Countess Way Bike-a-thon
Last week we had a lot of fun at the bike-a-thon raising money for Sport Relief!
Here we are enjoying the event:
Finding Half
Yesterday we spent the morning investigating halving!
We talked about how when we halve we split into ‘two equal groups’ or ‘two equal parts’.
We carried out lots of different activities including chalking shapes outside, measuring different water containers, finding different ways to shade half and creating garden patterns which have ben split in half!
It was fantastic to see the children so engaged in their learning and we saw lots of learning zones 4 and 5!
Here we are investigating:
Year 2 Assessment Meeting
Thank you to all the parents who attend our Year 2 assessment workshops. It was great to see so many of you there and we hope the sessions provided you with lots of useful information.
Below is the presentation we talked through at both sessions. If you were unable to attend please do not hesitate to speak to your class teacher and ask any questions regarding the upcoming assessments.
We are looking to put together a number of resources requested during the meetings and hope to have these available for your after the Easter break.
Thank you again for all of your support in the lead up and during these assessments.
The Year 2 Team
High learning zones
As we were using all the knowledge we have learnt to to write our Victorian diaries, I couldn’t resist taking pictures children working in their trios. Their learning zones were fantastic, lots of 4’s and 5’s.
Once we have finished writing our diaries, we will upload some excellent examples.
Keep it up 3A! The levels of balance I am seeing are incredible.  
 
F2 Bike-a-thon
Well done to all of F2 who walked, ran or cycled for Sports Relief on Friday, and thank you for your kind donations.
EMASS Network Conference
Mrs.Thelwell and I represented our school through presenting a workshop about how we support New Arrival EAL children in school.
It was a great day and made me feel very proud of being part of such an amazing school!
100% attendance!
Well done to all these children in 3A who have been at school everyday this half term!
Let’s see how many children can achieve 100% attendance next half term.
5A attendance winners
Last week for the first time this year 5A got a 100% attendance for the whole week! No one missed any learning, which meant everyone’s learning really improved. Learning zones and well being were really good during assessments we had so well done 5A!
Meeting ‘baby’ and Sports Relief activities
This week children in Foundation 1 continued their learning by exploring in our pet shop role play area. They also met Baby, Mrs Kingsman’s pet guniea pig, and enjoyed feeding her carrots, green peppers and apples from her snack box.
We finished the week by taking part in the school sports relief activities and managed to get 83 points! That was one point for each circuit of the playground they completed.
Thank you all for the donations made to sports relief. Please see the bulletin for the grand total.
Next week we will be reading Little Rabbit Foo Foo and we will also be doing some Easter activities before we finish for the Easter break on Wednesday.
