Since coming back from half term Dove class @FP have been busy looking at the story ‘Where the Wild Things are’ by Maurice Sendak.

We have used  adjectives to describe what all the Wild things look like and how they behave as well as designing our own Wild Things masks that we paraded around the school looking like Wild Things.

This week we have looked at the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’ by Michael Rosen. We started off the week with a bear leaving us clues around the school that we had to read to find the next one.

The children have really enjoyed both of the stories so far this term and we have a lot more exciting things coming.

Eagle Class @FP – Music Technology 

Eagle Class have thoroughly enjoyed exploring music technology through our Charanga unit this term. The children have been learning how to layer different musical parts and instruments to create their own electronic compositions, experimenting with rhythm, melody and texture to produce some fantastic original pieces.

The children have now been given their login details so they can continue developing their work at home using Yumu Studio (YuStudio) on Charanga. We would encourage them to log in, explore the software and add new sounds, instruments and musical ideas to their compositions. It’s a great way to build confidence, creativity and musical skills.

We are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm and creativity Eagle Class have shown throughout this unit. They have also impressed us with their singing this year, and we are looking forward to showcasing their wonderful vocal talents in the Year 6 production in just a few weeks’ time!

Well done, Eagle Class, we can’t wait to hear what you create next! 

Is there a better way to make use of the weather and our outdoor play area? In Y2 Hummingbird class @FP, this week, at Omar’s request, we again ventured out to the outdoor reading area with covered canopy and reading throne to read another Michel Rosen book. This time it was Goldilocks and the Three Crocodiles. The children read to the class and we sat in the sunshine and peace of the playground enjoying the book. Thanks Omar, what a great idea! 

Duckling Class @FP Become Authors, Illustrators and Publishers!

This week, Duckling Class enjoyed reading the wonderful story ‘Walking Through the Jungle’. Inspired by the adventurous tale, the children used their imaginations to create and write their very own stories.

Our young authors wrote about all kinds of exciting journeys, including walking through jungles, running through rainforests, jumping in puddles, swimming in rivers, flying through the sky and trekking across mountains. They worked incredibly hard to think of creative ideas and bring them to life with their writing and illustrations.

Once their stories were complete, the children took part in the publishing process too! Their pages were laminated, bound together and transformed into a real book. This meant that the children became not only authors and illustrators, but publishers as well!

We are so proud of the creativity, enthusiasm and effort shown by every member of Duckling Class. Well done!

In English Parakeet Class @FP have been looking at the book ‘Leon and the Place Inbetween’. We have been using expanded noun phrases to describe magical places. We have planned, written and published our own narratives based around the story. We have learnt to use dialogue to move the action in a narrative on and fronted adverbials to improve our writing.

In Art we have been learning about Frida Kahlo and looking at her Art. We looked at common themes within her Art and have begun to create our own masterpieces. We learnt about shading and tone and tried to draw flowers and plants which Frida used in her backgrounds to create our own background for a self-portrait.

In Music we have been learning about ‘The Beatles’ we have appraised and listened to ‘Blackbird’ and begun to play parts of it on the glockenspiels.

 With the sunshine finally making an appearance, we were so excited to welcome our families into nursery to help brighten up our garden! 

The children looked fantastic wearing green and had a fab time planting alongside their parents and carers.  It was wonderful to see so many families working together to fill our outdoor space with beautiful new flowers and plants.

The children have already loved helping to look after our garden by watering the plants and we can’t wait to watch them grow each day. 

A huge thank you to all the families who joined us and helped make our garden such a lovely space for everyone to enjoy!

A Well-Deserved Adventure for Our Amazing Year 6 Pupils!

As part of celebrating our Year 6 pupils’ fantastic achievements and hard work throughout the year, we enjoyed an unforgettable trip to Chessington World of Adventures before half term.

With shorter queues during the week, we were able to make the most of our day and experience an incredible number of rides and attractions, including Vampire, Tiger Rock, Tomb Blaster, Zufari, Rattlesnake, Ostrich Stampede, Mamba Strike and Blue Barnacle. We even had time for a little shopping before heading home!

The highlight for many was our very first ride of the day :Vampire, the adrenaline-pumping rollercoaster that sends riders soaring through the treetops with their legs dangling beneath them. One pupil, who had been feeling nervous beforehand, proudly said, “I was flying through the trees with my legs dangling! I really want to go again!”

The excitement continued on Rattlesnake, where another child exclaimed, “This is so amazing, sitting in a small carriage going fast with sharp turns and twisty turns!”

Tiger Rock was another firm favourite. Everyone loved the exhilarating flume ride, travelling through dramatic misty landscapes before the spectacular splashdown at the end. There were smiles, laughter and plenty of memorable moments throughout the day.

The trip was a wonderful way to celebrate the children’s hard work, resilience and success. It was truly a day to remember and one that our Year 6 pupils will cherish for years to come.

It has been another busy and enjoyable week in Kingfisher Class @FP!

In English, we have begun an exciting new unit based on Sometimes the Stars, a captivating video about a girl who embarks on a mysterious train journey. The children have been developing their descriptive writing skills by creating detailed setting descriptions and have also written thoughtful journal entries from the perspective of the main character. We have been impressed by their imagination and use of ambitious vocabulary.

In Maths, we have continued our work on money, practising adding and subtracting amounts, solving word problems and applying our learning to real-life situations.

In Science, we explored how animals are classified. The children learned about different animal groups and discussed the characteristics that scientists use to sort and identify living things.

In History, we have continued our learning about the Islamic Empire, building our understanding of its achievements, influence and significance throughout history.

In PE, we have been developing our cricket skills in preparation for our upcoming competition. The children have been practising their batting, bowling and fielding techniques and have shown great teamwork and determination.

Cricket Competition Reminder
Our cricket competition will take place at Forster Park on Thursday 12th June. Places are available on a first-come, first-served basis, so please let us know as soon as possible if your child would like to take part.

Thank you for your continued support. We hope you have a wonderful weekend and look forward to another exciting week of learning in Kingfisher Class!

This week, Year 3 Pelican @FP finished learning about myHappymind! We have really enjoyed exploring different ways to understand our feelings, build confidence, and look after our mental wellbeing.

Some of our favourite modules were:

• Meet Your Brain – learning about how our brains work and how to stay calm and focused.
• Celebrate – thinking about our strengths and what makes us special.
• Appreciate – learning to be grateful and notice the positive things around us.
• Relate – practising kindness, teamwork, and how to be a good friend.
• Engage – understanding how to set goals and keep trying even when things feel tricky.

We enjoyed taking part in discussions, activities, and mindfulness moments together. Pelican Class has worked hard throughout the programme and we are proud of everything we have learned!
