This week
We have been learning about different vegetables, some of which we already knew and some we didn’t. We discovered that if we wanted chips we had to have potatoes! We have been reading sentences about “Oliver’s Vegetables”, trying to remember our ‘reading strategies’ that help us. We have done all sorts of pattern making including printing with vegetables, sound patterns and body patterns. To find out more about this, please come to the curriculum evening on Thursday next week.
Next week
We will continue learning about how to keep healthy using the book ‘Oliver’s Fruit Salad’. We will be reading a recipe to make a fruit salad and tasting different fruits. In maths we will be sorting and categorising. We will also be finishing our pattern work ready for the curriculum evening.
Fruit Salad
We will be making a fruit salad on Thursday and Friday next week. We will be providing some of the fruit but would be grateful if you could send your child in with one piece of fruit to add to this so that we have more to go round.
Resources
We are always looking for and collecting paper. This is quite an expensive resource and we are grateful for any donations. Scrap paper, old wrapping paper, left over wall paper, old used birthday cards (we only use the front) and anything else you can think of! Thank you.
 
Impressive Homework
 Zoha and Manav have really impressed us with their creative home learning this week. They have also tried exceptionally hard with their finger spaces and letter formation in their writing.

What a wonderful week we have had celebrating “National Farmhouse Breakfast Week”. Children have won prizes of cereal and porridge all week, for effort put into different activities.
Today saw our Prize Draw to win Eggs, Bacon and Cereals! The children enjoyed learning about different cereals that grow and also that the majority of our breakfast ingredients are produced by farmers, such as bacon, eggs, milk and yogurt.
Thank you to all our special guests invited today and for your continued support of Breakfast Club. Thanks again to Tesco for the lovely bread and cereals this week.
Our next “Themed Week” is “Pancakes and Valentines”.
See you on Monday from 7.30am.

Harry (3S) has worked very hard at Beavers. He has managed to get the 6 red awards which means to achieve the bronze.
Well done Harry!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Emily (6G) competed in a gym competition at Marriots Sports Centre last Sunday. She came second in bar and 3rd in floor.
Congratulations Emily!
 

We are looking forward to meeting Team GB athlete Marilyn Okoro on Tuesday. Marilyn will be taking an assembly and workshops with the children. The workshops will focus on healthy eating, growth mind-set and determination and there will be a question and answer session.
After Marilyn‘s visit, Mr Sanders and Mr Cropper will be organising a “ Circuit Challenge ” involving the whole school.
This will comprise of:

• Killers (short burst of sprinting)
• Leg drives
• Burpees
• Press ups
• Triceps dips
• Sit ups
• Star jumps

Each aspect of the circuit will last for one minute and their score on each activity will be recorded. The circuits will take place during their PE lessons in the week after Marilyn’s visit.
Your child has brought home a sponsor form to participate in this event to help raise money in support of Team GB Athletes and for sports equipment for the school. All children who raise money will receive a prize, depending upon how much sponsorship money they collect.
Please could all money be returned to school by Wednesday 7th February. Thank you.
