Year 6 had a fantastic day at Beaumanor Hall yesterday. Dressed as evacuees, they all experienced living through the rations and raids of WW2. The children deciphered and decoded messages, listened to an air raid simulation in a genuine private shelter and danced and sung songs from the time. Thanks Beaumanor Hall for an amazing day!
Meet Haydon and Abbey, our new friends in Preschool. The children have greeted them in circle time and welcomed them by telling them some of the fun things that they can do here and what our daily routine is. They thought about how they can show kindness to their new friends.
1FS had so much fun in forest school yesterday making their little fluffy friends habitats. They found lots of different bugs under the base camp stalls too! They can't wait for our session next week.

All children need to wear their school uniform to school on these days. There will be NO PE lessons on Thursday, however those with Forest School will still need to bring their Forest School kit in with them.
2FD made a sunflower and some decorative stones in their history lesson today, in memory of Queen Elizabeth II.
In their history lesson today, 2ES have been decorating stones to remember Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
We have had a lovely week at school and we hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Please see our newsletter below for news/information 📰
6AH enjoyed experimenting with mirrors, investigating what happens to words and shapes when reflected. They then made links to the wider world, identifying mirror writing in everyday life. The children worked beautifully in supportive partnerships too!
5CP have enjoyed their first visit of the year to Forest school. Re-exploring the area and getting ready for some great activities to come this term :)
Year 1 have been looking at number and how they can represent different amounts using different resources. They created cities out of numicon, have used cubes to make numbers and some even challenged themselves to show an amount using dienes.
Year 4 have been practicing their story mapping and re-telling skills for their story ‘Elf Road’ this week! We think they have done a brilliant job at remembering it.
Year 1 were awarded with a certificate from Mrs Adams this week for helping her to collect all the balls on the playground that were thrown off the roof. Miss Stewart and Miss Ayers were very proud of them all!
Thank you to those who came to our Reading and Writing meeting today with Mrs Howell and Miss Doyle.

Please check out the ‘Little Wandle’ website link below for information about the books children will be coming home with. There is a video about this under the tab “Books coming home”.

Year 4 went through a portal door 🚪 which took them to a great hall filled with a feast for their English hook. They’ve been working on their descriptive writing so far for their Innovation stage.

Check out some fab examples from their short burst writing.
4SH have been counting backwards through negative numbers this week! We searched for numbers around the playground and got into order on a number-line.
Following the announcement that Mon 19 Sept is a Bank Holiday for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's State Funeral, School & Pre-School will be closed for the day.

At their after school DT club, the children from year 5 have enjoyed making bird houses. They designed them themselves, made them (with a little bit of help) and finished them off this week. We think you’ll agree that they look great.

Say “Hello” to our new Eco Warriors ♻️🌍. So far this term they have carried out an Environmental Review to see what we, as a school need to improve on! The children, along with Miss Hurley and Mrs Wood will come up with an action plan for how we move forward as a school to become more environmentally friendly and hopefully, earn our Green Flag at the end of the year!

Look out for our Eco Tips in the newsletter and on our socials!

6NA finished off their forest school sessions with two busy sessions. Last week they put their skills to the test and made dream catchers practising their knots and lashing they have been taught in the past. They showed teamwork and resilience when it got tricky, helping each other to tie the string. Finally today, it culminated in a fires session where they baked camp fire bread with a dollop of jam!

Year 3 really enjoyed conducting an investigation in science lesson around whether the length of our femurs affected how far we can jump. We saw lots of amazing jumping and some great teamwork. Well done Year 3!

To coincide with Black History Month, Year 5 have been exploring how this annual event came about, specifically looking at the Transatlantic Slave Trade. They looked at what enslaved people had to endure during this time, including being taken from their homes and families and being forced to work for no money, and how slavery was eventually abolished. They then imagined that they were abolitionists in the 18th/19th century and created their own posters to try and bring about abolishing the slave trade.

In Literacy today, Reception have been writing speech bubbles to show what the animals say in our story ‘The Little Red Hen’. We have even been learning to use capital letters and finger spaces. Arianna, Leo and Nena particularly impressed us with their writing and perseverance. They received a head teacher’s award from Miss Ferdinand.

4ES loved their trip to Science Oxford today! The exploration zone was a firm favourite. The children could make working electrical circuits to power a fans and bulbs, see if they could make a paper object float and watch the process as water froze!

4SH had a fantastic day being mini scientists at Science Oxford today, where they had fun in the exploration zone, watched a show to get them thinking scientifically and investigating ‘Changing Materials’.

🚶🏻‍♀️It is ‘International Walk to School month’🚶🏻‍♀️

Since mid September, the children have been busy logging if they have an active journey to school or not! If they can achieve at least one active journey a week over the month, they receive a badge!

An active journey could be walking/wheeling, scooting or biking, travel by bus and get off a stop or two earlier, or even ‘Park and Stride’, where you can park 5-10 minutes away and walk the rest of the journey.

The theme this year is Nature! So take in the world around you and see what you can spot 📸

Year 3 have been learning about bones and muscles in science. They went outside to draw around each other and then label bones.

6AH loved debating in History. They reflected on their learning over the past few weeks to discuss ‘Was Henry VIII an effective monarch?’ They were so respectful of different opinions and counter arguments.

Last week, Pre-school had an impromptu visit from the Head Boy and Head Girl. They were so excited to see them and enjoyed playing dinosaurs and playdough with them and they shared some stories together too. The Head boy and Head Girl loved their visit as did the children in Pre-school - we weren't sure who enjoyed it more!

Look at these amazing pieces of writing that Y2 have created. They have been using different pictures as their inspiration to create word banks of nouns and adjectives and then using them to write some amazing “I am …” pieces.

On Friday, Year 5 and 6 met Paralympic Archer Jodie Grinham. The children loved listening to Jodie explain her journey to being a Paralympic Silver and gold World Champion medalist and loved it even more when they were able to hold the medals. They were fascinated that the Paralympic medal had beads inside along with being a different weight to others for the blind athletes.

In PSHE this afternoon, 5MM worked on their communication and collaboration skills. The children were given the task of building the tallest tower with just some newspaper and masking tape! Each team had to assign roles, agree a plan and work together under time pressure. We were very proud of their resilience and teamworking skills, and the winning team was very proud of their tower!

4SH enjoyed acting out the water cycle today to help their understanding of each stage. They went from being liquid particles in the ocean, to evaporating and becoming water vapour, to then condensation where they became water droplets and formed clouds. Then they went through precipitation, becoming heavier and dropping as rain back in the ocean for collection 💧 🔁

The children in 3HB had another fantastic session in forest school this afternoon. This week some of the children made dream catchers out of sticks and wool! Here are a few of the amazing results!!

Year 6 became Eco Warriors and went on a litter picking mission whilst over at forest school. They went under the hedgerows and bushes and found a lot of rubbish from the roadside, including a very large traffic cone!

Year 2 have produced some multi media collages of the London skyline to link with their History topic. They thoroughly enjoyed deciding which colours to use and we think you’ll agree the final pieces are pretty effective. We think the addition of the silhouette makes them fantastic! Well done year 2 and well done for clearing up your classrooms too.
