A quick update!

We have had a very busy few weeks in Class 9. All have settled well - both me and the children! I feel very lucky to have such a lovely class. Mrs Utting-Lawson sends her regards and hopes to see you all after Christmas.
Out topic of 'Ble wyt ti'n byw?" is going well. We have been for a walk around the locality looking at different types of houses. The children were keen to point out where they lived as we passed. We have been reading 'Winnie the Witch' books in literacy and have based many activities round this theme - including writing spells! A popular one was "how to make my sister/brother disappear!"
We will be starting our Big Write on Friday so please ask your children what we have been talking about in school and what we will be writing about on Friday. Remember the more you talk to them about the topic the easier it is for them to write about it.....keep talking!

Book day

Just a few photos of the children taken today. They all looked wonderful!

Thank you for all your efforts with costumes and for the donations of books for Sikusi.

Welcome to the Summer Term

I can't believe that we are already in the Summer term. This year really has flown by!

Firstly a huge thank you for all the fantastic donations for our role play. It is now finished and the children went in it for the first time today.

As you can see, they are thoroughly enjoying it!

The children have  already been really busy this term, writing about their Easter news and about a seaside memory. The Year 2s had a really good go at division last week and I'm sure that they will do well with their division and multiplication homework. We also used all their lovely seaside creature pictures to create some sea creature camouflage art. Unfortunately it has been so wet that we have not managed to try out all the lovely numbered pebbles, but we will on the next dry day that we have! Tomorrow we will finding out about maps and plans- a lovely mini topic which I know the children will enjoy.

Looking forward to seeing all the lovely Book day costumes tomorrow!

Newport Wetlands trip

Wow! What a fabulous day we have just had at Newport Wetlands. The children were all wonderful and thoroughly enjoyed walking around the nature reserve, bird spotting, pond dipping and bug hunting (and of course the park!). They should all be really tired tonight - I know we are! Here are a few photos of our day.

As you can probably tell we really did have a very busy but fun day. Well worth a visit if you have a spare day at Easter. I am sure the children would love to go again!

Just to say a quick thank you to all the year 2s for sending in their homework on time. You all certainly rose to the challenge and found some very unusual African animals to write about. Well done! We'll be adding them to our African A - Z tomorrow.

See you all tomorrow.

Happy New Year!

Welcome back everyone after our Christmas holiday. Hope you all had a fun (though probably not very relaxing!) Christmas.
By now you should all have had our termly overview along with my information letter. I have to say I'm really looking forward to this term's topic - lots of lovely activities to do and new skills to learn. Thank you to all of you who have already sent in pictures for the children's time lines. We'll be getting on with these next week hopefully.
Also a huge thank you for some lovely things that have come in for our Old Bear's Attic role play. This is in the process of 'taking shape'. The children have been busy weaving some spiders webs and are having a go at sewing to make some lovely little spiders ( we don't have scary spiders in our attic!). The storage boxes are beginning to fill up with lots of interesting objects but we still need more so please keep sending things in. We're also going to make a class photo album to go into one of the boxes (every attic has a photo album!).Hopefully it should be up and running properly by next week and the children will be able to tell you all about their adventures in Old Bear's attic!

Nadolig Llawen!!

Just a quick pre Christmas message to say a huge thank you for all our lovely Christmas cards and presents. We hope you all have a lovely Christmas and manage to enjoy the break and hopefully relax a little too. We'll see all the children back in school on Tuesday 3rd January 2012.

Best wishes

Mrs Utting- Lawson and Miss Brush

Where has the term gone?!

Just a quick update of what we've been up to since half term. I can't believe that the Autumn term is nearly over - we've been so busy that it's just flown by!

Our term began with a visit from Bracey's Bakery . The children found out how to make bread and what they should eat to be healthy.

 

The children are enjoying writing in their Writers Notebooks. Thank you for helping to decorate them - they look fabulous!

 In Maths we have been learning about 2d shapes and symmetry. the children had great fun finding out how many lines of symmetry different 2d shapes have.

Christmas is coming ! Time to start all those Christmas crafts!

 The Year 2s had a lovely time at Bethel Baptist this week. We helped to perform the Nativity story and then we made mincepies and a Christmas card. A huge thank you to everyone at Bethel Baptist for their warm welcome.

Our Design & Technology project this term is making puppets. The children looked at different styles of puppets and then designed and made their own. They're fantastic!

 

This week we turned our Victorian School room role play into Mog's Christmas corner. The children are having lots of fun wrapping presents and  writing their Christmas lists, cards, gift tags and party invitations. Very busy and very messy!!

Congratulations to Eira, Tiffany, Morgan and Mollie who have all received our Seren Yr Wythnos this term.

Looking forward to seeing you all at our Christmas concert.
