The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.” B.B. King Friday 2nd July 2021
What a super week of learning we have had. The children have all been so enthusiastic and ready to learn. This week in Maths we have been looking at angles and shape. The children have had lots of fun finding acute and obtuse angles, spotting symmetry and looking for parallel lines. Can you think of 4 letters that have a horizontal and a vertical line of symmetry? We have continued to delve into the poem of the Spider and the Fly. This week we have been crime scene investigators and have interrogated Mr. Spider about Miss. Fly’s disappearance and suspected murder. What fun we have had thinking of the questions to ask Mr. Spider and then writing our police reports. We have looked continued to think about how to be a good Christian in RE. In Science the children have continued to investigate magnets. We have been thinking more about the different relationships that we have and how we should behave towards others in RHE. Lots of fun learning about Claudius in history this week—he even visited and wanted everyone to help him decide whether to leave Rome and invade Britain.
Let’s Celebrate:
This week we celebrate Harvey and Rosa (again) who have reached their 100% reading target this week. Well done children, I have reset your targets and I know that you are all going to keep on trying so that you can try to get there again before we break up for summer.
This week we our certificates have been awarded to Molly-Ann and Leon.
Well done also to Leon who receives a Focused Cooper Crab certificate for being so much more focused with his learning this week. You have really tried to concentrate on what other people are saying this week Leon and that has had a big impact upon your work. Make sure that you keep this up and you will be amazed at what you can achieve. Well done and keep up the good work. Well done also to Molly-Ann who receives a Lizzie Ladybird because she is really trying hard to keep improving with all of her work. You are getting on so enthusiastically and really trying hard to get better all the time. Keep up the good work Molly-Ann.
This week Molly-Ann gets Jacqui’s Marvellous Manners certificate - Wow Molly-Ann what a week! Lunchtime Role Model of the week goes to Jay. Well done Jay. We are so proud of you.
Things to Note:
Ruby-Lilly has misplaced her cardigan. If anyone finds it in their washing basket please could you return it to school and we will make sure that Ruby-Lilly gets it back. Many thanks.
We hope that you all have a lovely weekend.
Take care and stay safe,

Despite feeling under the weather myself this week, Miss Bassett has loved spending extra special time with the children and I’ve heard wonderful things about how hard they have been working.

We have been continuing our investigation of minibeasts. We completed ‘What am I’ description quiz. Everyone was very good at listening to the clues and then working out which minibeast it could be. Click below to have a go at home (you will need a PowerPoint facility to access this).
We looked in all the places where minibeasts could be hiding. We found worms, slugs, earwigs, spiders and one snail! We even got the explorer bags out! I must admit I think all the creatures ran away as they heard us coming! We had to search for ages!
We decided that we could catch some ants and make a formicary (the ants were extremely fast) and a snail house (we found out that snails have hundreds of teeth and we wanted to watch them eating! ! Click here to watch a video about snails eating!
Also, have a look at our beautiful garden!
Carrying on with our Sports’ Day physical activity challenges the children decided to create obstacle courses form the soft shapes and the large wooden bricks. They were really challenging!
I have also added some more photos from Sports’ day.
Our love of books has grown and grown over the years and the children can be found reading EVERYWHERE!
We listened to a video story with lots of minibeasts in it during the week, because we just love minibeasts. Click here to listen at home.
And now for more Photos of the Week!! They range from making a sand café in the garden, a shiny river for all the animals, designing a water filling machine, making snow (a request from Roo) and making wishes with Aladdin’s lamp! Such great fun!
After another packed week of learning at nursery the children may need a rest! Enjoy your weekend and we will see everyone on Monday, bright eyed and bushy tailed!

Time has flown this week, the children are blowing us away with their enthusiasm to grow their brains and get ready for Year One!

Smiles and laughter lit up the playground this week as the children played.
Read more"Pressure can burst a pipe or make a diamond!"
We have investigated peer pressure over the past two RHE (relationship and health education) lessons. It has allowed us to really explore what good and bad pressure is!
Read moreYear 4 blog. "Gratitude turns what we have into enough"
We have been making it our business nearly every morning this week, to do our Examen. This is a five minute personal reflection on our previous day, remembering all the things we can be grateful for, at home, in the playground and at school. Teachers join in too! It really does make you realise exactly how many things we have to be thankful for and starts the day off beautifully!
It has been a very purposeful week where we have been visiting many different realms when reading Viking myths! Children now have their own character who they meet through the stories and some have researched at home too who these characters are. The boats that they made for homework were AMAZING - so many different creations and ideas.
In history this week, we looked at place names in our area of England and discovered that SO many places were inhabited by Vikings in our past, especially, we found many in the Lake District. Anywhere which ends with thorpe, thwaite, dale, by and many more place endings was founded by Vikings!
In maths, children have been learning all about statistics. They can now interpret pictograms, tables, bar charts and line graphs! We did notice, when doing this that MANY children need to practise telling the time. I have asked children to practice this at home as much as they can.
In RE, we have practised our Holy Communion. Children tried the host for the first time (unconsecrated) and have practised the procedure of taking it. There is a great feeling of excitement for their special day! We have also learned all about the 7 sacraments this week and that Sacraments are a special meeting with Jesus.
Let’s Celebrate!
This week there were three certificate winners! We have one Bobby Bee, Grace who is showing so much confidence and self-belief in her abilities
Both Isabella and Olivia have received a Kiki Chameleon/Sadie Spider certificate for putting so much effort and thought into their work. Well done all of you!
PE stars this week go to Abi and Christian.
Music stars this week were Isabella and Stephanie.
and
India was our French star!
Notices
We will see the first children for Holy Communion this Saturday at 8.45 am and the other half next week at the same time. Please ensure you are familiar with procedures ( letter last week and email from Miss Hornby this week) and lets have a beautiful day!
Year 4 will be having a Viking dress-up day on Thursday 8th July. Children can dress up as Viking warriors, gods, goddesses or any other character from the Viking world such as giants/giantesses. I will give you more ideas nearer the time.
Have a lovely weekend everyone. God bless,
Mrs Lyons, Mrs Mather and Miss Forster
