Instructions
We have had a very busy week.......

We decorated the school Christmas tree today and we started to learn about the Christmas story. Rev Tim also visited the whole school to tell us about the story too. We have also had a special assembly about water.

Sharing Assembly Week
This week we have been learning about Castles. Some castles have moats and the King and Queen live in the Keep. Castles are build on hill so that they can see their enemies. Castles keep people safe.
Throughout the week we have been working hard to make our decoration for the Christmas Bazaar. We hope that you will like them because we do!
Today we did our sharing assembly. We thought we did really well. Did you like it? We spent time practicing our lines to that we could remember them.
Just to let you know, the library is now open on a Thursday and Friday before school. It would be lovely to see some of you there.

Fantastic Fireworks!
We've had lots of fun with our learning this week.
In maths, we have been saying how many tens and ones are in a number.
18 has got 1 ten and 8 1s - Leo
In PSHE, we have been thinking about who is special to us. Rio enjoyed writing about his family.
This week, it has been Nursery Rhyme Week. Max brought in a book full of Nursery Rhymes and we have enjoyed reading them.
We have also been creating poems about fireworks. We wrote our poem, and then edited it by writing it in the shape of a firework. This is called a calligram.
In Phonics, we have been trying hard to write our words properly. Jake says it has helped him to look at the yellow part to find out what he needs to change.
This morning, we watched Maple's Sharing Assembly. Ethan thought it was interesting, he enjoyed the singing. Bella thought the girls' fireworks dance was epic. Well done, Maple Class.
This week, we have been thinking about our friendships. The Star Award is for someone who has been good at helping their friends at lunchtime. Well done to Harry!
Barney is going home with Sam for showing a really good attitude to his learning this week. Have a great weekend with Barney, Sam!

Last Week of Term - RE week
This week at school we have been celebrating Mrs Byrne's Birthday. We gave her presents and cards. We sang a song, and we changed some of the words at the end for Mrs Byrne.
This week we planted our class potatoes. We hope they will grow and that we can eat some delicious potatoes.
Yesterday was RE day. We were learning about Easter and Holi. We did some Indian dancing and made some cakes. We drew around each other and threw paint. This is because Holi is a celebration of colour. There are some pictures of this on our web page.
This week we did some Art work using ideas from Stephen Wiltshire. We looked at pictures of Redbourn from the past and then had a go at drawing our own picture.
EASTER CHALLENGE -
all children would have had a letter about the Easter Challenge. If you would like to take part the entrance fee is £1 and you need to create an little garden.
Mrs Tavender and Mrs Carey would like to wish you a relaxing and happy Easter Holiday. xx

On Tuesday and Wednesday we had our new windows put in. They look nice and lovely. They really make a difference, we think the classroom feels warmer. We are really lucky because we now have a new area in our classroom. We can't use it at the moment, we will have to wait a month.
In Maths we have used directional and positional language. This means we have used the words, forwards, backwards, sideways, left, right, diagonally, half turn, whole turn and quarter turns.
For creative writing this week, we wrote a story about a magic bean.

First blog of the Year
Last week we went to Forest Schools. At Forest School we used our senses to explore. In the muddy kitchen we had herbs to smell and add to our mixtures. It was a very muddy day and a little bit cold.
Our new topic this term is Inside Out. Oak Class would like to learnt about inside the body, inside your brain, outside of houses, outside of trees, inside our clothes and lots more.
In English we have started to learn about non-chronological reports. Non-chronological reports have sub-headings, a title, include information and might have a photo. The information can be written in any order.
In Maths we have been looking at numbers. We chose a number and then recorded a number that was bigger and smaller than it.
