Christmas concert - the next few songs

Thank you for learning the songs from last week and please continue to prioritise this, along with learning the following songs:

RE

This week we have been discussing how it feels to be given an important job. Year 3 shared that they feel trusted, special and helpful to name but a few. We then looked at the moment Mary was chosen by God, to be the mother of His Son, when she was visited by Angel Gabriel. You homework this week is to research how different artists have drawn or painted this moment (the Annunciation). Next week we will use these ideas to create our own artwork to depict the Annunciation.

Maths - IXL

Please complete A8 and B1

Year 6 Home Learning 2.12.22

Spelling

This week our focus is on the PREFIXES ‘re’ and ‘pre’. Both of these prefixes are from Latin origins- can you tell us next week what the meaning of these prefixes are? How does that help you understand unfamiliar words? You will be quizzed on words with these prefixes next week.

Can you collect examples of them in your homework books?

Please complete the IXL strands U1 and U2.

Your quiz will be picked from random on words with these prefixes.

Maths

Complete the Missing Numbers Puzzles in your homework books to reinforce what we have been learning in class!

Christmas songs.

You should all have your singing booklets now with all our Christmas songs, this should come back and forth to school to ensure we learn all the words to each song. You also should now have learnt your lines/ scripture and should now be at the stage where you are practising speaking slowly, clearly and loudly enough. We will be going to church for the first time on Tuesday and I will expect all of you to know your words off by heart.

Please make it a real priority to learn your lines and the words to the next 3 songs we practiced this week. There are two videos below with all three songs you can sing along to at home. Two of the songs are KS2 signing but the other is of Andrea Bocelli and Céline Dion, singing The Prayer. Remember Year 6, that we are singing the English echo, not the Italian.

Year 6 Weekly Blog- “Peace begins with a smile” Mother Teresa

It is hard to believe that we are now coming up to week 2 of Advent, the week of Peace. This week, we were welcomed to school with the beautiful reminder that Christmas is coming- the tree was decked in the hall and displays were up to remind us all of this special time. Of course, Nativity practices are also now in full flow, which teaches us the real reason of our celebration, how a a baby was born to us, that would one day, save us all.

Peace, this week, has been at the forefront of our RE lessons and worship. Our RE topic is such a reflective unit of work, as we ask the children to reflect on the injustices within our world today. They are often surprised that some of the situations still occur. We spent Tuesday and Wednesday reflecting on a poem about the plight of refugees in our world. Why not read the poem and see what you think?

They have no need of our help
So do not tell me
These haggard faces could belong to you or me
Should life have dealt a different hand
We need to see them for who they really are
Chancers and scroungers
Layabouts and loungers
With bombs up their sleeves
Cut-throats and thieves
They are not
Welcome here
We should make them
Go back to where they came from
They cannot
Share our food
Share our homes
Share our countries
Instead let us
Build a wall to keep them out
It is not okay to say
These are people just like us
A place should only belong to those who are born there
Do not be so stupid to think that
The world can be looked at another way.

Now read the poem backwards. What a powerful poem with a really significant meaning. The discussion around this and the empathy the children showed was so humbling, what a group of compassionate and intentional children you have.

Following this lesson, the children have written their own poems about refugees. These are going up on our worship board next week, so we will show you them next week.

In Maths, we have been continuing to work hard on our reasoning and applying of missing numbers. We have also looked at the strategy of redistribution and have even started our shape work with Mrs Nel. This week we have learnt that one of the main characters in our novel has gone missing, and the children have predicted many different theories as to where he has gone. We can’t wait to find out!

Year 6 have loved Art this week, giving them the chance to get really creative with all of the recycled ‘rubbish’ we have brought in, to create many different creations to go in our whole school Christmas scene. We can’t wait to see it put all together …

Leading Learners

Well done to Lena and Mason this week.

Lena, Wow Lena you know how to work your socks off! You have such resilience, stickibility and a desire to succeed, it’s contagious! Keep enjoying your learning and giving it your everything.

