Well done to Mia and Eric for achieving their Golden Hedgehogs  for self registration last week. These are awarded during Celebration Act of Worship on Fridays to children who have shown that they can form the letters of their name correctly. There are already more children on the way to getting their Golden Hedgehog or Squirrel this week.

Keep up the good work everyone.

Welcome to St Nicholas to all our new children, they have all settled very quickly into school life and are excited about their learning. We are really proud of how the children represented the school today when walking down to the church an

Here is the overview of what we will be learning this term during our topic Marvellous Me.

James and Kate Wimble brought their tractor in to show us. it was enormous. The children asked lots of questions and were given seeds to plant in our garden centre role play area

.

This week Mrs Pearce found some magic beans on her way to school. Miss Simmonds threw them out the door at the end of the day on Monday. Tuesday morning a beanstalk had grown over the slide and a castle had appeared.

The children made warning signs and drew pictures of the giant. We had a go at making our own giant castle using the wooden blocks outside. It was great fun !

Wow what a day!

Today we had a visit from James who is a trial bike specialist. He told us that he had been learning his skills since he was 15. He has been the British Champion 4 times and the European Champion twice. He was amazing he could make his bike jump over people and objects.

When we got back to the classroom we found a letter from The Avengers asking us to complete two special missions. We had to make a superhero costume and train to be superheroes on our obstacle course outside. We had a great day.

 

Today we visited the church for our Easter service. The children all behaved so well. We sang the song “Spring Chicken”.

We’re starting our summer reading challenge. For your child to get a raffle ticket they need to have read 5 times in a week. Please could you mark this in their normal reading record and on their Summer Reading Challenge record as well. Each raffle ticket they get will be entered into a draw at the end of term. There are two Kindles to be won so the more raffle tickets they have the more chances there are to win. Good Luck!

This week we have taken part in science week. On Monday we worked with Year 1 and 2. We investigated wind direction by blowing bubbles and timing how long they took to burst, how far they travelled and which direction they travelled in. It was great fun

.

We have also investigated making slime from corn flour and water. When we tried to pick it up it ran through our fingers and when we pressed it hard it went solid. On Wednesday, in the warm sunshine, we watched it turn back into a powder
