Welcome back! We hope you all had a wonderful half term.
We have had a busy first week back and loved our trip to Waddesdon Manor.
"We went to an aviary where there were birds from around the world. My favourite bird had black and blue feathers" - Luca
"We looked at paintings that told the story of Sleeping Beauty." - Freddie
"The artist was from Russia and used patterns in his painting." - Alfie
"The repeated pattern was called a motif" - William M
"We looked at patterns in nature outside" - Deahn
Well done to all of the children for representing the school with their fantastic behaviour.
In English, we wrote a recount about our school trip. We used time connectives to show the order of events throughout the day.
In Maths, we have been using our place value knowledge to solve addition and subtraction problems mentally.
We looked at our finger prints in Science and found out that all of our finger prints are unique.
JJ said "My finger print is a loop"
Well done to Alfie for being our Learning Owl this week. He shows such a positive and responsible attitude towards his learning. We hope you enjoy your weekend with Night.

St Mary's Visit - 9.2.17
On Wednesday, we visited St Mary's church to learn about why the church is a special place for Christians. We learnt lots of fantastic facts about the church.
Jamie - St Mary's church has got bigger over time because more and more people have moved to Redbourn.
Delilah - St Mary's church is over 900 years old!
Erin - There is one candle that is always lit to help people remember the people that have died.
Beth - Rev Will and Rev Tim think that Jesus was 33 years old when he died so they ring the bell 33 times before a service.
Well done to everyone in Maple Class for your fantastic behaviour on the trip and representing the school so well!
In Maths, we have been collecting and recording data. We have learnt that data means information. We asked children in our class what their favourite colour was and recorded the information as a tally chart. We then created a bar graph on the computer to show this information.
We created our own stories in creative writing. We used props to help us think of our stories.
Kiki's story was called 'The Cafe' and included the prop of a magic key. Lola's story was called 'The Wicked Witch' and included the prop of a crown.
Well done to Bella who is taking Night home for the half term. Bella has been thinking carefully about the presentation of her handwriting. Luca is star of the week!
Happy Half Term!

NSPCC Number Day - 3.2.17
Today is NSPCC number day and we have come to school wearing different numbers to raise money to help children less fortunate than us. Thank you to everyone who brought in a donation! We have taken part in number problem solving activities throughout the day.
We have been exploring poetry in English this week. We created actions to help us learn to recite the poem 'What is Red?' by Mary O'Neill. We wrote our own colour poems using expanded noun phrases to describe what different colours reminded us of.
We have been learning about weather in Geography this week. We learnt how the weather can affect people's jobs around the school and predicted the weather using a weather forcast. We have created our own weather symbols which we will use when completing our weather charts next week.
Congratulations to Theo who is star of the week for being a fantastic listener and team player. John has taken Night home this weekend as he always tries his best.
We will be visiting St Mary's Church next week for part of our RE learning. Please make sure that you have a warm coat and comfortable shoes on Wednesday.
