Hello Reception! Bonnie the dog and I have been gardening today and decided to set you a challenge using our empty trellis! Can you sound out the words and work out which are real and which are alien words? I hope you are all having a lovely time at home. I’ve enjoyed looking at some of the work that you have been doing using your new Purple Mash log ins! Mrs Branch x
George has had a busy day . He has done some Mathletics, done some Cosmic Kids Minecraft Yoga ,some code breaking and all sorts! He hasn’t stopped !
Today Cooper started with PE and then he did a few lessons . He did some den building outside for a lunch break . Well done Cooper ! We all love that you still want to wear your uniform!
Today Bronte and Fraser had a day in the forest . They set up a sign for their new school, spotted signs of Spring and cooked their own lunch . Fraser was helped by his big sister Bronte in Year 5
Base 8 have been working incredibly hard this week.
In English they have been writing and performing rhyming poems and in Maths they have worked hard with fractions and are very good at halving shapes and numbers.
Reception children have been outside this morning planting carrots and onions.
They have been working on predictions and after doing some planting have been asked to predict what plants need to grow and how long will it take for them to change.
There were some lovely answers.
“I know that it turns into a seedling when it starts to grow”
“We need to wait for summer and rain”
“They can grow flowers and food”
“They will need water to grow”
And my personal favourite
“It will take a long time!”
In the coming weeks, children will be planting potatoes outside too, with a view to entering them in the Newport Show schools competition – how exciting!
Reception, Year One and Year Two have visited the Sikh Gurdwara today.
We were welcomed in and shown where Sikhs pray, and we heard about what is important in a Sikh person’s life.
We had the opportunity to listen to a reading from the special Sikh book which we learnt is called the Guru Granth Sahib.
We learnt about the 5 K’s that are important to Sikh people. We were treated to a song by some of the Sikh community. We were also very lucky to be able to hear the start of a 48 hour reading from the Guru Granth Sahib. One of our children was shown how to wear a turban.
Just before we left , we were given drinks and snacks. The children really enjoyed the visit.

A few photographs of the children learning about each other’s characters yesterday.
How can we help Chicken Licken?!
The children worked in the classroom to make containers for the eggs so that it wouldn’t break when it fell from the sky.
Then they went out onto the playground and put it to the test!
Year One are working on number bonds to 10.
Yesterday the children worked in groups outside on the playground. They each had a number and had to stand next to someone to make their number bond. This was a fun activity and really helped the children understand the number bonds.
Following on from that, today they are working in class to solve word problems using their knowledge of number bonds to 10.
The aims of the lesson are:
It would be great if you could work on number bonds to 10 with the children at home to help them with their learning!
