Happy Red Nose Day Everyone!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Week beginning 8.3.24.

Wow!! We’ve had a busy few weeks. Yesterday, we celebrated World Book Day and completed a cover and blurb quiz. We had to use our best reading skills to look for clues. Every student in the class received a book of their choice or a voucher to spend on a book. 📚

On Wednesday afternoons, we have been attending Forest School. Please check out the photos of this week’s adventures. 

Diesel was our star 🌟 of the week last week and it was Connor this week! 🌟 Congratulations to both of you. 

Week beginning 19.2.25

Welcome back to the second half of the Spring Term! 😊

This week we have started a new book ‘Malala’s Magic Pencil’ this was written by Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize when she was only 16 years old! She fought for girl’s rights to attend school all around the World. 

In PE, we have been working our muscles and getting fitter and at Forest School we played hide and seek and went on a gnome hunt. Take a look at our class photos. 

In cooking, we baked ‘Mug Cakes’ they were very tasty! 🧁🍩

Happy Half Term Everyone

Week beginning 5.2.24

So far this term we've been on a super cool adventure  with our "Fair for All" theme! It's all about learning how everyone deserves to be treated equally and kindly. Here’s a sneak peek into what we’ve been up to:

We zoomed way back in time to learn about the Atlantic Slave Trade. It was a really important part of history that changed the world a lot. We talked about how it's super important to treat everyone with respect.

In Design and Technology, we turned into mini artists with weaving! We got to play with colours and patterns to make our very own designs.

We've become measuring masters in maths! Whether it's figuring out how long, how tall, or how much, we're on it. It's like being a detective, but with numbers!

We also learned about some amazing people called the Suffragettes, especially a lady named Emmeline Pankhurst. They were super brave and fought really hard so that women could have the same rights as men. They showed us how important it is to stand up for what’s right.

Take a look at our weaving designs.

Happy New Year everyone and welcome back to an exciting new term!

Clumber Class have settled into 2024 really well. They have all shown a lot of enthusiasm towards our new topic 'Fair for All' and have shown a positive attitude to returning to school and getting back into our class and school routines.

A couple of general reminders - Monday and Thursday are our PE days. PE will be inside this term, so please ensure your child has a kit including polo shirt, shorts and trainers/plimsolls.

Keeping hydrated is so important. Children can access water throughout the day, so a clearly labelled water bottle is essential. Friday is homework day. This needs to be returned by the following Thursday. Thank you.

Chester was our first Star of the Week of 2024 for showing respect to adults and his peers. Well done!

Merry Christmas Everyone! 
Best Wishes from Clumber Class.

Week beginning 11.12.23

On Wednesday and Friday we held our Christmas Cafes for parents. It was lovely to have our friends and families in school. We served hot drinks, mince pies and biscuits 🍪. Clumber class were the waiting staff and also the entertainers working on quizzes, word searches and Christmas jumper designs. We also shared our Christmas stories and did a quick Kahoot to test our parents’ knowledge of Christmas past and present. 🎁🎄🎅🏻 Thank you all for coming along to our Christmas Cafe. ⭐️

Week beginning 27.11.23

Clumber have been working so hard this week. We have been investigating shapes and learning about edges, vertices and faces. In English we have been reading texts about the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. We have been honing our retrieval skills and recording our answers as clearly as we can.

Chester was our star ⭐️ of the week this week for working independently in Maths. Well done! 

Week beginning 13.11.23

Since returning from our half term holidays, Clumber have been really busy!

Last Friday we brought in our homework projects which were fantastic. Please see the photographs. Our task was to create a Bronze Age Round House. We thought about the materials that we would need to use and designed it based on our own research. Our most surprising fact was that the houses didn't have any windows! (Just like the Twit's house!)

This week we visited Harvey Haddon Leisure Centre for a Dodgeball Festival. Mrs Rigley, Mrs Hutchinson, Miss Norgate and Andy were very proud of us. We played fairly at all times and followed the rules. We put in lots of effort and made some hits and catches. Well done Clumber.

Happy Half Term Everyone! 🎃👻🍃🍂🍁🍄🦔🐿

Week beginning 16.10.23

On Thursday, we celebrated our harvest festival. Everyone was really generous and kind. We had lots of donations from our families and the food we collected will be delivered to the food bank we support as a school.

Clumber class read poems and talked about what we are thankful for. Rubie read a prayer at the end of the assembly. 

This week we have continued with our maths work on shapes and learned about Stonehenge in humanities. We had a go at modelling our own too!  

Clumber have worked really hard this term and are looking forward to a wonderful half term holiday. 

This week we have been writing stories based on the book 'Stone Age Boy.' These are coming on really well. We have been using story maps to support our planning and have imitated the introduction.

At the beginning of the week we went foraging for materials to make some Stone age tools. We found stones, rocks and wood around the school grounds. 

In Independent Travel we have been venturing out a bit further and hope to try out the red route next week with a trip to Morrisons.

On Monday we visited Nottingham University for a Stone Age Experience. We all had a great time and learned so much about the Stone Age. We tried making a fire using a bow drill, hunted a bison with spears, painted a cave print, made animals with clay, tried out weaving, engraved a pretend bone using flints, milked a goat and made a fence for a goat pen out of sticks and rope!  Everyone was really well-behaved and used super manners all day.

Week beginning 5.9.23

Welcome back Clumber ☺️

We’ve had a very calm first week back despite it being very hot!🥵

The children have been amazing. They have settled into routines and we feel ready for a full working week next week. 

We have a new topic which is titled Walking with our Ancestors. This will begin with the Stone Age.
I’m hoping everyone has received information regarding the trip we have organised. This will be a great experience and will give the children a hands on approach to learning about the Stone Age. 

PE is still Monday and we have an extra slot on a Thursday. I will be sending homework on a Friday starting from next week. This will be a rotation of maths, english and humanities.

As always any questions please message us.😊

Clumber Class would like to wish all our friends and families a wonderful summer holiday.🌴🍦🏄‍♂️ Let’s hope the sun shines for everyone!🌞 Stay safe and we’ll see you all in September. 😊