Mason, we have been so impressed with your focus during our writing this week! You have really set your mind to it, been extremely determined and created a beautiful piece of descriptive writing. This was also evident in your WONDERFUL History research for homework, where we saw that creative flair really come to life! Keep working on your resilience Mason and you will fly!

Prophetic and Intentional butterflies

This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are intentional with their actions, who make deliberate choices for the good of others. Those that are prophetic, who may stand up to injustice for the greater good even when it is difficult to do so. These children are the role models of the school, who may march to the beat of a different drummer, but who make a big difference not just to our class, but to our school. This week we thank Grace.

Helpers in the mornings:

This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:

Mason Grace Steph Amber

Notices

We are out and about a lot next week, doing various rehearsals in church. Please could you make sure children have a warm coat and hat each day to keep warm.

We have decided as a school not to send individual Christmas cards to each other, but to instead collect this money for…… Children can if they wish, write one card for the whole class.

Next Friday 9th December- Please wear Christmas colours and spread the Christmas cheer- we just ask if you could to donate £1 towards CAFOD World Gifts.

Our Christmas performance is in church on Thursday 15th December at 2pm and 7pm.

Year 1 Weekly Blog 2.12.22

This week we have continued our Science topic, looking at the structures of a variety of common animals and discussing the similarities and differences. We have also grouped these animals into carnivores, herbivores and omnivores.

 In RE we have been discussing Advent, we know it is a time when we prepare to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. We created our own advent wreath and discussed that the circle of evergreen branches is a reminder that God does not change. A new candle is lit each Sunday during Advent until all four candles are burning. Each candle has a different meaning. The final white candle is lit on Christmas day to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Each Monday we are lighting our candle to show the passing of time and our closeness to Jesus’ Birthday.

 We have also discussed the journey Mary and Joseph took to Bethlehem and that the shepherds were the first to hear about the birth of Jesus. We interviewed the shepherds. Year 1 asked them lots of curious questions such as: 

How did you feel when you saw the angels? “We felt shocked and surprised.”

What did the angels tell you to do? “The angels told us to go and find baby Jesus.”

How did you get to the stable? “We followed the star in the sky.”

What was it like when you saw baby Jesus? “It was wonderful and exciting!”

When you left the stable, what did you do? “We told everyone the good news.”

 We have enjoyed lots of practical Maths this week investigating the number 10. We also finished off our measuring unit by asking some challenging questions such as can you find me something that weighs more than a glue stick but less than the scissors? Which is longer three rubbers of two pairs of scissors?

 On Thursday when we arrived to school, we discovered an advent calandar and some wrapped presents. Each day two children will get to open the advent door for a treat and to find out what our advent promise will be for the evening or the next day. It may be something like saying hello to everyone or helping out at home. Ask your child if they can remember what the advent promise is for the day? We found out that the presents are Christmas books and we are excited to find out what book it will be each day and listen to a story before we go home.

 Let’s Celebrate:

Well done to our certificate awardees:

Lizzie Ladybird you have been a determined learner in our handwriting sessions, practising your letter formations and taking your time when writing.

Sadie Spider You have worked hard in your Read Write Inc sessions and listening well during carpet input.

Year 5 Weekly Blog- 'Trust has to be earned and should only come after the passage of time'

It’s hard to believe that we are now closer to the end of term than the start. It has been another exciting and fun filled week with lots of learning.

In Maths, we are coming to the end of our number focus with decimals and are moving onto money. With all of the knowledge and understanding that the children have built up with decimals, I have no doubt that they will smash our money topic.

In English, we have been recapping conjunctions and how they are used in sentences as we have been discussing causal conjunctions. Over the next few weeks, children will be identifying different types of conjunctions in texts and then including these in their own pieces of writing.

We have also started our new class novel ‘Cloud Busting’ which the children have been excited and engaged with. The book is poetic and is written in verse, which also includes some Haikus poetry, a Japanese style of poetry that focuses on a limited amount of syllables.

