A week in the life of

Issue 9 - 10th November 2017

What a busy week we have had this

week. We were delighted to be joined by members of Worlaby Parish Council,

who kindly donated paint and spent the afternoon on Tuesday working with

every child in school to paint stones to create a giant poppy to be placed at the

memorial for Armistice. The children enjoyed this project and we saw some

wonderful creations. Thank you to Pam, Steve and Mel and Worlaby Rocks!

Anti-Bullying I was incredibly proud this week to accompany 3 of our Year 6 pupils and 5 former Worlaby Pupils to receive an award for anti-

bullying. The children were successful in achieving the Diana

Award for anti-bullying work they did in the academy over the last year. We had a great day at the awards ceremony which was held at Leeds College of music. The children were presented with their awards by Danny Jones from McFly and they also got to meet gold medal winning Paralympian Hannah Cockroft. They then spent the afternoon in workshops with the Diana Award charity volunteers. Finally, they thought about

their next project and created a social action plan. They are all a credit to Worlaby Academy and I was honoured to accompany them. Well done to Elliot, Daniel, George, Casey, Isabel C, Izzy, Macey and Bethany. Take a look at the following link to read the Diana Award roll of honour (page 89). http://diana-award.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2016-2017-Roll-of-Honour.pdf

CLASS 1

This week in Foundation we have had great fun learning to add, counting the total from both

groups to do this. The children have had fun doing this in their independent learning time too. We have also used the Numicon and Unifix to

match quantities, consolidating that the children know what each Numicon shape is worth.

In phonics we have learnt the sounds "f" and "ss" and the tricky words "I" and "in". We have enjoyed playing with the mud kitchen in

the outdoor area making "conker soup" and "chocolate milkshakes" and there has been some

excellent opportunities for the children's communication and language within this play. Please may I remind you how important it is to

send your child to school with their reading book and flash cards every day, this is essential for us

to be able to support and teach the children. We look forward to another exciting week!

Class 2

'Soldiers are real heroes'. This week in class 2

we have focussed on the significant annual British

event of Remembrance and how it is also

commemorated across the world. We have

discussed when it began and learned that it is

almost 100 years ago. We looked at some pictures

and watched some cartoon based clips on life in

the trenches in World War 1. We discussed how it

might have felt to be a soldier in World War 1 and

all the children produced some fantastic writing

about the time. Remembrance Day was the

subject of art as all the children created a poppy

by sewing parts together and made their own

medal. This must have prompted discussion from

the children at home as Oliver proudly shared his

daddy's medal from the army. We were all very

excited to see them, thank you for sharing them.

The children painted a stone with members of the

village and they will be put together near the

cenotaph in Worlaby as a special poppy for

Remembrance Sunday. In maths this week the

children have been completing addition and

subtraction and been learning it doesn't matter

which way you add numbers, the total is the same.

Year 2 have started to realise numbers in addition

and subtraction equations are linked and 3

numbers can be used to make 4 related equations.

The children's ball handling skills are improving

and we have started to play a simple version of

bench ball. The children in Year 2 have brought a

letter home to see if there is any interest in

attending a bench ball event at the Vale Academy.

Please could you send any empty cereal boxes for a future DT project in class 2.

Class 3

Another busy week in Class 3 – we have crammed a

lot in, despite only having a four-day week! We have

spent most of our English lessons looking at different

grammatical features to help us improve our

descriptive writing; we have had a go at using similes

and expanded noun phrases, which will hopefully

help improve the quality of our hot writes next week.

Maths has seen us continuing with our multiplication

and division unit; this week we have had a go at

multiplying and dividing multiples of 10, using our

knowledge of times tables to help us find the

answers. It has taken a bit of getting their heads

round at times, but all the children have had a really

good go at it. Next week we will start looking at

different methods of multiplication.

We have started a new topic in Science; moving on

from sound to light. Our first lesson concentrated on

sharing our existing knowledge of the topic and also

discussing sources of light – some of the children

were surprised to learn that some objects they

thought were sources of light, such as the moon,

actually aren’t and only reflect light. I was amazed to

hear how knowledgeable some of the children

already are on this topic and think they will really

enjoy it when we get a bit further into it.

Class 4

This week we have been working hard on our

times table knowledge and making the link

between multiples and factors in preparation for

fraction work next week. In English, we have

looked at how to use a semi-colon to separate two

main clauses and we have hot-seated Edmund

(thanks Jasmine) to find out how he felt after the

death of Aslan in The Lion, the Witch and the

Wardrobe. We also wrote in character to explore

his feelings further. We have also tied together

our WWII topic, looking at the Battle of Britain

and how that was a turning point in the war. We

have looked at how the local town of Grimsby was

affected by the Blitz and tried to describe the

scene of bombed streets using personification.

Today, we started to make our own Spitfire

models out of card and we'll explore that further

as the topic comes to an end. I think we've really

enjoyed this topic and our camouflage collage

display is coming along nicely to celebrate our

work from earlier in the term. Can you spot who is camouflaged onto the newspaper page?
