50th Birthday Celebrations! Week Ending: 06.10.17

Hello,

We have had a fantastic week at school. On Monday we had a party day because we celebrated the school's 50th birthday. We played party games, made crowns and all sat in the hall to share some birthday cake. We also made rice krispie cakes and then wrote instructions teaching others how to make rice krispie cakes. We used imperative verbs and numbered bullet points. 

Today we had a skipping workshop. Some of us demonstrated our skipping skills during the skipping assembly.  Clara was able to skip with a skipping rope whilst also skipping within a bigger skipping rope!

During English we read The Gingerbread Man and and came up with verbs that the Gingerbread Man could do. Some of us came up with our own repeated phrases. Hop, hop as high as you can. Jog, jog as fast as you can. 


Well done to Tommie for being the Star of the Week as Tommie is kind and caring towards others. 

Congratulaitons to Ralphie who will be spending the weekend with Tweet our Learning Owl. Ralphie has demonstrated a fantastic attitude towards his learning and has persevered with his learning. 


Home learning is to go on an autumn walk with your family and record what you see.
