Redbourn Primary School - 20.4.18


Welcome back!

When we returned from our Easter holidays our school had become Redbourn Primary School. We are reminding each other to use the words Upper and Lower school. We also met Mrs Hinchliffe our new Head Teacher. We have welcomed Mrs Hinchliffe by drawing her portrait.

Today was the very special opening of our school and we have planted a tree to remember.

On Wednesday we had a fantastic trip to Buckinghamshire Railway Centre to start our new topic called ‘All Aboard!’
Ramsey: I liked when we rode on the Steam train, it went forwards and backwards slowly.
Luca: We had lunch outside in the sunshine
Kaspar: We learnt there are three types of train - steam, electric and diesel.
Kaitlyn: The miniature train was my favourite part because there were lots of characters to spot

We learnt that steam trains need water, coal and fire and it can take up to three hours to get a steam train ready to go!
 Well done to everybody for representing our school so well.

In English we have re-told the story of Goldilocks and the three Bears in our own words. We have been reading different versions of the story, Luca’s favourite ending was when Baby Bear ran after Goldilocks because he wanted to play with her.

Star of the Week goes to Sam for his fantastic attitude towards all learning. Elliot is spending the weeking with Night for his great writing.

Welcome to Maple Class! - 15.9.17

It's been a busy first couple of weeks in Maple Class and we've all settled in really well. Yesterday we went on a school trip to Knebworth House because our topic is called Once Upon A Time. What was your favourite part? Ramsey and Caitlin – My favourite part was looking at the big dinosaurs Lucy – I liked the Three Little Pig’s huts. We huffed and puffed but we couldn’t blow them down. Sam – My favourite part of the story trial was when we stomped over the Three Billy Goats Gruff bridge. Well done to everyone for representing our school so well on the visit - the adults are very proud! In English, we wrote recounts of our trip using time connectives. In Maths this week we have been using our double facts to solve near doubles. Eden said ‘If I know double 4 = 8, I can use that fact to solve 4+ 3 because it’s just one less’. On Monday, we started learning Spanish with Mrs Couch. We're looking forward to learning lots of new words and phrases. Well done to Rams...

Bonfire Night - 3.11.17

This week our writing, guided reading and topic have been centred about Bonfire Night. We have been learning about why we celebrate bonfire night during topic. We shared the story of The Gunpowder Plot. Max – Guy Fawkes wanted to blow up the houses of parliament but he couldn’t because the guards found him. Sam – Guy Fawkes put gunpowder at the bottom of the king's throne. We thought about how modern day celebrations are linked to The Gunpowder Plot. In English, we have been poets exploring lots of different language such as onomatopoeia (sound words),rhyme and alliteration. Next week we will be using our ideas to create our own firework poems. Today we wrote a rocket diary in creative writing, imagining that we were a rocket blasting into the sky. Today we came to school wearing bright colours to raise awareness of staying safe in the dark. We have revised road safety as well as ways to stay safe on bonfire night. Jake is Star of the Week for always being ready to ...

NSPCC Number Day - 2.2.18

Today we have come to school wearing a number to help raise money for NSPCC. Thank you to everyone who has donated. Sam - I'm wearing number 9 and if you turn 9 around it looks like a 6 Rafferty - I'm wearing 10. I know 5 + 5 = 10 Ciara - I'm wearing 1. Double 1 = 2 Max - I'm wearing 36. It's a 2 digit number. To celebrate number day, we have been completing lots of money activities. We worked with our partner to find different combinations of money to pay for fruit. We even got to buy our own special snack too as a treat! In English, we have been reading a story called 'The Hunter' which was set in Africa. We have been using noun phrases and adverbs to describe the setting. In Science, we applied our scientific knowledge of habitats as well as our creativity skills to create shoe box habitats. We worked really well in teams. Tonight in the school disco - we look forward to seeing you! Well done to Rafferty who is Star of the Week for his team...
