What a wonderful week.
It has been a real pleasure getting to know your children more fully over the last week and I have named them my 'little Spitzbubs'. Through our class story - Fritz and Kurt - we have learnt that Spitzbub means rascal.
During maths it has been wonderful to see the enthusiasm for learning that they all have. They have a wonderful 'can do' attitude and are not afraid to share their scores, admit they don't know or to ask for help. We are focusing on our times tables so please encourage them to use TTR for at least 20 minutes a day.
During English we are needing to focus on our handwriting but they have wonderful ideas and are excited to write their diary entries including the skills we have been working on.
Our afternoons have been focusing on our PSHE - being me in my world. The children are incredibly empathetic and aware of how good citizens behave in the country and within our school environment.
A reminder that PE is on a Wednesday and Friday. Please can I ask all parents to ensure they have done their consents on their arbor so that next week I am able to share some pictures of our learning. Many thanks, Sam

Welcome to Year 4|5What will we be learning in the wider curriculum this term?
For the first time this year, we are able to share with you the curriculum map that we use to plan the wider curriculum content and learning for each half term. The wider curriculum includes all of the subjects except English and maths. We use the National Curriculum for our teaching decisions and this is based on the knowledge that we want children to gain. There is a question that guides the work and we make sure that they get a good share of all of the subjects across the year, so some boxes may have less in them for one term than other subjects. We hope that you find these maps helpful and when we start a new one, we will send it to you. It would be great if you could talk with your child about what they are learning from time to time now that you know.
Looe Primary Academy Autumn 1, Week 1: Welcome back!

Welcome back!
We have had a wonderful first week in Foundation / Year 1 this week! Are big question this term is ‘who am I?’ and we have been exploring this in lots of different ways. In science we have been thinking about the human body. We were really impressed when we found out that there is over 200 bones in the human body! We have also been thinking about our question through art; using pencils, crayons paint and other ways to make pictures of ourselves.
We have also been exploring our new outdoor area! We have been putting our construction hats on to build houses, and we have been searching for minibeasts, leaves and clouds in our Geography, to learn more about the world around us.
Some updates:
PE days are Wednesday and Thursday.
Books will be changed on a Friday.
Please bring wellies that are named into school if you can.
Please remember to book lunches via ParentPay.
I think we are in for a great year!

Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy Reading for Pleasure
Posted 10/09/2024

Reading for Pleasure at Brunel.
At Brunel Primary and Nursery Academy, we are passionate about nurturing a love for reading in our children. We believe that reading is not just an essential academic skill but a powerful gateway to unlocking a child's full potential. Reading for pleasure can transform children’s lives, impacting their confidence, creativity, and ultimately their life chances. That's why we have been working hard to ensure that every child at our school has the opportunity to develop a genuine love for reading.
At Brunel, we’ve been transforming our school environment to reflect our commitment to reading. We’ve worked hard to develop inviting and engaging reading spaces across the school that encourage children to pick up a book, explore new worlds, and enjoy stories. We want to create lifelong readers who are curious, thoughtful, and imaginative. By working together—both in school and at home—we can give our children the best possible start, equipping them with the skills and confidence they need for the future.
Let's continue to foster that love for reading and watch our children thrive.

Emazdad - Road Safety WorkshopWednesday 25th September
Today we have had a wonderful road safety talk from Emazdad. We learnt about keeping safe on the road and the assembly was amazing. The children were able to recall so many of the rules for keeping safe. See if they can recall some of those rules when they are at home.
STOP ... LOOK and LISTEN.

Wadebridge Primary Academy Welcome to our first week back!

Welcome to Year 4!
It has been lovely to
see everyone back at school this week and everyone in Year 4 has been raring to
get going with their new learning.
Traveling back in
time!
This term, our History topic
is all about the Victorians and how they lived, travelled and invented. We
kicked our learning off by examining some interesting Victorian documents and
we discovered quite a lot about Queen Victoria’s life. Take a look at the 1881
census – we discovered that although Victoria was the Queen of England, her
husband, Prince Albert, was still the ‘Head of the household’! We wondered how Queen Victoria would have
felt about that!
We will continue to become
great historians as we discover what it was like to be poor in Victorian times
especially if you ended up in the workhouse.
English
We were all very keen
to share the activities that we’d been up to in the holiday and so we thought
that it would be great to write a poem however, we decided to put a clever twist
to our ideas. Instead of writing a poem
about what we did do in the holiday, we let our imaginations run wild
and wrote about what we didn’t do!
You can read some of
the ideas here.
Maths
We always start a new
year off by revisiting ‘Place Value’. We worked with numbers up to 10,000 and got
to grips with what happens when a number is partitioned and what happens to
each digit when it’s multiplied and divided by 10, 100 and 1000.
As you can tell, even
though it was a short week, we packed a lot of great learning into our first
days back! We have a lot of interesting
and exciting things planned for our forthcoming year and we are looking forward
to seeing the children develop.
Best wishes for the
Year 4 Team

We will have two curriculum maps in Foundation / Year 1. Our first big question will be Who am I? For Autumn Term 1, and our second big question will be What can I play with today? These questions will guide our learning each half term.
You will receive a class blog at least once per week now, so please help us by updating your permissions on Arbor so that we can blog pictures of your child and share their learning with you more.
If you have any questions about the curriculum map, please let me know and I will help as much as possible.

Welcome back
We have had such a lovely few days back in school this week. We were met with smiles and laughter on Wednesday morning and this continued all week. The children have been superstars and have settled straight back into it.
Next week we will be back to having outdoor learning on Tuesdays so don't forget your wellies and Thursday is PE, come in wearing your kit.
Our enquiry question for this term is 'Who helps us?' - we have discussed what know already and what we would like to find out. The children are very keen to find out more about becoming a part of the emergency services, how animals can help us, what equipment certain jobs need to be able to do their jobs and about the transport they use. In history we will be learning about the lives of Florence Nightingale and Grace Darling and how equipment and transport has changed over time.
We have started our maths learning and our Reception children are learning to match, sort and compare objects. Year 1 and Year 2 are focusing on Place Value, recognising the value of digits in numerals, reading and writing numbers in words and comparing numbers.
In English Year 1 and Year 2 are going to be writing a biography and are currently looking at what these contain and how they are structured, learning information about some fantastic people along the way.
Next week we will start our new phonics sessions and the children will be coming home with their reading packs.
Don't forget to send in any 'Wow' moments your child would like to share with us to add to our board.
We look forward to seeing you at the meet the teacher afternoon on Wednesday at 2:45 and if you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Welcome Back Year 3/4 A - What a fantastic start!
We've been busy familarising ourselves with class routines and topics for this Half Term. We've also had chance to practise our handwriting and talk about the importance of learning Multiplication Tables, using rhymes to help us remember key facts.
"I ate and ate 'til I was sick on the floor, 8 x 8 = 64". I wonder if you can create your own?
Below are your KIRFS and this term's Mind Map.
