian a very happy birthday next week.
With love and best wishes,
Dr Bamfield and Mrs Kendal
Hello to Lois the rabbit!
admin on: Class 5
We had a special visitor in Class 5 today, when Lois the rabbit came to say hello!
The children were very kind and caring, and luckily Lois was very patient and calm.
We all agreed she is very cute and has incredibly soft fur which is lovely to stroke.
Earlier in the week, Class 5 had a chance to explore outdoors in the school grounds, making the most of some nice sunny weather.
Hopefully the weather will stay nice for next Friday (25th October), which is our 'Plant a Bulb Day'. We have already received a few bulbs and it would be brilliant to receive some more next week, as we'd like every child in school to have a chance to plant a bulb in the school grounds.
Thanks for all your help with this and wishing you a lovely weekend,
Mrs Kendal, Dr Bamfield and Lois! x
Imagining mysterious characters and magical islands in Class 5!
admin on: Class 5
We have had another busy and exciting week in Class 5, with a literacy event on Thursday in which we got to meet the author, Liz Flanagan.
She told us about the inspiration behind her own books, set in a fantasy world with talking animals - which in turn inspired us to create our own characters and think of a story setting on a magical island.
Matilda mentioned, “I really enjoyed English because we got to write our own stories," while William observed, "Today we created our own character, island and plot for a story, and what I loved was the island I made up.”
Meanwhile, Noah noted that his idea of an island with a dungeon got mentioned at the live event, so that everyone from the other schools got to hear about it today. "Today I wrote about my island but made it different." he concluded.
Art with Miss Monday continues to be one of the children's favourite lessons. As Sebastian stated, “I liked Art because we got to use a graphite stick and also we had the chance to draw an astronaut.”
Rosie remarked, “I liked art because it was really fun to do,” and Zevi said, “I liked Art because we drew pictures of different planets.”
Brass and Mandarin are also very popular:
Millie mentioned, “I enjoyed Mandarin because we got our Mandarin names and we got to do a colour by number.”
Noah said, “I really liked Mandarin because we learned another word.”
Flo said, “I liked Brass because we learned a new song.”
Talia commented, “I enjoyed Brass because I got a sticker from Mr Brown.”
Science, Maths and Geography were also mentioned by the children:
Blake said, “I liked Science because we talked about space and I liked writing about the planet Uranus, because it is a very long distance from the sun.”
Rosie said, “I liked Maths today because we got to solve problems.”
Matilda said, “I liked Geography because we learned all about the continents.”
