Kya has been an incredible inquirer, we were really impressed to see that she had taken her learning even further and explored the Chinese New Year. She cooked some Chinese food and lit Chinese lanterns. She has fully immersed herself in the traditions we have been exploring and it has been lovely to see.

Antonia has worked very hard this week; her cursive handwriting is becoming very neat. We have also noticed that she has been practising her reading and is becoming a much more confident communicator.

Well done, Antonia!

Lea has been a great communicator this week. She has been able to share her thoughts, feelings and opinions about the environment and deforestation giving some good reasons why rainforests are needed. She has been a risk taker, willing to answer questions and eager to learn more. Well done!

Ellie has been a great thinker, risk-taker and communicator when she shared videos of herself presenting her answers to questions as she was interviewed by her grown up. Ellie has shown so much maturity towards her work this week and her comments and opinions about deforestation has shown she is caring and open-minded too when listening and responding to the views of others.

Niya has been a great communicator this week. She has been able to share her ideas and opinions about different stereotypes. She has been in the class pod and always tries to achieve her best. Niya has been able to reflect on what she has learnt so far this week.

Harvey has always been a very active part of the Google Classroom. His work always shows what a great inquirer he is. He has shown great reflection this week by thinking of others actions and has developed his knowledge of stereotyping and has written some fantastic poems.

Well done on being an excellent thinker this week. You have inquired into networks in the local community and thought of super descriptive words to discuss how these networks are used. Keep up the great work Ethan!

Well done on being principled in your approach to your work this week Jess. You have managed your time well, to ensure you have completed all of the activities such as your super diary planning on local networks. Keep up the great work!

Robert has been using all the learner profiles this week. He has been an excellent thinker and inquirer during our work into how we know about the Battle of Hastings. He demonstrated he was knowledgeable when answering the questions of others and was a great communicator when creating his own frieze of the battle. His effort in maths has also been excellent. A great week all round. Keep up the good work, Robert. We are very proud of you!

Lilly has been a fantastic communicator, sharing the details of the Battle of Hastings in her own comic strip. She put time and effort into ensuring it was the best it could be.

Well done Lilly. Keep it up!

Luke has really impressed us with his Maths work this week. Not only has he shown us his knowledge of counting in 2s, 5s, and 10s, but he has explained what he knows to others in the group. Luke didn’t think he could count in steps beyond 100, but he took the risk and counted in 10s to 200 and 5s to 130! Luke has also applied what he knows about odd and even numbers and the 2 times table to solve problems. Keep up the good work, Luke!

Enoch has joined in with lots of small group activities this week. He has taken part in phonics, reading and practical activities with the other children, and has been using his words to clearly express his feelings and thoughts. Enoch has shown us he knows his sounds, lots of tricky words, and how to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. He has also shown us he can read most of the symbols in his communication book. Great job, Enoch!
