Golden Children 11th March 2011

Well done to the following children for being in the Gold book this week;

Kieran constantly tries to do his best to be helpful and hard working. I am really pleased to see his changing behaviour on the playground.

I can always rely on Morgan to be doing the right thing. She is conscientious, hard working and a friend to everyone.

Our learning this week

This week we have been reading the traditional story, Goldilocks and the three bears.

Sharing the story

We looked at the different parts of the story and put them on a "Story mountain"

A story mountain made in the writing area

The children also sorted pictures by their size and matched them to the bear.

Sorting items by their size

Some children made Baby bear a new chair in the Design and Technology area.

In maths we continued with our co-ordinates work and made our own grid linked to Goldilocks story. With Beebot's help we found different co-ordinates on the grid.

Working as a team to find the co-ordinate

Beebot moves to the co-ordinate

The children had to find out what was at a specific co-ordinate. They all did very well.

What is at .....

In the maths area children worked in pairs to tell each other where to put objects on a pirate map.

x marks the spot

On the computer the children made a background using "textease paint" and then programmed "Turtle" to move round the images they created.

Can you spot Turtle

We have been having lots of fun this week enjoying the story "Room on the broom"

Thursday is Book day and you can come to school dressed as a book character.
On Friday morning we are having a "Room on the broom" party. Did you get your invitation?

You can bring some dressing up clothes, maybe you could come as a witch or a dog or even a dragon "as mean as can be!"

I'm looking forward to it, hope to see you there.

Peppermint treats

In the story Alice in Wonderland, Alice tasted lots of different things. This week we made some peppermint creams using;

Icing sugar
Egg white
Peppermint flavouring

When the creams dried we melted some chocolate and dipped them.

They look delicious!!

E-safety posters

The children have been busy making posters to remind others about being safe on the internet.

A sensible message



E-safety week

This week has been a very important and interesting week.
We have been finding out how to keep ourselves safe when we go on the internet.

We have been watching cartoons about Hector. He is a dolphin and lives in the ocean with his friends. He learns about the dangers of sharing personal information and what cyber bullying is.

If you would like to watch the cartoons again and play the games click here

Can you remember who this is?
