SJB Primary School

In Year 5 we have started to look at the poem ‘The Highwayman’ by Alfred Noyes. This week we have written reports on the real highwayman Dick Turpin. We then converted our reports into an e-book using the iPads.

Named sweatshirts have been returned to classes. Any without names have been washed and sorted by age. Your children can ask us to find them a clean one if you have uniform missing.

This week in Nursery, we have been sharing the story of The Little Red Hen. She grows some wheat and makes some bread all by herself as none of her friends will help her. Then they all want to eat the bread even though they haven’t done any work. The children all thought this was very unfair and so have tried really hard in our Nursery class to help each other and their teachers. It has been a super week where the children have learnt lots about where our food comes from, had lots of experiences of cooking and preparing food themselves and also learning how to work together as a team.

Great work, Nursery!

Year 2 have been busy this week writing their own version of The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch.

Nursery enjoyed exploring creating art with our different materials.

We have had a very busy day in Year 1. In English, we loved writing our news. We enjoyed using the play-Doh to help us with our finger spaces. This afternoon, we discussed the colours of Autumn trees and drew some trees in our sketch books. We will be using them later in the week to help us do some printing.

The fun continues in Year Five! This week we have been writing in Anglo-Saxon runes and making brooches fit for a king!

(We’ve also done a little bit of Maths and English as well 😉)

Year 2 have been busy this morning solving a Maths problem solving question. How many ways can they make 10 using the spinner?

Year 2 have been looking at 2D shapes this week. Today we have been identifying irregular 2D shapes.

Year 6 have been learning about classification of living things. This afternoon we took our learning outside and investigated the plants and invertebrates living in the wildlife garden and kitchen garden.

Thank you to everyone for supporting your children’s learning on this topic. They have shared some amazing information in our lessons. Definitely some future entomologists in this class!
