Week 7!

What a busy week and it's only Wednesday! The children have worked really hard for their class assembly which took place this afternoon. Everyone remembered their lines and did really well. It is a big deal to stand up in front of an audience so the children should be really proud of themselves, especially those that were brave enough to stand up all by themselves (Joshua Reid, Louis Woodrow and Olivia). Louis D was also going to but he was away.
Unfortunately there are things we would have liked to show which weren't finished yet. The children will all be making Punch and Judy shows this week which will undoubtedly be very entertaining!!! We haven't yet finished our seaside dance because we have been practising our tag rugby ready for this weeks festival. However, we were glad to have an audience for our poems!
A special mention to Gabriel, Alfie, Harriet, Max, Georgia, Joshua W, Louis W, Emily, Olivia and Immy who took part in the tag rugby festival at Painswick on Tuesday. They had an exhausting day which included 5 games of rugby and some coaching. They spent the entire day outside but luckily it wasn't too cold! Out of five games they managed to win two and as the day went on they grew more confident. Each child was presented with a medal at the end of the day and they really deserved it! Thanks to Mr Robinson-McCann for accompanying the children and for Mrs Evans (Joshua W's nan) who also spent the day with us and even provided us with a rug to sit on!
The children back in school were left with fun tasks to complete and have entered a walk to school month competition where they had to design a flag to promote walking to school. They also made some super seaside pictures which were displayed in Class 3 for our assembly today. Our seaside topic will end this week when we say goodbye to Ms Spyropoulos. We thank her for all her hard work and will be sad to see her go. She will undoubtedly be called back for supply which the children were happy to hear! Next term Mrs Monk will start the Roman topic with the class!
Have a happy half term everyone :)

Last week in Class 2

8/10/10 We have had another busy week. A priority has been learning our Harvest prayers ready for our Harvest celebration on Monday 11th. The children have done well at learning their lines but need to practise saying the prayers a bit louder and in time with their group/partner. It is a big deal for them to stand in front of an audience so hopefully we will be 'alright on the afternoon!'
As part of our science work we had a couple of visitors into the classroom this week. Cassia Reid (age 2) and India Freebrey (4 months). They were both very well behaved and gave us an opportunity to ask questions about their needs and capabilities. We also had great fun looking at our baby photos. They have been added to our science display for a guessing game.
Mrs Ayling joined us for P.E on Tuesday to do some tag rugby. The Y3/4 have the festival in a couple of weeks so we needed a bit of practise! It was a fun session which gave all the children a chance to try the game. We are planning to do more next week.
Other news: We have a student, Miss Gobey (from Cirencester College) working with us on a Monday and Tuesday until Christmas.
Kim Williams is student of the week this week. Well done Kim :)
