1950's England and the Sorting Hat of Hogwarts.

Dear Parents, 

In the last week the children enjoyed investigating the rest of the story about the Gingerbread man and all his antics!

We researched how to measure accurately.

Made gingerbread gloop

E'to made a surprising likeness with the tap-tap. This is a great educational tool for fine motor-skills. 

Our angry prisoners of Azkerban, the jail from Harry Potter where only the meanest of dementors go!

Lewis and E'to made a practical escape plan for the Gingerbread Man. 

We found out how hard it is to balance heel-to-toe. 

Rich made bridges and was joined by his friends. 

Lewis was timing himself to make tessellating shapes. 

The sorting hat put the children in their Hogwarts Houses. 

During the course of this week we shall be trying different foods from 1950's England. Of course we started with Tea. We smelt different types, and tried a nice fragrant non-caffeine tea. 

The children are enjoying their new topic of investigating a different culture. We have seen many landmarks and looked at the differences in our cultures and societies, such as what we eat, where we live, how we travel and the clothes we wear.
I hope to update you at the end of the week with some photos of International Day. 

Kind regards, 

Douglas and the RP Team. 

What does the fox say ?!

Dear Parents,

I hope you have been enjoying the homework we have been setting. The children have been having lots of fun in class, and this week we were lucky enough to go and watch the show for Chinese New Year! It was such a wonderful show and we really enjoyed it.
During the afternoon we did lots of Chinese activities such as building lanterns and frames for our Chinese symbols.

We ended the day with our Mandarin class and were glad to see Miss Amber.
We have been building more bridges, both indoors and out to try and cross the river!

We have been investigating the size of the gingerbread man, and using him to measure how tall we are.

 Linking in with our maths planning we have been looking at pattern and  design. The children have been using various items to look at number and missing values.

Have a wonderful week, Kind regards

Douglas and the RP Team.
