Happy Harvest from Year 1 🍁🍎🌽

Year 1 have been really busy this week learning all about Harvest. To begin with, we tasted lots of different fruit and vegetables and used our sense of taste to describe them.

Can you remember which one was your favourite? Why?

We looked at some corn which had been harvested from a local field and made our own corn on the cob crafts.

In our Literacy lessons, we created our very own acrostic poems about Harvest. We thought very carefully about the sentences we could use for each line.

Finally, we used Harvest vegetables to bake our own Cheese and Vegetable Muffins! They were delicious! Afterwards, we wrote recipes for the muffins!

Can you remember your instructions? Maybe you could make some more muffins at home!

What a lovely week we have had Year1!  Enjoy a well-earned weekend! 🙂

Year 3 Harvest Week – Poetry

This week Year 3 have researched about Harvest celebrations around the world. The children used their cross-curricular links to RE and compared Harvest celebrations in Sikhism and Christianity. Year 3 have been extremely creative by reading existing poems about Harvest, selecting and using some good adjectives, adverbs and phrases and then planned their own poems. On Friday the children reread first draft and edited them using up-levelled vocabulary. Then they took pride in the presentation of their poems. Finally they rehearsed and perform their wonderful poems to their peers in Forest school and outside in the Autumn weather.

E-safety top tip!

How often do you talk to your child about online safety?

Evidence shows that parents talking to their children about safety and respect online is one of the best ways to keep them safe on and offline; young people are more receptive to being empowered themselves than by being forced to do something by their parents or carers.

Here are some conversation starters you could ask your child this weekend:

  • If you feel uncomfortable about anything on social media, where do you go for help?
  • If anybody sends you hurtful messages on the internet or on your mobile phone, who do you tell?
  • What are the school rules for using the internet?
  • What are the risks of posting inappropriate content on the internet?

Information check sheets

Dear Parents/carers

We will be sending home check sheets with children in Years 1-6 to make sure that the information that we hold on our system is up to date. Please ensure that you check through, make any amendments and then sign and return to your child’s class teacher even if there are no changes to be made.

Many thanks

Covid 19 update

Dear Parents/Carers,

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/guidance-to-parents-and-guardians-when-you-should-book-a-coronavirus-test-for-your-child/letter-to-parents-and-guardians-when-you-should-book-a-coronavirus-test-for-your-child

 

We have sent this document out before, but wanted to make sure it reached everyone. We are trying so hard to prevent any positive cases in our school, but we need your help…

Please follow all of the guidelines and in particular –

  • Making sure you are not sending your child/children into school if they are unwell.
  • Making sure they wash their hands before coming in to school and on arrival home.
  • Ensuring your children and you yourselves are socially distancing at the key times of drop off and pick up.

 

Clearly we can not control what goes on out of school, but ask that everyone does ‘their bit’ in trying to keep the virus out of our community and therefore lowering the risk of it getting into our school.

 

Thank you for your continued support.

 

 

Miss Cook

Headteacher
