Class RB says "Thank You"

During this time of year it can sometimes be easily forgot that people do amazing things for us all year round. Unfortunately a thank you is sometimes forgotten as well. For that reason we have written people some thank you letters. The letters we wrote could be to absolutely anyone, here are a few examples.

Here's another letter written by Mason.

Dear Mrs English

I hope you are well. I am writing because of something that you have done for so long. I am writing because you have cooked dinner for so long. When it hasn't come to me I am feeling really hungry but when it does arrive I am really happy. Again thank you and happy new year.

Love from Mason

And finally a letter from Alfie.

Dear Mark the Caretaker

I hope you are well. I want to thank you because you make sure the dining room tables are up. You make me put my lunch on the table. It makes me feel like I'm at home, actually it is better than home. I hope you have a very good Christmas.

From Alfie

And the stars this week are...

In a class full of stars, every now and again one or two children really stand out and over the past seven days that has happened once again.

Being the end of another half term it means it has been assessment time and another time for the children to show off what they have learnt. In literacy this has come in many forms, from writing about a strange object appearing on the juniors field (otherwise known as a car bonnet that Mr Davies acquired from a scrap yard) to creating their own stories based on the classic Christmas film "The Snowman". The person who really stood out while completing this, and is consequently Class RB's "Literacy Star of the Week" is Ethan Rackham. Well done Ethan, you have really been trying hard all week. 

With numeracy there have been many hard workers and many people who have been getting quicker and quicker in terms of their mental mathematics. Katey Mowles is one of these children and although she can be quiet at times in class, it has been great seeing her share her knowledge with others and become a shining star. Well done Katey for being our "Numeracy Star of the Week".

There has been one person that has really shined above everyone else though. A person who, in the past, has been quiet during the whole class input even though I know they can answer the questions. A person who, due to wanting to get things perfectly right, has not always completed a large volume of work. Over the past week this person has been volunteering answer after answer, he has produced large amounts of work in all lessons and has been helpful towards his class mates. The "Superstar of the Week" goes to ...

Will Anderson

Well done Will. You get to keep the trophy for a week, keep it up

A Yummy Christmas Dinner With Hilarious Jokes

Today during our fun packed day we managed to have a delicious Christmas dinner dished up by our fantastic teachers and mid-day assistants. Before we ate our yummy meal, which included yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, stuffing, sausages wrapped in bacon, lots of vegetables and of course .... turkey, we had some brilliant crackers. These crackers had toys and hats in but the best part, according to Mr Bird, were the funny jokes. Here are some of our favourites...


What is black and white and eats like a horse?

A zebra!



What car does a baby drive?

A mini pooper!



Why did the chicken cross the road?

To get to the other slide!



Why did the hedgehog cross the road?

To see his flat mate!



What did the submarine say to the ship?

I can see your bottom?



Why did the banana go to the doctors?

Because he wasn't peeling very well?



What has 22 legs and 2 wings?

A football team

Year 2's Christmas Play

It wasn't that long ago that our Year 2 classes put on their Christmas play entitled "Penguin Pete". They were all fantastic and pulled off two fantastic shows to familiy and friends.

We'll get some comments from the children and write them in here as soon as we can.

We filmed each scene during one of the practices, along with the catchy tunes, so hopefully we'll be able to stitch them together to create a fantastic DVD for them all. Until that time occurs, here's a quick preview of one song. I hope you enjoy it.

A Strange Thing Happened Last Night

 On Thursday 8th December the children arrived in school to find that something very strange had happened.

Ahana Mitra from Class RB wrote a quick report on this strange occurance, this is what she wrote...

Opening
It started like this last night this metal thing fell from the sky and landed in the juniors field. Today I found it in the juniors playground but Mr Bird told me first. I think it is a unidentified flying object in the sky. It happened after the carols around the tree. It happened on Wednesday the 7th of December.

Our first thoughts were...
I first saw it on Thursday. I thought it had came from out of space. I think it is a ufo or a little bit of wing of a plane. It could also be a robot made out of metal and square bits have fallen off.

What is it?
It is actually a car bonet because Mr Davies and Andrew told us and they put it there. They did not tell us in the first place because they wanted it to be a little bit of a joke.

How did it get there
Mr Davies and Andrew from Class RA put it there.

What should we do next?
We should tell Mrs Tyler the head teacher.
