Curriculum enrichment shoutout 📣✨ On the last day of term, the KS1 team invited parents into school to celebrate and showcase their Literacy outcomes from Autumn 1. Parents and loved ones had the opportunity to look through their children’s books and follow the journey of their writing, from initial ideas to their final pieces. As a team, we’ve been thinking carefully about how to make writing purposeful and exciting for our children. With this in mind, our recent writing outcome focused on instructions—and who better to write for than our very own parents? It was only fitting to invite them in to help us follow the children’s instructions to make a delicious jam sandwich! We also proudly shared our fantastic initial collages, which the children created with great creativity and enthusiasm. A huge thank you to everyone who came along—we truly appreciate your continued support! ✨

We have also looked at the importance of first aid and how to put someone in the recovery position. In Science, we created our own shadow puppets and investigated changing the distance of light and the impact it had on our shadows. We hope you have a lovely break and we will see you after the half term, Miss Bullard and Mrs Layzell🎃

🌟Speedwell🌟 My goodness we made it! Autumn 1 complete! Our Speedwellians have absolutely smashed this half term and we are incredibly proud of how hard they have worked, their growth in confidence and the way they have become a real team looking out for one another. This week we have created something new using recycled materials, worked with the year 6 playleaders to test out their new lunch time activities, learned about subtraction, fact families and finding the difference and wrote some amazing facts about Rosa Parks and why she is an important figure to help us understand about Black History month. Today we enjoyed our class treat for filling up our kindness beehive with over 60 acts of kindness this half term - this is incredible! We enjoyed watching the film 'Charlottes Web' which is the book we have been reading in class. We enjoyed using our collage skills learned in art to create some beautiful pumpkins with Lily-Anna (our helper for the day.) The parent share was the most wonderful way to end the half term - an enormous thank you to everyone that came along to celebrate the children's hard work. The sandwiches looked delicious! We look forward to seeing you next half term with PE and Woodland kits! (Indoor PE - Tuesday, Woodland - Wednesday) Have a wonderful, restful break. Mrs Ball & Mrs Clarke

This week, the children learned about Diwali by reading 'The Best Diwali Ever' by Sonali Shah. The children explored Diwali traditions through creative activities like making rangoli patterns, designing mehndi art, and crafting their own diya lamps. A special visitor also joined us to teach a Diwali-inspired dance, which the children loved! It was a joyful week full of colour, movement, and learning about how different people celebrate special occasions🪔 We also learned about Alma Thomas, an artist from the past. Her story helped us talk about kindness, respect, and celebrating what makes each of us unique. The children were inspired by Alma's colourful, abstract artwork and created their own expressive pieces using shape, colour and pattern. It was a wonderful way to explore art while learning important values like empathy and inclusion 🖌️

The final event of this half term was the ALT Year 4 Boys football at Red Oak Primary. All the boys that attended were great models for the school and worked well together showing great teamwork which resulted in both the A and B teams winning their leagues and becoming Champions. Well done to the Year 3s who stepped up to play and to Neddy and Reuben for their player of the tournament medals. Big thank you to all those who came along to support the children.

This week in Reception, we have been exploring the book 'Not Like the Others' by Jana Broecker. It has sparked some wonderful conversations about what makes each of us unique! The children have been thinking about their own special qualities and learning to appreciate differences in others. From physical features to favourite hobbies, interests, and dislikes. It has been a lovely way to celebrate individuality while also discovering what we have in common. In Maths, we have been busy comparing groups of objects. The children have been learning to use key vocabulary like 'more', 'less' and 'the same' with growing confidence. It has been great to see them thinking critically and explaining their ideas clearly. The Reception team are so proud of how curious and thoughtful the children have been this week!

🌟Speedwell🌟 A fabulous week for our Speedwellians! We have written instructions in Literacy, added together 3 one digit numbers in maths and learned about recycling in Science. In PE we have mastered our throwing and dribbling skills and learned to skip with a skipping rope! Our Art has been a huge success with some absolutely magnificent collages which we have evaluated. We have ordered and grouped in Science and learned about welcoming babies into different faiths in our R&WV lessons. One more week to go! Have a restful weekend. Mrs Ball & Mrs Clarke

We’ve had a great week in Elder this week. In PSHE, we learnt about the five ways to wellbeing and presented our ideas to the class. In PE, we held class tournaments for both Hockey and Tag Rugby where the children applied all of their skills from this half term. In Literacy, we have been writing our news reports and practiced presenting them like news reporters today. In Art, we began our final pieces to create a collage inspired by Gustav Klimt. Well done everyone, one more week until half term!
