We are so proud of how well our Nursery children have settled.  They have been having great fun making new friends and exploring both the inside and outside learning environments.

Our Reception children have had a wonderful first full week at school.  We read 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' and we have had fun retelling the story and making our own books. We have been making patterns and building cars and houses in the outside area. 

Year 1 have had a busy week. 

In English they have been writing daily about 'Meesha makes friends', describing what she looks like and writing sentences about her, trying to remember capital letters and finger spaces. This week we have started whole class maths, using part-part whole models finding all the ways to make 5. They even completed their first piece of work in their journals, they were really pleased with themselves. 

In geography they learnt new vocabulary of human and physical features. 

Please ask them and see if they can remember what they are. We also looked at our local area - Worcester Park and the children explored what they might see on their route to school. 

Acting like artists, they made spirals with their whole body before listening to music and making spirals fast or slow, loud or quiet using paint, pastels and chalk.  

It has been wonderful seeing their personalities blossom this week.  Well done Year 1.

Acting as mathematicians Year Two have been working with multiples of 10 this week.  They have explored what happens when we subtract ten less from a number. We also used known facts to add and subtract.

Acting like scientists, Year Two have been observing animals and classifying them into groups.  Thank you Mrs Harris for finding us lots of animals to look at closely and providing super non-fiction books for our scientific research.
