In English this week, Y6 have been learning to create suspense in their writing. They have looked at figurative language, vocabulary linked to their senses and a range of sentence openers and structures. Here are a few examples of their final, eerie paragraphs. I'm sure you'll agree they've done a fantastic job!  

World Book Day - Thursday 4th March

We are looking forward to seeing your creations.

In Year 1 we have been learning about maps and how to use them. We found Devon on a UK map and labelled Plymouth.

We really enjoyed looking at Google Maps and had great fun using it to find familiar places such as our own homes and our school.

Foundation have enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year this week. They had a brilliant go at painting Chinese numbers to 10.

This week, Year 4 are studying a book of poems written by Rachel Rooney called A Kid in Our Class. We looked closely at the poem entitled As Shy As.

Following this, the children wrote their own versions using As Hot As…Here are some of their fantastic examples full of wonderful description. Well done year 4 – you are all writing superstars!

Foundation have had fun using the BeeBots this morning. They have been blasting through space to find the teen numbers we have been learning. Well done!

This week is Children’s Mental Health awareness week. The children in school and at home will completing activities linked to this. We will also be asking all staff, children and parents too, to decorate a jigsaw piece which represents them and the things they enjoy. We would then like the children learning at home to display their jigsaw piece in a window. In these unusual times we would like families to still feel connected to us in school as although we are not all together we are still all part of the school community. We hope that you will join in and we look forward to looking out for the jigsaw pieces in windows near school. In these difficult times if you have concerns about your child and how they are being affected then please contact your child’s class teacher or a member of the pastoral team. #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

Foundation enjoyed playing giant snakes and ladders. Instead of dice we used our phonics green and red words. We had to read the word before we were allowed to turn it over to see how many spaces we could move. Well done to the children for doing some brilliant reading and taking turns so nicely.
