Wonderful Wednesday, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 24th Mar 2021 @ 4:07pm
The Koalas have had a Wonderful Wednesday.
The day started by tackling comprehensions based on extracts from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The class did an amazing job remembering the steps needed to be great reading detectives.
Next was spelling where great fun was playing a game where they had to solve anagrams for ey words- they enjoyed the game so much that you can now find it as a material, along with 2 other games on Google Classroom.
After a nice run around in the sunshine we came back in , did our fluent in five maths warm up and then began to use base 10 to subtract 2 digit numbers.
We practised our poem for the Easter Service tomorrow and then began to watch the Easter Story.
Lunch was delicious- roat chicken or pasta and yummy chocolate crispie cakes for all who wanted them.
The afternoon has flown by wit coding in computing, learning about colours in French and then singing in music.
A truly WONDERFUL day

Birthday Fun, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 23rd Mar 2021 @ 6:57pm
Today we have had a lovely day ceebrating the 7th birthday's of 3 members of the class.
We had time in the hall playng corners, musical statues and having a dance. We also did the hokey kokey.
Back in class we made a list of all of the things we would like to do for the rest of our party day. We chose a quix, charades, colouring, dancing, drawing and watching something on the big screen.
After lunch we managed to do all of those things as well as singing happy birthday and eating delicious birthday cake.
It really has been a lovely day .

Thank you Koalas, by Mrs Fletcher

Thank you Koalas for a wonderful week. You have worked hard and done some amazing learning.
Your knowledge of the Great Fire of London is truly outstanding and your enthusisam for our book in English, Vlad and the Great Fire of Londo has been brilliant to see.
In maths some of us have found using base 10 to add 2 two digit numbers a challenge but you jave all shown grit nd determination and you will all get there very soon.
Today learning about the census and linking it with your knowledge of the nativity story was great too. Your skills to draw your own tally charts to record the data we collected for our mini census really impressed me.
It has been a perfect Longton week, well done everyone.
See you all next week for more fantasti learning and lots of Easter fun

Online Safety, by Mr Pearson
Date: 3rd Mar 2021 @ 4:59pm
The online world offers amazing opportunities but also brings elements of potential risk and for Parents, making sense of the online world can appear to be an enormous challenge. Unlike previous generations, the online environment is an integral part of children’s lives and therefore we can no longer consider their wellbeing or safety without also considering their relationship to technology. However, staying safe online is fundamentally about behaviours rather than the technology itself and if approached from this perspective, we can begin to gain confidence to support our children.
The link below provides some useful tips for Parents when discussing the online environment with children. In addition, this page also contains a variety of resources which can be used to develop knowledge and confidence to support children. You will also find useful information in the news and events section of the site through the link at the bottom of the page.
