Week beginning 23rd February 2014

Wow! What a week! Just when I thought it couldn't get any busier...
Firstly, we have been taking advantage of the (albeit sporadic) sunshine!
In P.E. on Monday, we began our tennis lessons and I must say I was very impressed with the skills and aptitude of class one!








We also enjoyed some sunshine during maths! As part of our space and measure unit, pupils worked collaboratively to measure the school grounds. We then input our results into a table and are now making nets to build a scale model of the school. Maths homework this week is a revision sheet on proportion, to be handed in next Friday. Please attend Maths Surgery if you are having problems.











During Literacy, we have been working on evacuation diaries, which links neatly to our current World War 2 topic. Pupils have until next Friday to complete these.

Class One are also excited to be designing our own Apps during our coding unit. Winners will get their App actually made and published onto the App Store!




Finally, well done to the Eco Ambassadors for raising £32 from our cake sale. Monies have gone towards some bee and butterfly attracting plants to start our mini nursery and allotment. Thanks to Henleaze Garden Shop for the discounted price! The pupils are all is pro-active and enthusiastic that we also stopped off at Chandos Deli for a lunchtime treat! Thanks also to Miss Cutler for coming along and helping.







I look forward to seeing you all at parents' evening next week.

Last week of term....already?!

Wow! That certainly went quickly! It's been a fantastic end to the term this week.
Firstly, in literacy, our movie making team 'The Mafia', led our literacy topic, with a script writing challenge. The winners will have their script ideas made into a film! Well done to Will and Seth, for being excellent teachers!












A huge thank you to George Raven-Dodd, his lovely mum, and Mary Murphy for their brilliant presentation and Q&A session on Autism and Aspergers Syndrome. George has been working on his presentation, to help us all understand more about the condition.
Our maths group has had a brilliant week, designing and making their own maths games. They were really creative and the class enjoyed playing them this Friday. No formal homework has been set for the half term holiday, but our group knows websites and practice questions, if the mood takes them!
This Thursday, year 6 enjoyed a great trip to the MShed. Here, we enjoyed the Wildlife Photographer of the year exhibition, alongside the WWII exhibition and all the other amazing exhibitions.




A huge week done goes to the following members of class one, who have had their poetry (My Favourite Thing), entered into The Threshold Prize. This is a national competition, and the entrants have a chance to get their work published!! We will keep you updated!

Finally, there is no homework set this half term! Instead, pupils can revise section 1 for the science quiz, do some, practise SATs questions, or write their 500 word challenge.....all optional though!
Let's hope we get some dry weather this holiday, and have a well earned rest. I am looking forward to seeing you all again, fresh and ready for another great half term.

Week beginning 27th January

Another week of hard work and fun for class one!

We have been really working on our individual targets, in preparation for the latest levelled write, which Mrs Tabley is marking as we speak!
Comma use has also been a focus of ours, as we are trying to be more accurate with our use of punctuation.

As promised, when Ciaran finished the book Holes, we watched the film. Ciaran had been having difficulty in finding a book he enjoyed, and Holes was that book! Well done Ciaran, we will now find you another!!




Our research for World War Two is going really well, and all the class are fully engaged in researching for their specialist group. Homework this week is to continue collecting information and ideas. Some people have been enjoying playing simulation games during their lunch break.





In maths we have just finished looking at fractions, percentages and decimals. Homework this week is to complete the percentages booklet for Friday's lesson.
