Class Novel: A Bad Spell for the Worst Witch
Following on from our first class novel (‘The Worst Witch’), Class 2 have entered into the world of Mildred Hubble again in ‘A Bad Spell for the Worst Witch’. If you answer a question right about the story then you become one of the lucky ones to wear Mildred Hubble’s own hat!
Those who wear the hat are said to inherit her magical powers. Luckily none of the children have turned me into a frog yet!
New Literacy Module: Instructions (Video)
The children have started their new literacy learning, which is all about instructions. We have been practising reading and writing instructions, and even doing the actions!
Tomorrow we are going to see if we can write some instructions on how to make a sandwich!
PE with Leeds Met Sports Coaching Students
Year 3 are just one of a number of classes who are currently working with Sports Coaching students from Leeds Met as part of their school placement. The sessions have been very active and enjoyable with the children learning and practising lots of multiskills.
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.
