In Nursery Class this week we have been
learning all about road safety. We have learnt
about the Green Cross Code and we spoke
about the safest way to cross the road. We also
used the zebra crossing and traffic lights in the
playground, used the cars to make some track
paintings and learnt about patterns by making
our very own zebra crossings.

The children in Reception Classhave been very eager to write their own stories this week,
using the 'Helicopter Technique' for storytelling and story acting. They've done a superb job
at creating all sorts of imaginative stories about everything from fairy pirates to explosionsto sea rescues! In this lovely technique used with young children, the adults scribe the
children's stories, word for word and the children get to do the exciting parts - illustrating
their stories and choosing which character they'd like to be. Then the whole class gathersaround a stage area and helps to act out the different stories. Its absolutely magical andeveryone in our class is always bursting to take part!

Prince Charming came to visit Year 1this week!
In literacy we have been looking at characters speech and question
writing.
We looked at children interviewing famous people including Barack
Obama and looked at how to write interesting questions.
We treated our time with Prince Charmingvery seriously. We found
out lots of information about Mr and Mrs Charming as well as things
about where he comes from, what he does in his free time and about
what motivated him to set off on a quest to find sleeping beauty.
He was very posh and ate lots of funny things like gold dust on toast
and magical mash.
We also finished off our presentations this week and they were
fantastic! We are really looking forward to our shadow puppet
theatre next week as well as looking at play scripts. Press hereto see
more photos.

In Year 2/3 we had a
wonderful time raising
money for Sport Relief
at Spitalfields Market.
We really wanted to
know how much we'dmade, so when we got
back to class we sorted
all the coins and used
our times tables and
addition to find the
total amount.
Each table sorted the
coins into separate
piles: 1p, 2p, 5p, 10p,20p, 50p, 1 and 2
and then calculated
the total value of each
pile. We then added all
of these totals together
to find that we had
raised 454.67
It was a really funmaths lesson with a
fantastic real-life
context. Well done
Year 2/3!!! Presshere.

This week, the focus was for children to
pay forward positive comments to each
other with a view to making each others
day. The prizes and some of the
certificates reflected this effort so well
done to all!
Next weeks focus for Nursery and
Reception Classes is to tidy up their
outdoor things when theyve finished with
them and for Year 1, 2 and 3 to continue
with the theme of empathy and really
demonstrate they know how it feels to be
someone else.
The Artist of the Week went to Erica in
Reception Class. The drawings that
accompanied her story showedthoughtful attention to detail and it was
lovely to see all the smiley faces! Well

Spitalfields Market on Tuesday she

lovely to see her confidence growing.
