HAPPY NEW YEAR! This term in English we are looking at the story The Lighthouse Keepers Lunch. As part of our hook to the new story we had a letter from Mr Grinling, asking us to concoct a disgusting sandwich and that is what we did. It was such fun. This is also the story map that we are following. We are working super hard on it.
Today was our last day of term. We have had lots of fun, playing games, having a bit of a party and watching Christmas films.We even got to see Santa. It was so magical!
Well done to these children for receiving 100% attendance for this term! 🌟
Cameron has had lots of fun at the weekend with Remi the Reading Rabbit and George with Monty the Maths Monkey, they both shared what they did with their friends in Yellow Class.

We have had a super busy week in Yellow class. In Maths we have been learning all about money, recognising the different coins and notes and finding different amounts and the difference in amounts. We have also been adding pounds and pence together. For example, £2 +5p +20p +£5 = £7 and 25p. In English this week, we have been looking at the different features that are needed to be included in a set of instructions, such as a title, introduction, using time connectives, imperative /bossy verbs, making sure it is in chronological order and a final note of thought. As part of this, we have been sorting some jumbled instructions into the correct order and then we have been making our very own Christmas cards, thinking about the steps we have taken and then we had a go at writing our own instructions. We did a fantastic job!

Congratulations to all these children who have been working hard on Reading Eggs
We had a wonderful day out on Tuesday, visiting Derby County Football stadium at Pride Park in Derby.
We had a tour around the stadium and grounds and found some very interesting facts. Looking at the differences between the home and away changing rooms, then walking down the tunnel onto the pitch. We were able to sit in the dug out and Jessica sat in Frank Lampard’s seat. Later we met Rammie the Derby County mascot before entering a colouring competition to win two tickets for a future match.
To start off a new term in English we have begun to use our imaginations to think about our wishes. We started by watching a clip from The film Mary Poppins. We watched the part where Mary, Bert and the children jump into the chalk drawings that Bert drew onto the pavement of the places he wished he could visit.
In class the children were given their own piece of magic chalk and a large sheet of black sugar paper. They were asked to use their imaginations and draw somewhere they wished they could go.
Take a look at our wonderful chalk drawings. Can you guess we we all want to go?
This week we have been reading books written by Ronda and David Armitage. The Lighthouse keeper’s Lunch, The Lighthouse Keeper’s Christmas were our favourite two books. So during D&T week we designed, built and evaluated our own lighthouse.Take a look at our hard work below.
Remi the reading rabbit had a very relaxing time with Jessica at her house. Jessica read books to her mums and Remi.
Monty the maths monkey had an interesting time at Ashton’s house, he was helping Ashton and his dad measure for some new shelves in their house. I hope it went well Ashton!
A great big well done to all these children for their hard work on
Reading Eggs and Mathletics.

GUIDED READING
During guided reading we shared books with our partners. We used our new book corner to find books that our friend would be interested in. Then we began to create our very own story using ideas from the books that we had shared.
Well done to star writer and star reader this week

Yellow Class have been busy thinking about different sentences in English this week. We now know how to write a question, exclamation and command sentence.
In Topic we have been thinking about the different materials the school is made of. We went outside and took rubbings of slate, bricks and glass. We then used these rubbings to create a collage picture of the school.
Material Rubbings
Yellow Class have made a great start back to the school year.
Our topic is:
Can we go back to the future?
We have enjoyed looking at maps of the school, learning about question and exclamation sentences in English and looking at place value in maths.
