Class Missionary- Freya Newton

Freya you are always keen to tell us your ideas and join in with class discussions. You have an infectious laugh and we love to see you smile with your friends.

Marcus – Marcus your observational drawing of fruit in a bowl was stunning. You thought carefully about the colours you were using and the shapes of the fruit. Well done!

Otis– You recognise and talk about 3d shapes confidently. You noticed the 3d shape patterns and were able to continue them. Keep this up!

Julia K- Julia you too spent a lot of time and effort looking at the fruit in the bowl and thinking about colours and using a rubbing technique to blend the colours.

Class 6 won the Big Pedal class competition. Well done to them!

David Year 1 won the Mystery Hamper raffle.

On Thursday 18th May, a meal of pizza and caramel tart was served as they were voted most popular in a recent survey.

If you have any suggestions that you think School Council would be interested in please either speak to
your class representatives or post your message on the blog.

We started to make information leaflets to attract people to come to the Dinosaur theme parks that we designed. We had fun designing them and thinking about what would be there.

What do you think would be the best thing about a real dinosaur park?

Class Missionary- Aodhan McFall

Aodhan you are a valued member of our class. The teachers and children enjoy spending time talking with you, especially when you tell funny jokes.

Angel- You are showing more confidence in your reading and writing in phonics. You work hard to segment each sound in words to help you with your writing. Keep this up.

Julia OS- Julia you can always be relied upon to make the right choices and lead by example. You made such a brilliant disguise for yourself as a lion. You put so much effort into your picture as you do in all your work.

Zane- You always make an effort to give your ideas during class discussions. You are keen to let us know answers to questions. We love to hear your thoughts. Thank you for the time you spend completing homework- it is always a pleasure to read your work.

Today we had a retreat day with Frances our school chaplain. We talked about how the holy spirit came to help the disciples spread the good news about Jesus. Each group used drama to retell the    story. Some of the children told us to spread the good news in their own language.

We started our sats tests today. I am very proud of you all!

Comment below to tell me what you thought of it.

Watch out! Those aliens are coming in the night to steal our valuables! Ask your child about their instructions on how to capture those aliens! Well done Class 1 for working so hard on your ideas!

Class Missionary- Marcel

Marcel – You have grown in confidence. You are a great example to you friends showing them that you should always try your best. You keep going and going until you have completed tasks. You show real perseverance.

Michaela- You could put up to 5 random numbers in order between 0-20. Great number thinking. You have also been shining in phonics sessions. Keep this up!

Connor- Connor you showed some great problem solving skills being willing to share your biscuit so there was enough for everyone. What a considerate thing to do. Thank you for thinking of others.

Daniella N-  We are so pleased with how hard you are trying in your writing. We can see that you think carefully about the sentences you write and using all the different digraphs you have been learning.

We had another fantastic day at Trinity for This Girl Can. We practised handball skills then played a tournament! We also enjoyed having the chance to play hockey with all the proper equipment. All the girls tried everything with confidence, perseverance and determination!

This week in art we were weaving wavy patterns and mixing powder paint to make watery designs inspired by Op Artist Bridget Riley.                                                                                 Do you remember what happens to your eyes when you look at her work?                                                                                                                                                                                               Next week  we will be looking at work by  Hokusai. He was a Japanese artist famous for making woodcut prints.  His most well known art is called The Great Wave off Kanagawa. I think this looks like quite a stormy sea to be out in a boat. What is that I can see in the distance?                                                                                                                                             Can you find out anything else about this artist or his work?
