Wow what a fantastic week we have had in Team Indigo and Team Royal, take a look at what we have been up to this week….

Maths

This week in maths we have been looking at time! We have looked at o'clock, quarter past, half past, quarter to and 5 minutes to. Miss Davey, Miss Barlow and I have been so impressed with your time skills, well done Team Indigo and Team Royal!

 

English

This week in English we wrote a recount of how we made our delicious pizzas. We focused on writing in first person and our time openers to support our writing. Below is an example we wrote together:

On Monday, I made a delicious pizza. I was given lots of colourful ingredients which I had to prepare. First, I prepped the vegetables by chopping the peppers and mushrooms and pouring the sweetcorn into a bowl. Next, I placed the pitta bread in front of me and coated it with bright red tomato puree. Then I sprinkled the grated cheese all over the pitta. After that, I selected the juiciest, greenest peppers and placed them carefully on the pitta. Additionally, I used mushrooms and pepperoni for extra flavour.

My pizza was finished! Finally, it was placed carefully in the oven by Miss Kirtley. When the pizza was cooked I got to taste it. It was delicious so I gave it ten out of ten.

Thematic Curriculum

This week in our thematic curriculum we became designers! We had to design and create our very own pizzas that we thought would be suitable for pirates! We had to ensure they showed a balanced diet by including the 5 food groups. Take a look at the fun we got up to.

PSHE

Every Friday this term we will be focusing on Be Here, Be You, Belong. This week we looked at Community! We talked about what we love about Ramsgate and why and then drew pictures of our favourite places. We then went to the forest school to tidy it up and keep our school safe and clean.

 

 

Love 2 Learn

P.E

This term, the children have been learning multicultural sports and disability games as part of their PE lessons and, like every term, we ask a PE expert to come in to build on their skills and develop their learning. We were fortunate enough to have Varun Shivdasani attend our school and teach us some amazing new skills.

Colour Run 1.30-1.55pm

On Friday 26^th May please can children wear old clothes into school and bring a full change of clothes, a towel and a plastic bag for messy clothes to go in. Parents if you could make your way to the field via the allotment gate. Parents will be given a paint pouch to throw at their child and if you do not mind getting messy you can even volunteer at our colour stations. Children will be wearing protective glasses and will be given a safety briefing before running around a designated track 3 times. Once they have run their allotted laps around the track, all children will be taken back to their classroom. Parents can collect children from their classroom straight away. If you do so, we advise bringing something to cover your car seat. Children not being collected after the colour run can change into clean clothes.
