In year 6 we are writing a set of instructions based around the story of Pog.

Today we looked at creating our own creatures where we looked at its weaknesses, described how we would defeat it and labelled all of its features. We had loads of fun designing our hideous creatures and can’t wait to start writing our fantastic instructions.

Year 1 have been using their ‘tappy pencil’ to write some super sentences this week..! 

This week we have been learning about how to divide a 2 digit number by a 1 digit number. We used our place value counters and place value table to support us with solving the calculations. 

Over the last two weeks Year 4 have been designing and making a Christmas tree decoration for the Christmas trees in St John’s Church. They have created a design brief, a mood board and studied the work of Cath Kidston. They then created their own designs which they sewed and decorated. Today during our visit to church they were able to put them onto the tree. Well done Year 4, your decorations were amazing!

This week we have been designing and making our own pop up Christmas cards. We learnt how to make different mechanisms and created our own Christmas designs. We can’t wait to bring them home to show you. 
 

In R.E. we have been learning about John the Baptist and his significance within Christianity. We then developed speeches discussing modern day issues that we believed that he would want to talk about. Excitingly, we got the opportunity to go to attend John’s Church to meet Rev. Gareth and some of us got the opportunity to deliver these impassioned speeches

Last week Nursery started our Christmas celebrations. We took part in our Nativity and we all did really well at singing the songs. We have also been making our advent promises by tying purple ribbon on to a tree in our playground. 

This week in PE we have been exploring different positions demonstrating a variety of stretched and curled shapes. We have been applying those skills onto different apparatus.