Let’s Celebrate

Nicola for being a focused learner: Nicola is always making the right choice in the classroom. She is always the first person I see sat quietly when the noise stats to get louder. She is an example of how we should behave in class, in which she also helps her classmates to not make the wrong choice.

Betsy for being a enthusiastic learner: Betsy has such a positive attitude whenever she enters the classroom which is reflected in her learning. She is never afraid to ask for help when needed and still maintains a positive attitude when she is struggling. Her attitude means she is a brilliant classmate and works really well in partner activities.

Notices

School trip- Our school trip to Lytham Hall is on Monday 28th November. Please can all children be at school for 8:30pm as we need to leave earlier to catch our train. Children will be in their own clothes so please make sure they are weather appropriate. We will be back before the school day finishes so pick ups will be as normal. We will be back in time for music so can children still bring their clarinets in.

Swimming- The children did not finish their water safety lessons in year 4. Their final swimming lesson will be on Thursday 15th December. Please can children arrive at school at 8:30pm with their swimming costume and pajamas.

Christmas concert- Will be on Thursday 15th December. This will be done at church and the two times for the concert are 2pm and 7pm.

Year 1 Weekly Blog 25.11.22

This week we continued with our science activities focusing on animals, we have identified and classified them into: mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and birds.

 In RE we learnt about Mary’s visit to her cousin Elizabeth. As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary, her baby leaped with joy. Elizabeth said that Mary and her baby were very blessed by God. We reflected on the good news and drew a picture of Mary and Elizabeth and explained what had happened.

 We have continued measuring in Maths, we love all the practical activities and when we were weighing we discovered that sometimes the biggest object isn’t always the heaviest. We have also been focusing on the number 8, ask your child how many different ways they can make 8? Or if I have… how many more do I need to make 8? Practise the stem sentence 8 is made of ….. and …./…. and …. make 8.

Today we had a whole class art lesson together, we create our own winter trees, don’t they look amazing :).

 KidSafe

 We had our fifth KidSafe session this week about what to do if your trusted adults are arguing and how this can make us feel. We also recapped the last four sessions and the children evaluated their understanding of this important learning.

Please click the button below to find out more details about this session.

Maths IXL:

This week in Maths we have been focusing on the number 8 and countinued measuring. To consolidate their learning of counting, here are some IXL challenges for your child to have a go at. see this as an ongoing learning challenge and certainly not to be completed by next Thursday.

Ask your child to compare measurements at home by askings questions such as: who is taller/shorter? Which is longer/shorter? can you find me something which is longer than this, but shorter than this? Can you compare a few objects which is ? (longest/shortest/tallest/shortest)

How many different ways can you make 8? If I have 4 how many more do we need? Practise these stem sentences at home: 8 is made of ….. and …./ ….. and …. make 8. We have been really impressed with how quickly the children can work out the answers.

Measurement:

1.      Long and short

2.      Tall and short

3.      Wide and narrow

4.      Light and heavy

5.      Holds more or less

This week...

Another lovely week at nursery, even though everyone appears to be a little‘under the weather’. Nonetheless, we have battled through and got to Friday with smiles on our faces.

We have started to talk about Advent and what that means in the Christian calendar. Everyone is very excited about getting ready for Baby Jesus’ birthday…we have already started to make preparations! More on that next week.

On Friday we went in to the school hall to sing our Christmas songs alongside Reception…we are getting very good!!

Ooodle of noodles!

We had great fun on Monday. We coloured some noodles pink and some noodles blue! We then practiced our snipping skills until they were all cut into tiny, tiny pieces. Take a look!

Nativity

If you have not completed your order form (the form is on last weeks blog) you will need to do it a.s.a.p., as the school office needs to calculate numbers. If you can send in money to nursery when tickets have been allocated that would be great!

Your key person should have emailed you this week about parts for the Nativity, and if you need to provide anything. If there are any problems just let me know.

