Living and Learning: I can say something good about myself.

Posted on Friday 08 March 2019 by

The Living and Learning statement this week is ” I can say something good about myself”. During circle time the class took turns to tell Bob the Bear something good about themselves. Below are some of the things that some of the children said.

Kara shared that she tries to help people when they need help and Eliza described herself as helpful. Leah tries to help people even if they are not her friend. Mikey told us that he is nice to his sister. Daisy feels that she is good at knowing what to use to help her learn.

World Book Day

Posted on Thursday 07 March 2019 by Mr Mills

Today was that time of year again, the best day of the year – World Book Day. The costumes were simply amazing and we all looked brilliant. It was also great to see some Roald Dahl Characters: Veruca Salt, The BFG and Mr Willy Wonka.

We spent part of the morning making our ‘book door’ for the whole school competition. We based it on a Wonka Bar and surrounded it with our very own Golden Tickets.

Skipping Festival

Posted on Thursday 07 March 2019 by Mr Mills

Earlier this week, we finally got the chance to show off our skipping skills at the skipping festival at Wetherby High School. We started by competing in the skills showdown. In pairs we demonstrated: speed bouncing, side swings and crossover skips. Even though only 1 minute long, each competitor was exhausted from the effort they put in.

Then we moved onto our skip dance routine. We’ve worked really hard on this over the last few weeks. It wasn’t only about showing our skipping skills; we had to count beats, watch other children move for cues and be looking where we were standing.

We came away with a haul of certificates for our efforts as well as first place in the crossover and butterfly skills.

Well done, 3/4.

World Book Day

Posted on Thursday 07 March 2019 by Mrs Allen-Kelly

What a wowzer World Book Day we’ve had: such FANTASTIC costumes and thoughtful choices of favourite books that really got the children talking and sharing in the pleasure of reading.

Thank you to those parents who started the day with us in our Relax and Read session and especially for sharing reading with not only your own children but their friends too. It was a very special time that the children really enjoyed.

Thank you to year 5/6, who came down later in the school day to share books with Foundation. You were great role models!

We were also very busy today, working on our Whatever Next #decorateyourdoor competition items; writing, paintings and collages. The competition was judged this afternoon by our local librarian from Wetherby Library, who liked our ‘3d aspect’ and decided that Foundation were the winners! We’re so proud of the children’s hard work. Watch this space for details of our exciting prize!

World Book Day 2019

We have had a great day today. We have looked at lots of different books and reviewed them. This afternoon we took part in a whole school competition to cover our classroom  doors with our favourite story. Take a look!

Shrove Tuesday

Posted on Tuesday 05 March 2019 by Mrs Allen-Kelly

It’s Pancake Day! Children across school have been making their own pancakes; measuring ingredients, mixing, designing pictures of their favourite flavours and adding toppings. Then we ate them-Yum!

Before we made our pancakes, Foundation discussed the meaning of Shrove Tuesday and the important time of Lent for Christians.

Ask your child what they can remember about Shrove Tuesday and the tradition of eating pancakes on this day! 

Chocolate Masterteers

Posted on Friday 01 March 2019 by Mr Mills

Finally the time came this week to make our chocolate bars! After much tasting, testing and planning, we began by melting the chocolate on the cooker with the help of Mrs Walton. We then had to rapidly mix our fillings and flavours in before the chocolate began to harden again. We finished by pouring the chocolate into moulds and allowing it to harden overnight.

Our job didn’t end there though. We then had to design the logo and the packaging to go with our chocolate. We looked into what makes a good chocolate bar name and also studied existing design. Finally, we got to take them home and devour them.

Watch us while we work.

This afternoon we worked on some learning tasks with our parents and carers. The learning jobs we had a go at were activities that we could do at home to practise some important skills. There were spelling activities and number bond jobs along with some multiplication tasks. Take a look.

 

Dinosaur Drawings

Posted on Wednesday 27 February 2019 by

We have been working really hard during our art lessons to perfect our drawing skills. We have been focusing on using different types of lines and shading.

We started off thinking about shapes that we can use to make drawing easier for us. We then use this knowledge to sketch our lines carefully to mimic the shapes of the dinosaurs.

Check out our amazing progress!
