Our Outstanding Sharing Assembly

Today, it was our turn to do a sharing assembly. We wanted to show off all the things we had learnt since Christmas - there was so much we wanted to say! We had to remember to speak clearly, holding the microphone on our chin. We had to wait our turn and remember to smile when we were singing! We hope you enjoyed it!


In maths, we have been learning to tell the time. We practised making times on a clock and then used that to solve some problems. We found quarter to and past quite tricky, so maybe we can try it again at home.


In English, we have been reading space poems. In them, we had to find alliteration and onomatopoeia. Alliteration is when there's a few words together that start with the same letter like roaring red rockets. Onomatopoeia is when a word sounds like the sound it makes. You'd use an exclamation mark after it - BANG! WHOOSH! We will be continuing with this learning next week, in Book Week.


Verb of the week this week is 'To be'.


On Tuesday we had a science workshop. It was called Moondust on my Socks. We explored making electrical circuits to make a light switch on and off. This helped us to speak alien! We also made a card with a moving rocket on it. We learnt about astronauts going to the moon, too. Did you know the moon is made out of rock? It has craters on it, too.


This week our home learning is to find poems we like and say what we like about them - we could also have a go at writing our own poem. Next Friday we can dress up as a book character if we want to, otherwise we come to school in our uniform.


The Star Award this week goes to Matilda - her story for the 500 Words competition was great, she really persevered with it.


Our Learning Owl this week is Harry. He tries hard with his work, he's a great friend to others and lots of adults around school comment on how kind and polite he is. Well done, Harry. Have a great weekend with Night.


Building work starts next week, so please come to the back door at the playground to drop off on Monday morning. On Tuesday, we need to be dropped off at Treetops as we'll be working in there....
