MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL, MRS FISHBOURNE

What does risk taking involve?

This was the HPL focus for this week. The children learnt about how risk taking can help progress learning and how it helps children to be able to em-brace challenges. Risk taking within the classroom is essential when delivering an enquiry based curriculum. Teachers work hard to build children’s confidence

so that they feel safe enough to take these risks. This is based on the prem-ise of no one learns without making mistakes. It is actually quite the oppo-site – we learn when we make mistakes.Within the classroom children have learnt the following language of cog-nitive processes titles ‘Linking.’ Over

the next 3 weeks the children will all be introduced to the following language of learning:

• Generalisation – to use this sit-uation to predict what could happen in a similar situation.

• Connection finding – using pre-vious experiences to build on my learn-ing.

• Big picture thinking – to work on big ideas with full comprehensive approaches.

• Abstraction – to be able to use past experiences to generalise.• Imagination – to break a prob-lem down and group accordingly using prior and existing knowledge.

• Seeing alternative perspec-tives-listening to other and respecting their ideas.

We will be holding a parent workshop to discuss the introduction of HPL within our school, this will take place on the 10th of February at 8:00am.

The first round of Al Dar Acade-mies Quran Competition was held for The Pearl Academy children this week. The participating chil-dren made a clear effort which was greatly appreciated. We encourage them to continue their keenness in learning the Holy Quran, and we also thank the support and coop-eration from their parents.

There are so many silent letters at the end of words in French!

The Year 4 children will be looking at numbers to 60. They will be learning days of the week and months of the year and will be able to give their birth date

This week in Foundation Stage 1 we went on a submarine voyage in the deep, dark ocean to investigate the sea-life that lives there. After our voyage we were inspired to paint some fish of our own.

Our rhyme this week is ‘The Animal in the Ocean’. The rhyme can be found at the following link:

As part of the My Identity programme we have been learning about sustaina-bility. We looked at small things we can do to make a big difference in protect-ing our planet. The children were asked to be mindful when using water and

to remember to turn off the tap when cleaning their teeth. We looked at how plastic rubbish which has been thrown in the ocean is extremely dangerous to sea creatures. With this in mind, we are encouraging the children to reduce the amount of single-use plastic they use. We would ask you to support us in this by not sending disposable bottles or cutlery into school.

Our highlight this week was dancing and singing with Music Monkeys. The children enjoyed learning new songs and movements and were all excited to join in.

This week we have continued to learn about the farm and have talked about what we get from a farm, e.g. fruits and vegetables and milk from a cow. We have enjoyed many stories relating to the farm and animals. We have enjoyed reading

REMINDERS

LABELLING CLOTHING

Please remember to label all of your child’s belongings before coming to school. This includes water bot-tles, sweaters, lunch-boxes, swim-ming bags and library bags. If your child has lost an item and it is not labelled, it is very difficult to trace it back. There is also a Lost and Found area in school where you can check for your child’s belongings if they go missing.

UNIFORM

A few children have been coming to school in the incorrect sweaters. Please send your child to school in the correct uniform as bright colour-ed jackets are not part of the uni-form.

SNACK/LUNCH

We encourage healthy eating at The Pearl Academy so we ask you to pack a healthy snack, which could be ei-ther fruit or salad, such as an apple or carrot sticks. For lunch, please provide your child with something substantial, for example, sandwich-es or pasta.

We were fortunate enough to have a former Olympian come in to speak to us, Mr Luschi competed in the 1992 Olympic Rowing event. It was great to hear about his experience at the games, he was an inspiration for us all. After hearing from a real-life Olympian we spent some time taking part in our own mini Olympics and created the Olympic rings as a year group, it was a really fantastic way to start our new enquiry.

In English we have begun looking at biographies, exploring some of the structural and language features of the genres. We have looked at the biographies of Mo Farah and Usain Bolt amongst others.

In Maths this week we completed a range of Olympic themed Maths challenges, these ranged from graph drawing to problem solving.
