Infants<\/strong><\/p>\n Infants have had a fantastic week back in school after the half term break. New topic information is included with this email. We welcomed Miss Paget, our new teaching assistant into the class<\/strong>. We hope she will be very happy here at Hornby St. Margaret’s.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n In Year 1 and 2 we have been continuing to find out what Mary Anning was famous for and have been finishing off writing our diary accounts. Children have been using some brilliant vocabulary. You might ask us what excavated, paraded and mystery mean.\u00a0 In Maths, we have been exploring fractions of shapes and have been telling the time using fractions e.g. o’clock, quarter past, half past and quarter to. Year 2 have been trying to tell the time to the nearest five minutes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Reception have been reading ‘The Dinosaur Department Store’ and exploring why the character might not want to have a dinosaur as a pet. We have been making posters and dinosaur prints. In Maths we have been exploring friendly numbers that make up 10.\u00a0 We have been on a minibeast hunt and tried to think about differences between minibeasts and ourselves. We made up a new version of ‘Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ and performed it to the bigger children.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n We also went on an outdoor adventure at Borwick Hall. It was great to take part in a Bear Hunt orienteering challenge and make a bear den. We enjoyed seeing our friends from Leck St. Peter’s and exploring the indoor caves as well as sailing on the canal.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n Infant Stars of the week: <\/strong>Ronnie<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Trying hard to add detail and super vocabulary in his writing.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Certificate: <\/strong>Sophie<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n For a fantastic song performance.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Juniors<\/strong><\/p>\n Science Trip \u2013 Juniors \u2013 Be the Change \u2013 Go Green <\/strong><\/p>\n We had a fantastic day out to Lancaster University on Tuesday, the theme for the visit was ‘Go Green’ the children were encouraged to think about plastic and how we use it, food miles and transportation and we all got to make pesto from scratch.\u00a0 I hope this was enjoyed on their return home.\u00a0 This fitted in beautifully with our Geography and English topic from last half term.\u00a0 The university offer a range of different courses through the Children and Young People Partnership, we look forward to going to other events in the future.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Lower – Year 3\/4<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n The first week back has been a super one.\u00a0 It has been wonderful\u00a0to hear about what the children have been up to over the half term, thank you to those who took time to put together a PowerPoint presentation to show the class.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n We had a super day out at Lancaster University learning all about plastic and we were very excited to receive a letter from David Morris MP in response to our letters we sent to him asking about what the council were doing in our area to lessen the pollution from plastic.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n On Thursday, we took part in an online lesson from the WWF on Nature and Climate Change.\u00a0 This was very eye opening, and we learnt a lot from the presenter.\u00a0 Did you know that the temperature of a turtle’s eggs determines what gender they will be, so as a result of the planet warming we are getting more female turtles than male turtles.\u00a0 So, obviously for the future of the turtle population this is very worrying.\u00a0 We learnt lots of ways we can help, many of the things the children and families are doing already.\u00a0 Make sure you ask your children about it and what they learnt.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Please note here is no extra homework this week, please continue to encourage your children to learn their spellings, read and go on TT Rockstars, I will give the new sheets out next week.\u00a0 Have a lovely weekend!\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Upper \u2013 Year 5\/6<\/strong> \u00a0<\/p>\n This week we had the Science trip on Tuesday which was great fun, we have also been learning about time and how to read 12 hour and 24 hour clocks. On Thursday in PSHE we learnt about \u201cHow to be a baby\u201d Our favourite quote from one of the children was \u201cWhen you are a baby, you\u2019re basically helpless because you just roll around like a hurt football player!!!\u201d Hopefully they will enjoy this new topic this term.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Year 3 Star of the week:<\/strong> \u00a0Daniel<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n For raising interesting questions and making thoughtful observations in our discussion around the new value for this half term; Goodness<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Year 4 Star of the week:<\/strong> Megan<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n For an excellent presentation on Hadrian’s Wall<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Year 5 Star of the week: \u00a0<\/strong>Izzy<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n Great questions asked during our trip to the University<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Year 6 Star of the week:<\/strong> \u00a0<\/em>Noah<\/em><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/td>\n A great attitude on our trip\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Rounders Club \u2013 will be going ahead!<\/strong><\/p>\n This will be on a Monday after school 3.30pm \u2013 4.30pm with Mrs Cottam and will start on Monday 13th<\/sup> June until 11th<\/sup> July.
