Sharing Assembly Week

Sorry we have not posted a blog for a few weeks. This was because it was slightly broken but Richard has fixed for us.


This week we did our sharing assembly. Most of us spoke about our learning. We sang a song called 'Build it High' and we showed work and music.


This week in Maths we have been dividing numbers. Today was Maths problem solving day. We thought it was fun because we liked doing the activities.


Last week some caterpillars arrived. This week they have started to hatch, one hatched during Maths, one during Learning Through Play and one over night. We are still waiting for 2 more.


We have been thinking about change and being in year 2. We have meet Miss Hoad a few times and this week we visited the classroom. We are looking forward to going in to Year 2.


Tomorrow is Strawberry Fayre - it would be lovely to see you all as we have a pot that you can buy.

New Summer Term

This week in English we have been writing, creating story plans and we wrote the story of The Runaway Chapati. We also wrote about what we did in the Easter Holidays, we call this a recount.


On Thursday we wrote a card to the Queen because it was her birthday. She was 90 years old.


Miss Hawkes has joined Oak Class because she is learning to be a teacher.


Today we dressed up in Sports clothes because we have been thinking about the Fun Run and keeping healthy. We also did 4 long runs on the field. Before that we planted seeds for our new meadow.

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

Rehearsal Week

We have had a busy week this week. We have been in treetops and back into Oak class enjoying our lovely new windows.
We have been doing lots of rehearsals for our Year One Easter play called Rise and Shine, which we are looking forward to performing next week.
This week in Maths we have been looking at time. We have made a big clock outside and made o'clock and half past times.
In English we worked hard, finding some rhyming words. We wrote our own version of Hickory Dickory Dock.


Today was Sport Relief Day and we all came dressed in our sport clothes. We then ran around the school for our sponsored school run.

Window Week

This week we started practicing our Spring Play, it is called 'Rise and Shine'.


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.


REMINDERS
Oak Class will be in Treetops on Monday and Tuesday.
Costumes for the play are due in on Thursday.

Data week

This week in Maths we have been recording data. We asked people questions and created pictograms and tally charts.


In RE we read the creation story and some of us painted a picture about this in Learning Through Play.


On Monday we wrote our own Katie Morag book. We tried to use capital letters, full stops and speech marks all the time.


In PE we have started to learn our new skills with tennis. We had to throw the ball and try and hit it with the racquet. We also tried to balance the ball.


This week Oak Class got the golden bell which means we get an extra 5 minutes play time next week.


REMINDER
Building work on our new windows will start next week. Please read the letters about this
