Parent Survey – Have your say!

Hello everyone,

As a school, we are always looking at how we can improve and offer the best education and experiences for our children as well as the support we offer parents . We would appreciate it very much if you would take the time to complete the Parent Survey through the link here.

We are looking for honest opinions and for you as parents to tell us what you like, what you think it is amazing and what needs a bit of work.

Any parent that completes the form will be entered into a prize draw for a £50 Aldi voucher, you just need to inform the Admin team that you have completed it.

The link for the survey is here, you just need to click on it:

Kind regards,

Mrs Tomlinson

Children In Need – Friday 19th November

We are asking that our whole school supports Children In Need on Friday 19th November. On this day, children are asked to come to school in their Pudsey outfits, something spotty or striped, or simply in their own clothes if they would prefer.

We will be asking all children to donate £1 to this very worthy cause.

The Big Pumpkin

In English we are learning about stories which have repeated language in them.

Here is a link to the story we are studying.

Some ideas we are exploring in class are . . .

  • Retell the story orally and write it.
  • Create character puppets and retell the story.
  • Draw the characters from the story and label them, including their features and personality traits.
  • Change the pumpkin to a different vegetable.
  • Plan a new story! Set it somewhere different; under the sea, in the forest, in dinosaur land. Once upon a time there was a whale and he planted some seaweed . . .

Watch this version.

There is no narration! Can your child narrate the story?

Can you child create a dance to the story and use the music to help them?

 

In art we have been describing, sketching and making clay pumpkins!

A scarily good time reading at forest school!

Today in year 1 we were inspired by the story of Room on the Broom by Julia Donaldson.

The witch had dropped her things all over the forest! We hunted for them and wrote where they were! We hope she reads our writing back and comes to collect them!

Children also enjoyed reading a recipe and making pumpkin pizza!

They designed and made brooms! We had witches flying everywhere!
