Thank you

2008-12-19T19:36:00.002Z

Mrs Stanton and Mrs Munslow would like to say a great big thank you for all the cards and presents you gave us. We're look forward to getting fat, smelling nice and using candles and ornaments to decorate our houses! Thank you!

Mrs Stanton would like to say an extra thankyou for all the lovely farewell cards, letters and presents. Despite the tears it was a lovely day and I shall remember you all for a long time to come. I hope I will be able to pop in and see you all next term then you can all tell me what a wonderful time you are having.
Have a great Christmas.
Mrs Stanton.

Disco Fun

The disco was great fun but the photos came out very dark - sorry!

Square challenge

2008-12-18T18:04:00.002Z

It might be Christmas but we are still working! We were trying to make a square using pentominoes. It was a lot trickier than it first looked.

We got the star jar full again! A brilliant class!

At last the world is complete!

Christmas activities

2008-12-09T17:18:00.004Z

Very many thanks to all the parents who came to join the class on Tuesday. On Wednesday we might discuss the importance of accurate cutting!! We hope you enjoyed yourselves - I am sure the children enjoyed having you there. Thank you also to the two little ones who were so wonderfully well behaved.

Elves!

2008-12-08T18:08:00.001Z

Have a look at our dancing elves on:

Then you can make some of your own. Have fun!

More Caerleon photos!

2008-12-07T08:29:00.001Z

More photos of our Caerleon trip.

Caerleon

2008-12-06T08:26:00.004Z

Photos in no particular order!

Taking "wine" with Jocasta as she explained about how the Roman celebrated Saturnalia. We had to wear funny elf like hats, the girls had the points down the back and the boys had the points down the front. We learnt that some of our Christmas customs are the same as those celebrated at Saturnalia.

Exploring the remains of the barracks.

Trying out the soldiers bunks! Unfortunately we were not allowed on the top bunks.

Trying out the shields.

Trying on battle dress!

Looking at various Roman finds in the museum.

Admiring one of the mosaics in the museum.

Clay mosaics

2008-11-28T17:58:00.001Z

This spectacular display is made up of all our clay mosaic tiles that we made. Thanks to Mrs Munslow who spent ages getting them all mounted straight.

Clay pots

2008-11-27T18:32:00.003Z

Very many thanks to Courtney's Mum and Dad who both came in to help the class make clay pots. They are drying out and will be painted with Roman designs next week. Well done to the class for not getting clay everywhere and thank you to the girls who wiped loads of chairs!

More mosaics!

2008-11-27T18:27:00.001Z

This time mosaics made with shapes that fit into a hexagon. Some children made very intricate patterns.

Roman pots

2008-11-25T16:56:00.001Z

We are getting ready to try our hand at making Roman pots. We have some very ambitious designs! It will be interesting to see what they turn out like!

2008-11-21T17:24:00.001Z

We all worked together to make two large mosaics. They look great! Ask your child to invite you in to see them.

More mosaics

2008-11-21T17:11:00.004Z

We experimented to see what mosaics would look like if triangular shapes were used. We made some great patterns. Many children wanted more paper to take home - I think you can buy packs of different pattern paper in WH Smiths! Would love to see any the children produce.

Golden time

2008-11-20T18:39:00.001Z

We got the star jar full again and some boys spent a lot of time using their imagination and building space ships.

Anti bullying week

2008-11-19T18:36:00.002Z

As part of anti-bullying week we designed a game to show people how to behave in the playground.
We all took part in the design and look forward to playing it to see if it works!

Children in need

2008-11-15T10:21:00.003Z

A lot of children brought pennies to add to our line. It was great to see it go all round the school...we had to be careful where we put our feet!

Firework poems

2008-11-07T18:07:00.003Z

We wrote some firework poems and typed them on the computer. We chose different types of text to make them look more interesting.

Firework poems again!

2008-11-07T17:48:00.003Z

And some more poems!
Some of us used a drawing program then found it very difficult to alter the text... but the poems looked so good we thought you'd like to see them complete with errors!!

World jigsaw

2008-11-05T18:14:00.003Z

Finally, after several discussions about where different countries should go, we completed a map of the world jigsaw puzzle...and no pieces were lost!

Special Award!

2008-10-24T17:21:00.003+01:00

Two of our children got special certificates for always trying their best and showing kindness and consideration to others. Well done both of you!

Non-fiction books

2008-10-24T17:06:00.003+01:00

We chose an animal and wrote a non-fiction book about it. We got our information from books and computer programs. These are our front covers.

Book Character Day, Friday 10th October.

2008-10-10T18:57:00.003+01:00

Great fun on book character day! See if you can guess which book these characters are from!

Shadows

2008-10-02T17:47:00.004+01:00

We spent a lot of time observing our shadows outside then we tried to make a picture showing our shadow. Can you work out where the sun must have been to make the shadow?

Winners!

2008-09-28T07:44:00.002+01:00

We are very proud of two members of our class who did really well in an art competition that the class took part in last term. Well done!

Free time!

2008-09-18T18:24:00.003+01:00

We got our star jar full so we were allowed some free time. This is what we chose to do.

Lunch time.

2008-09-18T12:37:00.003+01:00

Some of our class have wonderful table manners and know how to hold their knife and fork correctly. Well done!

Art

2008-09-09T19:01:00.002+01:00

We have been experimenting with different ways of drawing faces to show different emotions.

School Council

2008-09-09T18:58:00.001+01:00

We have chosen our representative on the School Council. Here they are.

First Day.

2008-09-04T17:21:00.002+01:00

We have had a lovely first day getting to know each other. We talked about our blog and posed for a photograph.
