The Journey to Windsor Castle

On Monday we were all very excited because we went by coach to Windsor castle. We had our snack and our lunch there. We found out what castles were used for and why they were often built on a hill. We looked around the castle and went into the State apartments and saw Queen Mary's Doll House.


In English we wrote a recount about our trip.


In maths we did some problem solving using addition and take away. We had to try and find out all possibilities.


Some of us have been practising our challenges.
In Science we were learning about Robin's and  made bird feeders.

This week our Learning owl is Jemima who has been concentrating with her writing. Well  done. Have fun with Snowy.


We look forward to welcoming you to our Christmas Sharing assembly next Friday at 9.05am . The children  will not need any costumes as they will be coming to school in their Christmas jumpers.

Bossy words

We have had a busy week! In English we have been learning to give and write instructions. We know that instructions use bossy or imperative words. We thought of words such a s cut, stick, fold, arrange and snip. We used these words to make snowman biscuits, snowflakes and cone angels.


In maths we have been learning about time, thinking about what time it would be an hour later than 11 o'clock and half past six. 


We listened to and helped Reverend Tim retell the Christmas story which was fun because we all had different actions to do.
Year one  were the shepherds.


We are looking forward to our visit to Windsor  Castle on Monday and hope to see the Queen.


Our Learning Owl this week is Oliver who has persevered with his learning. Well done. Have fun with Snowy.
