  Introducing the Radipole Reading Book Worm

  Radipole Reading Worm will spend the week with the class who have the most number of children who read five or more times a week and record it on Boom Reader.

  Well done 2MH for all your home reading!

  

• Year 2 - Re-count the recounts!

  Fri 21 Oct 2022

  Recount the recounts!

  Year 2 have been super-busy in English over the past few weeks learning all about recounts. They have written three recounts: one about their trip to St Aldhelm’s Church, one about their trip to Kingston Maurward, and their final one was about The Caterpillar’s Shoes. They have been learning all about time adverbs and sequencing events in chronological order. We are so proud of their amazing writing.

   

  We have come to the end of our Science topic on Habitats and our Art topic about Henry Rousseau. The children have had lots of fun with both topics and have produced some super work.

   

  Congratulations to 2MH who are the first class to have won the Radipole Bookworm Trophy. They won the trophy for having 85% of their class reading the expected five weekly reads. We are so very proud of all the children who have helped 2MH to achieve this award.

   

  Next half term, we are starting our DT project on puppets. This will involve some sewing, so any practise that they can do at home will be truly beneficial. Look out for the helpful hints letter that will be coming your way shortly.

  

• Year 5 - Nature Reserve

  Thu 20 Oct 2022

  Year 5 pupils had a wonderful time in the nature reserve and thoroughly enjoyed the fresh air and autumn sunshine. After another successful week of learning, the children were ready to spend some well-earned time outside, playing imaginative games, building dens and exploring the woods. It was lovely to see all the children getting on so well together and making the most of our wonderful outside space.

  

• Year 6 Nature Reserve

  Wed 19 Oct 2022

  On Friday, Year 6 went into the nature reserve to create 2D shapes. Some groups even managed to make 3D shapes using items found in the nature reserve as well as plasticine! 

  

• Year 1 Rain guage

  Fri 14 Oct 2022 K Ayles

  Over the last few weeks we have been learning about the weather. We have had fun being a weather forcaster and this week made our own rain gauges. We are keeping a record of the weather each day and we have drawn symbols to represent the different kinds of weather.

   

  

• Year 4- Torches

  Thu 13 Oct 2022

  This week, we worked hard in our design technology lessons to build a working torch for a specific client (anyone from a gardener, to  a rock-climber, to a spy). First we drew a design, then we built our circuit and finally we produced a torch case made from different materials.

• Year 4=- spiderweb hunt and Harvest Festival.

  Fri 07 Oct 2022

  This week, year 4 spent some time in the nature reserve hunting for different kinds of spider web. The pictures below show some of the ones we found. This Thursday, we also made our way to St Aldhelm’s church, where we took part in a harvest festival and sang some of the songs we’d been working on in our singing assemblies.

  

• Year 2 - recounts

  Fri 07 Oct 2022 FProbert

  What a super week we have had! On Tuesday, Years 1, 2  and 3 walked down to St Aldhelm's Church to celebrate Harvest Festival. There were songs and stories, and the children were a great credit to the school. 

  The trip coincided with our English work on recounts. We have had a go at writing sentences with time adverbs at the beginning. We took photos of our trip, so that we could put them in chronological order. One of new favourite words -chronological, which means in the right order.  We will continue working on recounts over the next two weeks. Luckily, we have another trip to look forward to next Wednesday - Kingston Maurward. This trip will not only will help with our English work, but also our Science work on Habitats. 

  Remember if you have any spare time over the weekend, maybe go and check out some local habitats near you.
