All About Me

Well we have now just finished our topic, which we have all enjoyed. The children have loved reading the beginning of the Boy a The Back of the Class and some children have alrady chosen the book to read for pleasure.

In English the children wrote a diary entry as the narrator of the story. Our next peice of writing was an explanation text about the digestive system. Everyone loved writing this and included some interesting vocabulary.

In our Science sessions we learnt about the human skeleton, teeth and the diegstive system. We made skeletons, Bob the skeleton came to visit, we made model msucles using card and elastic bands, identified the organs involved in digestion and discovered what happens when food is digested.

A busy but fun topic!

Next is Discovery where we become Historians!

Welcome Back!

We have had a great first day back and everyone has settled in well.

Information about class routines will filter through the week and notes will be sent home in the planner to help you all understand the expectations. Planners are a great form of communication so please check them for letters and notes. You can also write notes in the planner for myself (Mrs Burton) or any other adults in school.

PE days are Tuesday and Thursday. Tuesday is indoor PE, where children need blue shorts and a white t-shirt. Thursday is outdoor PE, where children may require a warmer layer as the weather cools down along with some trainers.

Our first topic is 'All About Me', we will be looking at the skeleton and the digestive system in our science based topic. Our book is one of my favourites - The Boy at the Back of the Class and I'm sure the children will enjoy it too!!

We are all looking forward to the new year!
