Buddy’s Workout!

The Reception children took part in a mini aerobic session to raise money for the NSPCC. All the children took part and completed their workout. Please could you send any sponsor money to school by Thursday. Thank you for your support.

SEAL statement 18 October

The last statement as part of our New Beginnings SEAL theme is ‘I can make my class a good place to learn.’

Class contracts and routines are fully in place now so staff will be looking out for children who make good choices to enable their class to have a positive learning environment.

NSPCC – Buddy’s Big Workout

To raise money for one of our nominated charities, the NSPCC, the children in Year 1 have completed their fun physical activity. We hopped, jumped, bounced and even did some step-ups! By doing our activity, we earned 94 points!

Well done children.

This number (94) needs to be entered onto the NSPCC sponsor form. Forms should be returned to school by Thursday 21 October 2010. Thank you for your support.

I can talk to someone about what toys were like in the past.

I look forward to hearing about some of the interesting things that you have found out during ‘show and tell’ on Wednesday.

The learning objective for this list is to spell words with the ’ch’ sound.

These will be tested on Thursday 21 October, instead of Friday as the children are not in school.

This week’s spellings for Bananas and Oranges are all compound words – that’s two words joined to make one.

Apples have some high-frequency words to remember.

They will be tested on Thursday 21 October (one day earlier than usual!).

This week, it’s Talk Time homework and is due in on Wednesday 20 October.

I can talk about pushes and pulls.

• What forces do you know about already?
• Can you give me examples of a push?
• Can you give me examples of a pull?
• Can you see forces? How do you know they are there?
• What push and pull do you do the most?

This homework will really help you in our topic. I can’t wait to hear what you already know!

NSPCC Buddy’s Big Workout

In PE this morning we took on Buddy’s Big Workout!

To fit in with our PE topic, we had decided to try and complete 100 throws and catches. It wasn’t easy. There were a few missed catches. There were a few erratic throws.

But we did manage to make the 100 target! The last throw was a bit tense, but Pamela’s throw was straight and Loraine’s catch was perfect!

It’s now time to get the sponsorship envelopes back in to school. All envelopes need to be in before Thursday 21 October.

Thank you.

15 October 2010

It was fantastic to hear all the things you found out from last week’s talk time homework. A big thank you to those who had to delve back a long way in their memories, and also to those whose didn’t have to delve too far!

The homework this week is creative and is due in on Wednesday 20 October.

I can see 2d and 3d shapes around me.

We had a talk as a class about this and came up with some brilliant ideas for what we could do. Ideas included:

• Taking pictures of some 2d and 3d shapes you see.
• Sketching some shapes you see at home.
• Making an object, such as a person or animal out of lots of different shapes.
• Creating a shape collage out of pictures from a magazine
• Making some pop-up 3d shapes – good luck with that one!

I will look forward to seeing what you have created on Wednesday. Best of luck!