Worship

This week through Mollie the Cat and Billy Bird talking about their respective journeys from kitten/egg to adult animals, we explored the natural human cycle of life, focusing on what we could remember about our development so far and what we know will happen as we get older. This was underpinned by the religious understanding that growing up is part of God’s plan for our lives and that we are loved by Him at every life stage. Click on the button below to see the slides.

Growing up

Michelle’s blog

Hello, 

We have had such a busy week. Our rehearsals for our Nativity are really have coming along, we can't wait to perform for you all. Hopefully you seen the message on last week’s blog about how to get tickets. We are getting so good at singing and doing all the actions. 

Thank you to everyone for your generous donations to our Children in Need Pyjama Day, it was such fun coming to nursery in our pyjamas and with our teddies too.  

We are really working hard to learn our letter sounds, and this week we have begun to learn some new sounds. Here is a quick reminder of the sounds, remember it’s the pure sounds your child needs to learn e.g., ‘mm’ not ‘muh’  Click here

We have spent some time this week playing games with our friends. It's so important that we can learn to take turns but sometimes it's just so hard waiting when we want to win! We do have to remember that we can't win all the time. The shopping game is our favourite this week, but we have also played outside games and games on the computer too. Some ideas for games to play at home. Click here.   

This week in PE we have further explored our feelings with the Cherry Tots. Our favourite cherry is still Cheeky Cherry and we love it when the cherries dance together at the end. Doing PE gives us the opportunity to practise putting our shoes and socks on, at first this was so tricky but we keep practising and we are getting better every week.  

Although the weather wasn’t great this week, we have still managed to get out for lots of outdoor play. We can't believe that we still have so many Ladybirds in our nursery garden, and we have also seen some slugs and spiders too. Maybe you can go on a mini best hunt in your garden, I’m sure there are lots of creepy crawlies hiding out there. 

Have a lovely weekend everyone and we will see you all next week!

Hello everyone.

We have been practising our songs this week for our wonderful nativity and Nursery Ladies are trying very hard to remember the actions that go with the songs….we definitely need more practise. I wonder if your child can sing you any of the songs.     The cast list has been finalised and now we truly cannot wait to tell you the wonderful Christmas story.

We have been looking closely at the number 4 and understanding how many different ways we can make 4 (e.g. 2+2, 1+3, 4+0) the children can do this by using their fingers. Click here to watch numberblocks. We have been singing lots of number songs about sausages sizzling in the pan, current buns in the bakers shop and our favourite 5 bananas on the banana tree. Numbers have been everywhere!! Even the number monkeys have been sneaking off from their usual spot and have hidden themselves all around nursery (the children just keep on finding them…they are almost too good!!!!)

Have a lovely weekend!

Steph’s blog

Hello everyone!

What a week we have had with the weather – we’ve been inside, then outside then inside again! We loved seeing a rainbow on Wednesday and spoke about all the colours we could see.

We have continued to make up funny stories this week – we wrote a story about a cat that went on the bus and then wrote a letter! The children have great imaginations! We also had a go at sorting objects based on their initial sounds, using the 5 sounds we have learnt so far (m, a, d, s and t). The children are working hard to listen for the sound at the beginning of a word.

We have continued looking at Number 4. The children are coming up with all the different ways to make 4, they have shown us on their fingers and also with gems under cups! They have been trying to trick the nursery ladies by moving the gems around under the cups – but somehow the total is always 4! We have also been doing some lovely work for our Numberblocks display in the classroom.

PE has been great fun this week. We have looked at different ways of moving – we danced with ribbons and we also had a go at walking on benches and jumping off the raised platforms. Some of us were a bit wary but very proud when we did it!

Have a lovely weekend and I’ll see you on Monday

Steph

…and a few extras from Justine!

As you can see it’s been another fun week at nursery…we can’t wait for next week!

Have a restful weekend…it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

God Bless

Year 6 Weekly Blog - 'Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of victory.'

And in the blink of an eye…another week in Year 6 has passed. From the minute that the children walk into class in the morning to the moment that they walk out of the door, they are constantly learning and challenging themselves to be the best that they can be. It really astounds me just how much work that the children have completed. As we approach Advent, and the birth of Jesus Christ, we continue to strive to be prophetic and intentional in our actions, which are our two virtues this half term.

