FRIDAY FLYER

KEY STAGE 1 NEWS

After the joy of sports day and the sponsored walk Base 1 got back to The Train Ride, the story they had started learning about. In Literacy they have been retelling the story and creating their own narrative by using the story as a starting point but changing the vehi-cle. In Maths children have been learning about time. We have learnt about the days of the week and months of the year through song and ordering activities. Children have also been learning about the hour on a clock. As part of this learning they explored what ac-tivities they could do in a minute. In their worked linked to the Train Ride they used the small world picture cards from the story to order and then direct their Bee Bot through, pretending he was a train. Plus Base 1 continue to do the daily mile and enjoy the time they get to spend with the rest of the school.

This week base 2 have been writing their own diary. Children have been keeping a record of the seeds that they planted and writing it in their own diary. This is what Jasper did in Jasper’s Beanstalk. In maths children have been learning how to tell the time. They have made their own clock and are learning to tell the time to the hour and half hour. Children made their own headdress in art to celebrate the festivals in Rio. Children have designed their own flags – they looked at flags in other countries first, then planned and made their own flag.

This week in Base 3 children have been learning about time, they have focused on half past and o’clock and have played lots of games too. Children have been reading and writing character descriptions for The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson and have read some other books which she has written. In theme this week, children made they own religious buildings using Lego, mobile, building blocks and outside building resources – it was a lot of fun! Children looked at the rainforest in Brazil and discussed the habitats for amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals in the different layers of the rainforest.

Base 4 have had a very exciting week! Children had a fantastic school trip on Tuesday to Attingham Park. They went on a deer park ride and learnt lots about the fallow deer in the park. The children even had the opportunity to hold an antler! Children then went pond dipping and caught some newts, toad spawn, water boatmen and many other bugs and wildlife. Base 4 thoroughly enjoyed their day, especially when they had a chance to play on the giant adventure playground! In Literacy, children have been writing a recount of their day and thank you letters to the staff who helped them on the trip at the Park. Bae 4 maths lessons have been based on the World Cup and they have been solving some multiplication problems based on the football in Russia. Children are getting very good at applying their times tables knowledge to many aspects of life. In science children have been doing some investigations on how exercise affects their heart rate. Children have been finding their heart rate by feeling their neck, wrist and chest. It has been a very interesting week!

CONGRATULATIONS

Governors Corner Teagues Bridge Primary School governors’ sole purpose is to make sure our school is constantly improving for all our pupils. Recently we carried out a thorough ‘learning walk’ around the school and we are delighted to be able to report that we found: Your children learn in a safe, friendly and happy environment. Their behaviour, on the whole, is a credit to you! Polite, positive and well-behaved children and our effective and consistent approach to any challenging behaviour, ensures that we have an excellent platform for learning. Class themes are stimulating and engaging. Classrooms are bright, vibrant place with exciting and interactive displays and lots of evidence of children’s hard work. Any ideas we had for tweeks of improvement (such as new furniture in places) have been agreed by Mrs Abdulla and relayed to all the teaching staff, who have acted on them immediately. We have also worked with the children to develop a clear, child-friendly school vision (for the future of our school) driven by our passionate commitment for quality and safety. The children listened attentively, were so enthusiastic and made super, colourful creative posters. We can tell you, it was a delight to see!

Things to talk about at home…

Do you think you should be allowed to eat whatever you like? What age do you think children should get choose their own food?

Do you think that until you are able to make your own choices about what you eat, your parents should be in charge, or do you think it’s fair for the government to ban certain food if they are very unhealthy?

Celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, has said he’d like the government to ban children’s characters on cereals that are high in sugar, do you think this is a good idea?

New proposals to try to increase healthy eating for children and to halve childhood obesity, recently announced today by Health and Social Care Secretary Jeremy Hunt, build on the existing work to try to help families make healthier food choices.
