Making Christmas cakes

Before the Christmas holidays we talked about Christmas traditions and we used Mrs Noden’s Granny’s Christmas cake recipe to make our own Christmas cake gifts. We also decorated them in the traditional way.

Online Safety

This week Miss Darmanin led our half termly safety assembly with a focus on Online Safety. Children were reminded of the SMART safety rules and they discussed each element. A huge well done to everyone, Miss Darmanin was very impressed with how knowledgeable the children are. They were all reminded to share the SMART safety rules at home and to always make sure grown ups are aware of their online activity.

Fidget toys

A polite reminder to check with school staff before sending in any fidget toys. We have school approved fidget manipulatives for pupils to use should they be needed in class or around school. We also work with the school nursing team to provide support in this area. Children may need to use a manipulative to aid their concentration for a short period of time, or to support with a particular sensory need or anxiety. It is important that school staff are aware of such needs so that we can support pupils with effective strategies to overcome any barriers at particular times.

Please see Mrs Williams our SEND lead or Miss Darmanin our Mental Health lead, but always discuss with your child’s class teacher in the first instance to ensure we can work together to best support pupils.

Thank you.

Remembrance Day

We made our own Remembrance Day wreath using scraps of red fabric and then tied them onto a conifer wreath. We walked to the War Memorial at St Luke’s Church, Hodnet to lay the wreath we had made. We looked at the names on the war memorial.

Vegetable Soup

When we were learning the phoneme v we all bought in our favourite vegetables, we counted them and made equal amounts on our own tens frames. We then created observational drawings of the vegetables and cut them up to put in a class soup. We talked about how the vegetables had changed when they had been cooked.
