Weekly update 15th April 2021
Gemma Pawson - 15 Apr 2021
Welcome back everyone to the summer term! It sounds as though we have all had a super Easter holiday with plenty of chocolate treats!
We have had a busy and adventurous week this week. Our learnimg has been inspired by a fallen tree branch and a very funny blackbird! Our fallen branch has been turned into a treehouse, which after reading the book 'How to build a treehouse' we have planned, built, played with and even shared with Mrs Taylor, who had hot chocolate and cake with us around the camp fire! Mrs Pawson needed to be rescued from the shark infested waters of the treehouse pool! The birds nest has been facinating to watch, we have to try and keep still and quiet to watch the birds at work, which has been a challenge! We have decided that the blackbird is a super learner because she does not give up, however she needs to learn from her mistakes! She has built her nest in a corner and it keeps falling down, she flies off to find more nest building materials but the same keeps happening and she never uses the fallen twigs always collects new ones! We think that building a nest is hard work! We have tried to build some of our own!
We have had some 'shine like a star' writing this week, we have written some super sentences inspired by our book Ruby's Worry. We have talked lots about the worry that Ruby has it is making her feel anxious, she has tried to escape it but it keeps following her! We are wondering what she will do next? We can't wait to finish the book next week!
In maths we are exploring numbers to 10 and beyond this week with lots of number games. Today we learnt an interesting fact about the number 11 and we talked about how 11 is 1 whole ten and 1 one. Mrs Pawson treated us to a Numberblooks magazine, which we have loved exploring as well!
We have, as always been reading lots of great books and poems this week. Sharing some of our old favourites and discovering a few new books too. We all enjoy sharing a good book, especially one that we have written ourselves!
Mrs Pawson is very proud of us all this week as we have come back to school with an amazing attitude to all of our learning, we have even more faces on our Recognition Board for showing our Christian values of love, kindness, patience and peace. We have earnt some Dojo's for our teams too, which makes us feel proud! This half term we are thinking about the value of kindness in our Collective Worship time, we have already had lots of ideas about what kindness means to us and how we can see kindness in our community. There have been some super 'shine like a star' moments of kindness and love this week in Acorn Class. Well done everyone!
I am really looking forward to our adventures next week, we already have lots of ideas about the things we would like to explore and investigate, Mrs Pawson is slightly worried that we will not have enough time for all of our amazing learning, perhaps we will need to make a time machine too! Have a super weekend everyone and get plenty of early nights ready for next weeks adventure, I can't wait!
