Super Chefs!

After our successful pasta making lesson Miss Tynans Read Write group decided to chose a story that focused on writing instructions again. Our story has been 'Sweetcorn Salad'. The children enjoyed deciding which ingredients they needed yesterday and making their own salads in our lessons today. They have begun making their own little books to explain how to make their salads. Look back later this week to see their amazing writing! 

Mulberry's Show and Tell

Today Mulberry class were fascinated by some special objects that members of the class had brought in to share. The children who were sharing had the opportunity to sit in the teachers chair, and were fantastic at answering questions about their special things.

Liam Bovell brought in his (recently deceased) tarantula to show us. Liam explained where the spider lived when he was alive (thankfully in a locked cage!) and spoke about how it moved around. The class loved the opportunity to examine close up the different colours of the spider, and we are going to do more research about why the spider had a purple stripe across his back! 

Finley Livingstone shared his newly acquired karate red belt which he received this weekend. He also had a shiny gold medal! We were really impressed by the effort that Finley puts into his karate practice.

 Libby Northwood shared a beautiful sand art racoon picture that she made this weekend. She had put a great deal of care into choosing the beautiful colours and making sure she didn't go over the lines!

 Arianna Solomon shared this beautiful landscape that her and her Mum worked together to create this weekend. She was able to explain how she made the picture and said that her favourite part was the fluttering butterflies.

We really enjoyed asking our classmates questions about their objects, so if you have anything interesting you have done at home or an achievement you are really proud of and would like to share don't forget you can bring it in to class too!

Spelling Bee at Drapers Academy

The key stage one spelling team arrived at Drapers Academy for the Harold Hill Locality spelling bee, with only one thing on their mind ... winning.

During the individual rounds Ayomide, Alfie, Omar and Teni did not put a letter wrong. Each member of the team spelt their words perfectly.

Unfortunately, during the speedy spelling round they were out spelt by pupils from Pyrgo Priory Primary School who went on to win the competition.

Well done to our four amazing spellers, you made us all very proud!

'A good cook?'

This week Miss Tynan's Read Write Inc group have been reading a story called 'A good cook?'. In the story Dad tried to cook pasta for dinner and had a bit of a disaster. For our writing task today we learnt how to make pasta properly and wrote instructions to tell Dad exactly what he needed to do. The children had to carefully list the ingredients needed then ensure they used bossy verbs and time connectives to give clear instructions. They thought of some great adjectives to describe what their pasta tasted like!
