Class News.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Years 5 and 6.\u00a0 <\/strong>Upper juniors have enjoyed learning some Spanish in school.\u00a0 In Literacy they have produced information booklets about Spain, including creating some eye-catching details.\u00a0 The booklets are proudly displayed in the classroom.<\/p>\n

They had lots of fun in science finding their pulses and doing an investigation.\u00a0 They went outside to exercise and see what affect this had on their heart rates.\u00a0 The information gathered was then input into Excel to produce a class bar chart.<\/p>\n

Mrs Cook enjoyed doing food tasting with year 5 and 6 in DT, everyone as really enthusiastic and willing to give everything a try!<\/p>\n

Year 6 Star of the week: Ava <\/strong>for producing a great information booklet about Spain.<\/p>\n

Year 5 Star of the week: <\/strong>Jack <\/strong>for producing a great information booklet about Spain.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Years 3 and 4<\/strong> Hola!<\/p>\n

For the last couple of weeks, the children have been learning some Spanish vocabulary in their language lesson with Miss Yost.\u00a0 This is linking in with our topic, Spain, in Geography.\u00a0 The children have really enjoyed it and well done to Daisy who went home and learnt some extra words to share with the class, thanks Daisy!\u00a0<\/p>\n

I have been impressed with the efforts the children have been putting with their Maths this week.\u00a0 Learning new skills and recapping old ones, putting our division knowledge into practice.\u00a0 Talking to the children about how their multiplication knowledge really helps with their division, has inspired some children to make more effort with their TT Rock Stars practice at home.\u00a0 This really helps with division and also when we move on to fractions soon!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Year 4 Star of the week: Henry <\/strong>for setting himself a challenge to go on TT Rock Stars in his own time and achieving it!\u00a0 His comment on his efforts so far was \u2018You can do anything in 5 minutes!\u2019<\/p>\n

Year 3 Star of the week: Seb <\/strong>for improved attitude to reading and TT Rock Stars at home and setting a good example to others.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Infants<\/strong> have been exploring different materials and thinking about their properties this week.<\/p>\n

Reception <\/strong>children have been using printing tools to print their own house and the \u2018Three Little Pigs\u2019 House.\u00a0 They have used different construction methods to make some of the buildings we saw on our walk around Hornby<\/p>\n

Years 1 and 2<\/strong> children have been thinking about different landscapes.\u00a0 They have done some colour mixing to paint a Lowry style seascape.\u00a0 We have also been role playing the Three Little Pigs story and the older children in class have started to their own versions \u2013 Three Little Snaked and Three Little Hyenas are some of the titles!\u00a0<\/p>\n

In mathematics, reception have been exploring shapes and Year 1 and 2 have been ordering and calculating with 2-digit numbers.<\/p>\n

Infant Star of the week: Joey <\/strong>for super morning challenge work and telling fantastic stories with the small world toys.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Certificate: Jonathan <\/strong>for being a cheerful member of Class One and trying hard to write the letters in his name.<\/p>\n

We are sorry to tell you that Miss Allen is moving on to a full-time post elsewhere in Lancashire Education and will be leaving us on Friday 4th<\/sup> February, we all wish her well in her new role.<\/p>\n
