Chestnut Class

Hello, Yesterday we went on a school trip to Woburn Safari Park. "My favourite part was seeing the tigers" Ben "My favourite part was seeing the penguins" Georgina "My favourite part was seeing the squirrel monkeys" Austin "My favourite part was going on the foot safari" Will. Why not leave a comment telling us your favourite part of the trip? Today we wrote a recount about our trip yesterday. We included some expanded noun phrases, time conjunctions and detail about our brilliant trip. Today we welcomed a new member to Chestnut Class called Michael.  Don't forget next Friday is the school disco and NSPCC Number Day. You can come to school in non-uniform and wear a number. Please also bring a donation in.  This week our home learning is to have a go at the Big Bird Watch, the information is on our home learning sticker.  Well done to Mary-Ann who is our Star of the Week for her brilliant listening and attitude towards her ...

Hello,  This week it is colour week. Chestnut Class' colour is yellow. For home learning we brought in a yellow object from home. We had a yellow skateboard, yellow teddy, yellow book and a yellow flower in our small world tray, alongside lots of other yellow bits! This week in maths we have been learning about data. We collected information on our favourite colours using a tally chart. Then we turned it into a bar graph on the laptops. We tried a piece of banana, pineapple and lemon as part of a yellow fruit tasting activity.  "The lemon tasted very sour." Annabelle "The pineapple was juicy." Georgina "The banana was quite mushy." Jack In English we wrote our own colour poems.  "What is blue? the sky is blue where the clouds like to move." Clara "What is red? a toy car is red, driving near the bed." Emily.Cr "What is green? a leaf is green, in the shimmering trees." Zanthi In art we have been thinking ab...

Hello,  We have been learning about The Gruffalo and we retold the story in our own words.  This week the Star Award is going to Emily for always being cheerful and a helpful member of our class.  Tweet is going home with Annabelle for her brilliant listening skills and for her use of wow words in her writing! In dance we have been learning the start of a routine to 'Singing in the Rain'. Next week we are going to learn the next part.  This week we have been showing off our maths skills by using different strategies to solve addition, subtraction, multiplication and division questions.  Next week is 'Colour Week'. The colour in Chestnut Class is yellow. Home learning is to find a yellow object at home and bring it into school to share with your friends. Please check with your adult before bringing it to school and also please attach your name to the object.  Have a good weekend!

Happy New Year! We have been in school for 2 days. Today we wrote a recount of what we got up to over the Christmas Holidays. We also used our sketching skills to draw a self-portrait. Our challenge was to include detail. This week Paddington has been very cheeky! Mrs Byrne showed us photographs of what Paddington got up to in school whilst we were all away! Home learning is to see how many different things you can do over the weekend that doesn’t include technology. E.g. go for a family walk, scoot or bike ride. Write a story or draw / paint a picture. Please remember to bring your PE kit into school and include a pair of socks. Enjoy your weekend
