Week 6 by Fullstops writing group

During art we are planning how to use collage to present our burning flames for the hall display. In news time we have been going into our super groups and the leader had to summarize the most exciting part of each person's news to the whole class. Last Thursday night some of us enjoyed exploring other rooms in the school and finding out how they use ICT Liam's favourite part was the robots in Room 13 . We liked  using our art as a background for our green screen project.  There are two new activities in our room. Words Alive is when we write about a moment in time. Here is Sean creating a crossword during spelling.

We have a new College Teacher who is Miss Goodson. She will be with us for the first two weeks of term.

End of term newsletter

Hello all,

It’s been a long busy term in Room 9. It has been great to welcome Miss Dunn and Mrs Wing , our College teachers with us for most of the term. To say THANK YOU to them for their hard work and wish them well we will have a Healthy Shared Lunch on Friday which also coincides   with a CHCH fundraiser - Wacky hair day

Highlights for the term have included focussing on our strengths, large ball skills, swimming, healthy eating as well as our usual reading writing and maths pragrammes. The children have particularly enjoyed the measuring unit in the last two weeks during which they became pirates or designers.

I wish for you and your families a rest and change of scene over the holiday break and look forward to seeing your bright bubbly selves again in Term 2

Mrs Sherlock

PAT testing week

Josh found a beautiful Red Admiral Butterfly at the bottom of the steps by Mr Vinecomb's office. We took a picture of our butterfly to put on our interesting blog. It had a broken wing.
