We enjoyed exploring different materials to make snowflakes, build igloos, make snowmen and make water colour pictures using ice!
Can you see which materials we have used?
It might surprise you!

Thank you to all of the parents, carers and friends who helped Fen Street Year One’s decorate their Giving Tree. I think you’ll agree, it looks fantastic!
We would like to invite you all in again on Friday 18th December from 8:30am – 9:00am to share our giving tree poems!
Thank you for your support.

Last week year 5 had a special visit from the Milton Keynes fire brigade, who came in their fire engine! We had an assembly and learnt different things about: smoke detectors, what causes fires and how to stay safe if a fire were to occur. We had a great time and I hope the kids know how to stay safe.

We explored a fairy house that we found!
We learned all about the seasons with our Ranger, Matt.
We loved finding a GIANT spider!
We listened to a story about our Christmas tree.
and watched our Christmas tree being cut down.
The Determined pins keep on coming in class 1e as we awarded two more to very determined year 1’s. This week Olivia and Emily both achieved their pins by being very determined in every aspect of Open, Grow and Believe. It was lovely to celebrate your achievements with your families. Well done on being so determined and being great Year 1 role models!
This week we have begun to build on our independence and personalise our own learning journeys through using our morning timetables that we created for home learning last week. This week for home learning we would like you to review your home learning timetable and make any changes that you feel would benefit you utilising this time effectively e.g. you may wish to add in an opportunity to mark the questions you have answered; edit the activity you planned for yourself; change the gap you are closing as you may have already achieved closing your original gap.
Use the timetable below to plan next week’s morning time table:
| Monday (8.30 – 8.55am) | Tuesday (8.30 – 8.45am) | Wednesday (8.30 – 8.55am) | Thursday (8.30 – 8.55am) | Friday (8.30 – 8.45am) | |
| What am I going to do? | |||||
| What resources will I use/need? | |||||
| What gap is this going to close? |
Project
Next term our Project is going to be ‘Microevolution’. For home learning we would like to find out everything that you already know about microevolution, natural selection and adaptation. The purpose of this home learning is to establish what you already know so that in school we don’t teach you something that you already know. Please do not google any of the above as we will be researching and collecting this knowledge after Christmas.
Please complete this task in your home learning book.
Maths
Each maths group has been set their own home learning task by their maths teacher.
Miss Bold – order of operations
Mr Peters – addition
Miss Snowdon – multiplication
As always you can complete your home learning in our Tuesday lunchtime club.
As the morning timetable is for all of next week we are asking for this piece to be in school on Monday.
Have a lovely weekend!
Miss Snowdon, Miss Bold and Mr Peters
On Wednesday I attended the head teachers conference at Kents hill. The focus was behaviour! It really challenged me to reflect about how well all the children at brooklands farm ‘behave’. We discussed how ‘children behaving well’ was just the tip of the iceberg and that learning behaviours were just as important. So this week I’ll be coming into classrooms to see our amazing learners in action!
