SEAL statement 14 March

‘I can help someone with a worry’ is the new SEAL statement for this week.  We will be looking at developing empathy skills to recognise if others are worried and how children can help others in these situations.

Each class has a SEAL box where children can ‘post’ any suggestions, news or worries to share with their teacher, class or school councillors.  In addition to this is the worry box, available for the whole school to use, monitored by Mrs Wilson, our Learning Mentor.

Designers of the future!

Reception children have been busy making fantastic models this week.

Please come and listen to our stories on Thursday at 2.30.

We are having a storytelling workshop on Thursday and telling our own stories. We’ll share these with parents at 2.30pm in the classroom.

The homework this week is Creative and is due in Wednesday 16 March:

I can create something to help me remember how to tell the time.

I am really excited about seeing what you are going to come up with for this week’s homework, Year 2!

You have to create something (ideas below) that will help you remember the time. If you know the time to o’clock, then you could draw a clock with labels for half-past on? See if you can come up with something that is original, but also something that will help your learning.

Here are some ideas:

• A poster which has a clock with all the labelled times on.
• A flow diagram of how to work out the time.
• A brainstorm of all the important vocabulary when telling the time.
• A set of flash cards stuck to your book with quarter past, half past etc.

Please don’t feel you have to stick to these if you have something even more creative!

L.O. Words I will need when writing instructions.

11 March 2011

This week’s homework is creative. It is due in on Wednesday 16 March.

I know what instructions are.

You could find examples, produce your own instructions by writing them or using diagrams or come up with your own idea!

Comic Relief

Friday 18th March is comic relief. Year Four have the theme of Astronauts and Aliens. It would be great to see some of the children dressed up as something linked to our topic (I don’t want to be the only alien)! Our learning will also link to this theme on the day so it should be enjoyable!
