See you in Term 3!

I hope you have a lovely week with Mrs Charlton!

End of our Sound Topic....

It's been so much fun working on our topic with Room 12. Thanks Miss Stringer for helping Mrs Anderson and Room 16 learn so much about Sound!

Here the children are playing their compositions to their buddy on the instruments they made!

Homework Reading Rewards!

There has been some fantastic progress in reading for most children in the first two terms of the the year and this is because of how much reading they do home, as well as at school. This is why it is so important that they do their reading homework and I love to be able to recognise and reward the children who are working hard on their reading at home. 

Everyone has achieved at least one Reading Reward. That means they have read at least 40 nights since February.

All the children who have achieved 2 Reading Rewards, have read at least 80 times since February.

All the children who have achieved 3 Reading Rewards, have read at least 120 times since February.

Who will be the first to read at least 160 times and achieve their 4th Reading Reward???

Instrument Making!

Room 12 and Room 16 spent this week planning the instruments and finally it was time to start making them today! Next week the children will finish the instrument and then make a composition to play on them!! Thanks Miss Stringer for the video and the photos :-)

Monster Art

Some strange monsters have been appearing in Room 16, while we've been doing Fundamental Skills at the Stadium!

Library time :-)

Spending time in the library is one of Room 16's favourite things and it's just great to see them enjoying the books on their own or with a buddy, in what must surely be one of the best school libraries around! Thanks to Mrs Turbitt and Mrs Herdman for all they do to make our library so fantastic - we really do appreciate it. 😄

Dear Mr Hewson....

This week we've been continuing our writing focus on persuasive letters. the children chose something that they felt strongly about in school and wrote letters to Mr Hewson to convince him to change things!
