Lower Woodford Class

Welcome to Lower Woodford class

Summer term 7 – beginning 13th July

Hello Lower Woodford,

The last week of the year is finally here… And what a strange year, it’s been. I’ve been so impressed by all your super learning throughout the year – in school and at home.

Here are a few photos of learning this week.

Sienna’s super string stamp	A wonderful working tippy tap	Careful quill writing

This week we are joining the whole school in learning more about inspirational people. Please send in photos of your work – we’d love to display some of it next term.

Don’t forget to join us at 2pm to watch our end of year leaver’s service.

Have a wonderful summer holiday and remember to keep on being kind. You have all done some fantastic learning this year and we are looking forward to seeing you all back together in September,

Miss Naish

Olivia has been busy making this super vegetable planter with her Dad and planting vegetables in it.	George made a working tippy tap. He kept going and improved his design so the water didn’t pour on his foot! Well done George.

On Friday in our class worship this week we watched Faith at home ‘Kindness’ and thought about how kindness is not just big acts of kindness but also small acts of kindness, which we can all do each day. See if you can do lots of small kind things this week.

What a fantastic map – well done for Oscar for finding out where so many different things come from.

I love this wildflower jewellery and fantastic Van Gogh inspired paintings by Annabelle and beautiful dress designs by Freya.

Here is Annabelle’s snack shop – what a fantastic way to practise using money and counting in 2s, 5s and 10s. Have you seen any tadpoles on your walks or in your garden?

Half term

Here are some ideas of things to do at home if you run out of ideas…  100 things to do inside before you are six .

Thanks for your photos this week – I love seeing your smiling faces and amazing creativity.

Did the world come to your house this week? I wonder what you found from different countries in your house? What a fantastic diary Bea.

There has been some super counting and shopping using coins.

Super science identifying and labelling different plants and different parts of plants.

It is wonderful to see lots of you enjoying being outside. Fred is reading King Flashpants on a comfy bench… What are you reading and have you found a lovely place to read yet… So far I have seen dens, boats, cardboard boxes, benches… Have you made a butterfly feeder and seen any butterflies on it yet?

Have a wonderful half term. And as always remember to be kind – to your grown ups, your brothers and sisters and yourselves.

From Miss Naish

Week beginning 18th May 2020

Wow, there have been so many photos of amazing learning this week – I’ve enjoyed seeing what you’ve been up to. Here are a selection of photos.

I hope you enjoyed learning about bees and their waggle dance. Here are some super storyboards and some fantastic pictures. Keep looking out for bees in your garden. Last week in the school garden we planted some wildflowers for the bees to enjoy… I will send photos once they start growing.

It is great to see some of you using the play activities for counting in 5s.

There has been some more incredible new stories based on Lila and the Secret of Rain this week. I love the fantastic imagination in these stories.

There are also some fantastic new sentences with new words from Bringing the Rain to the Kapiti plain. Did you manage to stand on one leg?

I love these photos of some fantastic outdoor learning. G found a feather, researched what bird it came from and then wrote an amazing factfile. I love the factfile about Squiggles too. What a fantastic idea!

I wonder have you tried any activities from the coronavirus time capsule? Have a read of this super piece of writing about the coronavirus… I wonder if some of you are feeling the same?

What books are you enjoying at the moment. I love these two reading pictures. One of the books is ‘Fantastically great women who changed the world’ – I wonder is there someone in the book who you find particularly inspiring.

Here are some fantastic African drums with beautiful patterns.

Zac has been inspired by our African topic to think how we could help provide safe spaces to wash hands… He would love to twin our classroom tap to provide a tap in an African village. Do check your emails for his super presentation and to support.

The C of E have started a weekly online worship for primary schools. The first two episodes are on Hope and Courage. Click here to view.

Listen to each other and the teachers

Look after each other

Look after the classroom and things in it

Ask a grown up for help if you are unsure.

Tell a grown up if you see something you don’t like or something unexpected happens and click on the dolphin.

Always ask before closing someone’s work.
