Today, we have been exploring the film The Present. This beautiful short film will be the basis of our new writing unit. The story will also link nicely to our new expedition based around the question of ‘What is the most valuable gift we can give?’

Today’s HoWL average 2.7

Our HoWL target is: 3.2

How can we develop  As a crew, we need to ensure that we are working hard all day to really achieve the minimum expectations in each lesson.

Howl Hero

Keaton. He has been amazing today when working with the column method for subtraction

RWI Reading

Yesterday we had most children read. We have read with the remaining few. This is great progress, but please could I ask everyone to continue encouraging their children to read.

Thank you!

Another great day!

Highlight of the day

Today we started a street dance unit in PE! We showed Coach Cara our best street poses and practiced our super street walks! I think we’re going to have a lot of fun in PE and be super cool dances by the end 🕺🏻

HOWLs

Todays HOWL average is 3

Today our HOWL heroes are…

🌟 Work hard – Rome

🌟 Get smart – Sasha

🌟 Be kind – Ellie-May

What a fabulous start back to school we have had! I’ve been really impressed how the children have progressed with recognising their own name and they have been really keen to begin to write it too, practising their pencil grip and working really hard! If you can keep practising with your child at home to recognise their name this will really support them with their progress in school!

This week, we are doing some work around bonfire night, which the children have been really enthusiastic about! We have began to make our rockets with Mrs Mason, where we have discussed shapes and colours too! We had lots of fun mark making some fireworks today with chalk. The children experimented with different colours, drawing different lines and shapes.

At story time we listened to the story ‘The Gruffalo’s Child’. We then talked about what the Gruffalo looked like and what shapes we could see he is made up of, then had a go at drawing him. I was absolutely blown away with the work the children produced, they worked incredibly hard to form circles and lines. I can’t wait to see how well they progress with this 🌟
