Golden pupils 9.1.14

 
 
 

Jake
 
Well done Jake you have returned to school with a fantastic attitude to your learning.  You have been trying so hard with your writing and producing super work and your positive attitude has helped you move up a reading level.  Keep up all your hard work.
 
 
Lucy
 
Lucy you are probably the most cheerful member of our class and you are always enthusiastic about your learning and love to make our class giggle with your observations.  You have some amazing role play skills and have been helping others to get in character in our new Pizza role play area.  Thank you for such a great attitude to your learning.

Tens and units

This week in maths we have been learning to partition a two digit number into tens and units.

Have a go at this shark game to see if you can identify the numbers that are shown using the towers of 10 and the unit cubes.

Pronto Pizza

Have a look at the fun we have been having in our new role play area. I really enjoyed being a customer I had great service and a yummy pizza.

Big Write 10.1.14

This week children will be completing Big write for the first time.  This is where the children have the opportunity to write completely independently in a calm supportive environment.  They will need to rehearse what they are going to write at home and we will rehearse together through big talk before they sit down to write on Friday morning.  The children do not write from notes.

This is an opportunity for children to show how they can write in complete sentences using the correct punctuation.  Add interest to their work by using adjectives (wow words) and join sentences together using connectives.  So for example, looking at the picture below children could write
"There is a man eating snails.  The dog is eating snails"  or they could improve these sentences to say "A grey haired  man is eating disgusting snails and feeding them to the fluffy dog."

I am looking forward to reading everyone's writing on Friday.

Happy New year

 
 
Welcome back I hope you have all had a wonderful holiday and Santa brought you lots of lovely things.  All the adults in our class would like to say a big thank you for all the lovely gifts you gave us.
 
Our new topic this half term is "Take it away".  We will be looking at food from around the world, creating fantastic instructions to make food which we will use and working in our pizza shop role play area to practise our addition and subtraction using money. 
 
I am looking forward to seeing you tomorrow and hearing all your Christmas stories.

Fantastic Learning logs

Thank you everyone for all your hard work with your learning logs over this term.  I have learnt so much reading them and take a look at the pictures to see how much everyone enjoyed reading each other's logs.