Learning is always fast paced in Year 6 and this week has been no exception. This week it has been all about our writing! Every day, the children have taken a paragraph/ event from our class novel and we have either written our very own as a class or the they have independently innovated the main ideas to create their own paragraph. The next day, they look at the feedback they have been given and challenge themselves to meet this target. Wow, what wonderful writing they have created. They have all worked so hard and produced such depth, trying hard to blend their description, dialogue and action throughout.

We have been writing stories in Maths too this week. Funny, you may think, but they have really helped us to understand addition and subtraction calculations. The children have really enjoyed this and it has helped them to understand what calculation is required in the word problems. In RE, we have continued our topic on Injustice, researching and writing about Oscar Romero, who recognized the injustices of his country and who fought to overcome these. Ask the children to tell you what they have learnt about him.

Leading Learners

Well done to Olivia and James this week.

Olivia, We have loved reading your writing this week. Your creativity and ability to hook the reader in and entertain them with your words, is beautiful. You have been so creative with your descriptions that we felt like we were actually IN your story- You had us hooked! You have also controlled the pace of your writing creatively with your precise punctuation and variation of sentence lengths, just at the right time. Thank you for working so hard and sharing your writing with the class. 

James, you are so focused on your learning and always engaged, ready to learn and answer any questions thrown your way!  You listen to the learning, reflect, manage any distractions extremely well and challenge yourself in your work. You work so hard to improve and hit your targets every day and this is reflected in your work. A big well done James- keep up the great work!

Prophetic and Intentional butterflies

This half term we will be on the lookout for all the children that are intentional with their actions, who make deliberate choices for the good of others. Those that are prophetic, who may stand up to injustice for the greater good even when it is difficult to do so. These children are the role models of the school, who may march to the beat of a different drummer, but who make a big difference not just to our class, but to our school. This week we thank Steph and Kai.

Helpers in the mornings:

This week we have the following children helping to take the younger children to their class:

Amber Holly Jessica Lena

Year 3 Weekly Blog 25.11.22 - "Hope is but the dream of those who wake."

As we begin our journey through Advent, we have all created our own Advent promises. These are things that we will aim to do during these weeks before Christmas… our gift to Jesus. We hope to help make our world a better place, some of us are starting with helping our families somehow, others are being more mindful about worldly issues such as helping keep wildlife safe through picking up of litter. Please ask your child what they have decided they want to do this Advent… maybe this is something you could do as a family.

We have continued to be super excited to discover more about dragons in English! This week we have looked closely at a dragon which has been spotted in the North-West, the Manchester Ridge-back. We have looked closely at the non-chronological report, made a story map to help us remember the key information, created detailed diagrams and discovered what the key features are of this non-chronological report. We have certainly been busy!

On Wednesday the children came buzzing back from their art lesson. Each child has helped to create the most wonderful Christmas village, by upcycling different plastic and cardboard items. It is lovely to see their creativity and how they have chosen to represent different things. I am sure that you will be seeing their creations in a few weeks time when they are proudly brought home at the end of the term.

Let’s celebrate…

Charlotte for being a … Brave and Co-operative learner! We were so proud to watch you this week, working alongside your learning partners so beautifully. It was lovely to hear you reflect on your math learning on Tuesday and Thursday. You shared with the class how your partner had helped you with a tricky challenge and explained how much you valued this co-operation. You have taken on challenges this week and really pushed yourself. Well done Charlotte!

Hugo for being a … Co-operative learner! You are so thoughtful Hugo and have shown this even more this week! You are able to think of others and how they are feeling, finding solutions so that others feel happy and valued. When moving places this week you noticed that a friend felt more comfortable in your space, you recognised this and selflessly asked to find another seat, this was so kind and helpful! You are a great learning partner and your kind actions help to make our classroom a happy place. Thank you Hugo!
