Weekly Update - 19th September 2019
Miss Oates and Mrs Pawson - 19 Sep 2019
We have had yeat another great week in Oak class with lots of cycling practice, ready for the big event next week. The children have been showing us great characteristics of effective learning through their resilience and risk taking involved in learning to ride. We are unbelievably proud of them! When they bring their bikes home this week, listen out for 'scoot, scoot, push and pedal, pedal...' - this is how Dave has been teaching them to get going. Everyone in Oak class can now ride a bike with pedals, even if they say they can't! If you would like to know more about the top tips that we have been using with them then please ask us and we will be more than happy to talk to you. Tomorrow morning you are invited to our very special Bikeability Celebration Assembly at 9:15am. We will be showing off our skills and celebrating our successes! This is in place of our usual 3pm assembly. Stray FM will also be in school speaking to the children about their cycling adventures so if you can't make it into school, then listen out for us on the radio!
The children have been thoroughly engaged and enthused with colour mixing this week. They have worked with different types of paint to explore what they can do. We have created bright colours, light colurs, autumnal colurs and made wonderful pictures - check out our gallery on the wall.
We have been telling even more stories this week. The children are getting much more confident with their use of sound effects in the story as well as thinking what the characters are doing. We have even shut the book sometimes and finished the story our own way - flora and the flamingo went on a great camping trip! Keep an eye out for a letter coming home with your child about reading wordless books. We will be giving the children their own books to take home from next week and we will be inviting parents into class to share a story with us to learn how to get the most out of reading wordless books with your child.
The mud kitchen this week has been smelling delicious as the children have been exploring the herb beds to add to their muddy recipes. Some future chefs in the making!
We all received a 'wow' this week for our amazing behaviour in Church. Everyone sat so smartly, listened to their friends speaking and joined in with the prayers and songs where they could. We were bursting with pride!
PE - just a quick message to let you know that, as with all our learning, we will continue to go outside for PE as the weather changes. Please could all children have suitable trainers in school for when the weather becomes colder and muddier! We currently have PE on a Thursday but as our timetable is very flexible and follows the children's interest and needs, it could take place on any day. We are currently focusing on helping the children become independent when they are dressing as well as balcnace and ball skills.
Tomorrow is 'Jeans for Genes'. The children are invited to wear jeans or a denim alternative (along with normal school unfirom t-shirt and jumper) for a donation of £1 towards genetic charities.
