Crazy socks for Birch
On Monday Birch had to come in with crazy socks of anti bullying week! We all tried our hardest to be super crazy! Well done Birch!
Pop it Maths
In Hazel class today we enjoyed doing our addition sums using pop its.
Pupils love using the pop its in class to support sensory and fidget needs so we thought this would be a fun tool to use to support in lessons.
Pupils had to press down each number in their addition sum and then count the total down at the end.
Well Done Hazel class, Fantastic work!
Phonics in Maple
In Maple Class we have been looking at all our different phonics sounds. Everyday we all go into our different classes and groups to practise our sounds.
These are some of our amazing children practicing the sounds.
We practise our phonics in lots of different ways. We practiced writing our letters in flour so this is giving your children sensory input as well as learning phonics,
We also make phonics super fun by creating the letter with the train track and practise the sound as we push the trains, or we get creative and decorate our letters,
We also recap sounds by using flash cards and asking ourn amazing pupils to say the sound that is on the card.
Christmas activities and other updates
Afternoon everyone
Please see below for a letter which details the plans for Christmas week as well as some other updates.
Geography (9R)
Pupils in 9R have been working on identifying different types of weather gauges such as Thermometer, wind turbine and rain catcher. All the children were involved in designing a rain catcher and then went out and about around the schools grounds to find suitable places to hang them. They are currently checking them weekly to complete the tally chart of what weather can be captured the most effectively.
11M Remembrance Day
11M wrote some poems and then one of our class gave a presentation and shared some of the items from his military collection.
Beech Remember
Beech class have discussed remembrance day this week. We have been around the school site putting up some poppies for anyone who drives past us. We also spent some time making poppies and they looked lovley!
Remembrance Day in our thoughts from 9R
Over the last week pupils in 9R have been completing a range of activities and discussions around the topic and events of what happened after the wars. They have embedded knowledge and skills from History and English to produce a brilliant Art piece for to Display in school and share in the Remembrance assembly. The group decided to finish off their display with colouring their own poppies and inserting their profile pictures onto them to create the poppy wreath around the display.
