English, by Mrs Schultz

Today, in English, we have been learning how to write lists. We had to choose whether we wanted to visit Africa or the Antarctic and then write a list of items to pack for our trip. We will be using commas to separate these items in sentences and then we will be using our lists to create 'list poems' later on in the week. I think Mr Ball and Miss Welsh have got a little bit confused with this task!
Mocktails!, by Mrs Schultz
Date: 7th Feb 2022 @ 5:11pm
Year 2 have been learning all about capacity and volume. We have been learning to read measurements in millilitres and litres. Last week, We concluded out topic by making mocktails. We filled a litre jug, using only 3 different juices. The challenge was to make sure each of the measures were different and had to add up to 1000ml/ 1 litre! We only had measuring cylinders that measured up to 200ml, so the groups had to work out how many they would need to fill to make up their chosen volume. It was tricky, but we got to enjoy our cocktails afterwards! It was worth the hard work!

Sharing Books at Home, by Miss Flynn
Date: 1st Feb 2022 @ 12:02pm
Dear Parents,
As you know, reading together at home has astonishing benefits for children: comfort and reassurance, confidence and security, relaxation, happiness and fun. Giving a child time and full attention when reading builds self-esteem, vocabulary, feeds imagination and even improves their sleeping patterns. Is also shows them how important and enjoyable reading is- helping them become lifelong readers.
As of Friday 4th February, alongside your child’s reading book which is matched to their reading ability, your child will also bring home a book they have chosen to share with someone at home. This book will be referred to as their ‘share’ book.
Please return both books in your child’s reading pack each week.
Here are some more tips to help you enjoy story-time together:
- Ask your child to choose what they’d like to read. They’ll feel more interested in the story if they’ve picked it out themselves. (And don’t worry if they keep returning to the same story, either!)
- If you can, turn off the TV, radio and computer. It’s easier for both of you to enjoy the story without any other distractions.
- Sit close together. You could encourage your child to hold the book themselves and turn the pages, too.
- Take a look at the pictures. You don’t just have to read the words on the page. Maybe there’s something funny in the pictures that you can giggle about together, or perhaps your child enjoys guessing what will happen next.
- Ask questions and talk about the book. Ask your child to make predictions about what they think will happen in the story or ask who their favourite character is and why?
- Picture books can be a great way to talk through your child’s fears and worries, or to help them deal with their emotions. Give them space to talk, and ask how they feel about the situations in the story.
- Have fun! There’s no right or wrong way to share a story – as long as you and your child are having fun. Don’t be afraid to act out situations or use funny voices…
Please send in any pictures of you reading at home, so we can share them on our website!
Happy reading,
Miss Flynn ?

Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed Drama with Mr Glen today! We started with a story and a game and then... we pretended to be a ship, using the theme tune and song 'Wellerman', a famous sea shanty, to take turns at being different parts of the boat. We had some super singing and acting which linked well to our current book 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch'. Well done Year 1.
Predicting weight!, by Miss Markey
Date: 27th Jan 2022 @ 12:12pm
This week in Maths we have been learning about weight. Today in Year 1, we were predicting how much different objects weighed. After the children had wrote their predictions, they used cubes practically to balance the balancing scales and work out how many cubes it took to balance each object. They showed some great counting and predicting skills! Well done Year 1!
