Starfish had a wonderful (if chilly) day at Elmswell Farm - Farmer John took the class on a long walk and spoke about building new hedges, planting a forest and tree recognition.  Next month we will go to Kingsmill to identify trees once all the leaves are out and name more wild flowers.  As a class we have been watching the activities of the birds in the playground - Bobert (the robin) is taking food into the ivy so we think there might be a nest and Brian & Brenda the blackbirds are also diving in and out of the ivy - fingers crossed !!!

Maths next week is all about fractions. We will be learning all about finding a half of a shape, an object and an amount. 

In History we are learning about the Victorians - Mrs.Jackson took the class on an impromptu tour of the school where we could see what the school looked like when it was built in the 1850's. We spotted old windows, chimneys and old high ceilings - we learnt about boys and girls being separately taught and that the toilets were outside. Mrs.J did have to keep reiterating that she was not teaching there in Victorian times.  But if any parents/ grandparents did attend the school perhaps you could tell them about how it has changed. 

Phonics next week -

Alien words: scroy ept spraw quisk chort shome

In Design Technology we will be making and tasting our pasta salads for the Lighthouse Keeper Mr.Grinling - I'm sure there will be some comical photos! 

Thank you for your continued support. Starfish team.

Another week has flown by since the last round up. 

After all the planning and testing we finally made our own pasta salad - we learned how to chop and grate, we followed our design and we then ate our pasta salad! Some enjoyed it more than others - next week we will evaluate our dish. 

In maths we are continuing with fractions and will be recognising and finding a quarter of a shape, object or amount. Science - it's all about trees and naming evergreen and deciduous trees. Since last week we have planted some wild flower seeds in one of the planters in the playground and are eagerly waiting for something to sprout. 

Phonics - /oi/ oy  boy joy toy enjoy annoy destroy,      /igh/ i  tiger find wild kind child spider

/ai/ a  acorn paper later chasing basic baking     /oa/ ow  grow show follow snow arrow window

Alien words - scroy ept spraw quisk chort shome

If you haven't signed your sun cream form please do and don't forget the cream!!!! Named please. 

On Tuesday we will be visiting the church for a Pentecost experience - Rev Stuart always makes us very welcome and we will learn lots of new things all linked with our RE. 

Enjoy the rest of the week and thank you for your support.
