Our Learning Journey – Welcome to Our World<\/span><\/h2>\n

Thank you to everyone who \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcattended\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 our virtual Learning Reviews, we are glad so many of you took up this opportunity to speak directly to class teachers about your child\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s learning. The next learning review will be on Monday 22nd<\/sup> February 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our learning this week…<\/span><\/h3>\n

Reception – <\/span><\/strong>We have been target setting!!\u00c2\u00a0 Each child has written a sentence about what they hope to achieve, with lots of hard work and perseverance, by the summer term. The teachers will keep it safe, and the children can open it in July. In phonics we have been revising the phase 2 sounds, and in maths we have started to practise counting on and back. Every Friday we visit Celebration Assembly, which we love, we have been learning the golden rap and are very excited to now have \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcStars of the Week\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 like the rest of the school!!<\/p>\n

Year 1 – <\/span><\/strong>We are loving ‘Dinosaurs and all that rubbish’; focusing on using fantastic adjectives as well as writing some amazing simile sentences about the dinosaurs in our story. In maths we have revisited addition and children have been using number lines to count on to work out answers to addition number sentences. We have also been focusing on the important skill of evaluation, assessing what went well and what improvements we can make to our free-standing structures.<\/p>\n

Year 2 – <\/span><\/strong>Virtual Year 2 have thoroughly impressed us this week!! They took out their Dulwich Wood Learning Toolkits, and used each one of their tools to tackle the work that we set them at home. We saw their Imagination Tool being used when writing, performing and drawing artwork to link to the poems they wrote. Their Reasoning Tool was evident when writing emails to the Owl and the Pussy cat about which material was most suitable for their boat. We also saw lots of children persevering with their work, responding to feedback and learning from their mistakes. We feel very lucky to have such hardworking children in our year group, everyone was invited to stand up in Celebration Assembly and the whole school gave them a very loud clap!!<\/p>\n

Year 3 – <\/strong><\/span>We started our new book this week; Escape from Pompei. We’ve been using our imagining tool to create impressive written descriptions of Pompeii before the eruption. We are all very excited to discover what happens next. In maths we have been learning all about money. Perhaps your child could help you do the shopping this weekend and work out how much change you should get from \u00c2\u00a31 if you buy certain items! During science, we had great fun discovering all about bones and what life would be like without them!<\/p>\n

Year 4\/5 – <\/strong><\/span>This week we have been learning about metamorphosis in our science lessons.\u00c2\u00a0 We explored the life cycle and changes in newts, butterflies, frogs and dragonflies.\u00c2\u00a0 We have also been learning about the continent of South America and used atlases to help us identify the many different countries it is made up of, we did some of this work in Spanish!! In RE we have been considering some big questions about the existence of God, the children were incredibly mature and respectful of each other\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s views and beliefs. Several children brought in additional information about their religions and shared with confidence and pride. Some children insisted on reciting prayers they knew by heart, showing key clips and short videos. They were also keen to learn about and acknowledge the views of humanists and consider why some people chose to be atheists.<\/p>\n

Year 6 – <\/strong><\/span>We have been working for the \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcNew York Times\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 as journalists to gather information for our newspaper report deadline next week. We have been using our imagining tools to play the role of reporters! Asking questions and interviewing various characters and eye witnesses to find out who is to blame for the tragic death of King Kong! We have all enjoyed using our acting skills to get into role and deepen our understanding of the story, showing great empathy for Kong. We will be using these skills to report more on the story next week.<\/p>\n

Key Stage 2 Reminders<\/span><\/h3>\n

Year 4\/5 and Year 6, must be in school before 8.50 (gates open at 8.35 am). They may only enter via the back gate. If your child is going to be late you must inform the office and arrangements will be made to get your child safely to their bubble. House points are awarded for punctuality so if your child is late they are letting down their House down as well as missing their early morning work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parents are not permitted to park anywhere around the back-car park gate, please park away from there and walk around to collect your child. We are receiving complaints from local residents who quite rightly, are very upset that they are being disturbed and inconvenienced by illegal parking.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday 9th December all Year 3, Year 4\/5 and Year 6 children will be going to St Stephen\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Church, in their year group bubbles, to film for the virtual KS2 show. If you don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want your child to be in the video please email Mrs Jary, if we don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t hear from you we will assume that we have your consent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Christmas Charity – Shoebox Challenge<\/span><\/h3>\n

As you may have seen from our email earlier\u00c2\u00a0this week, it has been brought to our attention that our values and those of the charity Samaritan’s Purse are not aligned, but we have had such fantastic engagement from across\u00c2\u00a0the school that we wanted to make sure all that hard work didn’t go to waste!<\/p>\n

So, the great news is we’re going to partner with The Salvation Army who will make sure our shoeboxes reach children in our area by sharing them alongside\u00c2\u00a0the many food parcels they have to go out.\u00c2\u00a0 They asked us to ‘thank the children on their behalf for such a thoughtful and kind gesture!’ If you haven’t made yours yet there is still time – the deadline is 14th of December.<\/p>\n

1.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Find a shoe box & decorate<\/p>\n

2.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Fill with age appropriate gifts<\/p>\n

3.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Wrap your box in Christmas Paper but ensure the lid can be removed so your child can show what is in there.<\/p>\n

Bring your shoebox to school by Monday 14th December.<\/p>\n
