Key Stage One Student Led Conferences

Hello parents/carers,

As the Autumn term draws to a close and we all begin to wind down for the Christmas break, we would like to invite parents and carers into school during the first two weeks back in January to attend your child’s student-led conference (SLC).

In this 10 minute session, your child, accompanied by their teacher or crew leader, will walk you through their journey so far. Children will talk about their achievements, challenges and next steps as well as showing you their favourite pieces of beautiful work.

Days are Monday (9th), Tuesday (10th), Wednesday (11th) There are morning, afternoon and evening slots available.

Please complete the form below by the deadline which is Thursday 15th December at 5pm.

Many thanks,

Key Stage One Team xx

Baking shape spotty cookies

Today in Maths we learn about weighing, measuring and comparing shapes. We followed directions and had fun when making shape spotty cookies to celebrate Children in Need Day.

Being scientists this week

Class 4 looked at a variety of everyday materials, sorted them on the basis of their physical properties. We used scientific vocabulary to describe the properties of materials. Then, we used different materials to build our castles, made predictions and tested the castles to find out which material would be best to survive in wind and when exposed to water.

Celebrating Bonfire night

Class 4 had a great time making the firework pictures. We then came up with some fantastic adjectives to describe fireworks and learnt about some safety rules around fireworks.

A book look with a difference . . .

Miss Tunney and I have had the most lovely day! We wanted to see and hear about all the amazing learning going on across our campus, so rather than sit in our office flicking through work, we invited the owners of the exercise books to share their work instead.

We have had children in our early years reciting We’re Going on a Bear Hunt with actions, students in key stage one sharing some fantastic knowledge about castles and how their expert visitor helped them towards answering their guiding question, lower key stage two being so enthusiastic about their core text, The Lion and the Unicorn and finally year five and six explaining how clear and specific critique has helped them to improve their work into versions they are incredibly proud of.

To all of those children who shared their learning with us, thank you. It was a real privilege to hear about your learning so far this year. You all spoke confidently and showed real enthusiasm for your expeditions and the beautiful work you are producing.
