Literacy Stars

  Recently, the children have been developing their Literacy skills by enjoying games of Scrabble. They are learning to work in teams to create words which make up the most points. I was amazed by how quick everyone was and what fantastic words they managed to put together. 

                               

                               

                               

                                                            Keep up the good work everyone!

Chinese New Year

Last Friday, the school celebrated Chinese New Year with firecrackers, colour and lots of excitement. We began our day with a whole school assembly in the basketball court. Classes performed songs, dances and kung fu. All performances were very impressive and we enjoyed watching them a lot. The children looked beautiful in their traditional clothing. 

I wish you all luck, joy and plenty of happiness in the year to come!

How do Plants Grow?

Our current Science topic focuses on how plants grow. What better way to find out about this than to grow some plants ourselves!  At the start of this topic many children posed the question, “Can plants only grow with water?” well we decided to put this to the test.  Each child was given four plant pots and four beans. Each day the children will water their plants using different liquids, milk, water, juice and olive oil. Then we’ll be able to see which grow and which do not. Some may grow but perhaps take longer than others? Keep posted for the results…

3D Shapes

During Maths lessons, many of us have been revising units that we covered in the first term. We really enjoyed reviewing what we already knew as well as extending our knowledge of these particular areas. The children loved working in groups to make 3D shapes. This required all sorts of problem solving skills.

 After having constructed the shapes, different groups tested each other on specific features. Everyone was able to name how many faces, vertices and edges each shape had.

The Blitz!

During our art lesson this week, we focused on scenes from ‘The Blitz’. These were air raids on London which began in September 1940. Lots of other places were bombed, including industrial cities and ports such as Birmingham, Coventry, Southampton, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, Hull and Glasgow. There were also air raids on seaside towns, such as Eastbourne, and on cathedral cities such as Canterbury.

Our artwork is displayed outside of the classroom, please feel free to come in and see it for yourselves.
