This week we have been spending time practicing our sentence writing skills. We have been writing these independently then sharing our sentences with the rest of the class. Our big focus has been on using our ‘tappy pencil’ and tapping each word we have written to help us know what our next word is to write. We have been blown away with the children’s independence this week, it’s been amazing to see their growth in confidence during these lessons!
Reception visited Church to look for key items within Church. They worked extremely hard and could discuss the items found.
This week Year 4 started their new English unit. We are participating in National Storytelling Week and on Monday we had a live lesson with author Tola Okogwu who wrote the exciting ‘Onyeka’ series. She gave us some top tips on how to create our own stories. We can wait to see characters and stories unfold this week.
Year 5 continued their topic on singing and playing in different styles. In this lesson they focused on the tempo of a song and began to perform the song through singing and playing on the glockenspiels.
This week is storytelling week and Nursery were greeted with a very exciting box.
