The start to spring term
What a busy start to term we have had! We’ve began our new art unit on gestural drawing, our multiplication and division in maths, and our new book ‘The Stone Age Boy’ and class novel ‘Iron Man’. 😅
Our Star of the week this week is Ollie, who has been scoring 25/25 on his TTRockstars soundcheck. Well done Ollie, all the hard work is paying off ⭐️
Our new value this term is Perseverance. If you would like to send any pictures of an achievement or your child preservering in an activity, please do dojo me so they can be put on the school display🙂
Our homework this week is times tables and we have a spelling test Monday the 16th January
.
Next week, we will be practising how to use use charcoal in Art, learning about subheadings in English and passes in football for PE.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend,
Miss Roberts and Miss Salter

https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbbc/joinin/about-blue-peter-badges
There are eight badges you can earn…
Blue badge
Blue badges are awarded for sending in interesting letters, stories, pictures, poems, good ideas for the programme, and for having appeared on Blue Peter.
Once you’ve got a Blue badge you can apply for a Silver badge.
Green badge
Green badges are awarded for sending in letters, pictures and makes that are about the environment, conservation or nature.
Silver badge
Silver badges are awarded to Blue badge holders who go on to make an extra effort. For example, if you won a Blue badge for an interesting letter or email, you could win a Silver badge by sending us something different such as a make, picture or a poem.
Fan Club badge
Purple Fan Club badges are awarded for joining the Blue Peter fan club and answering some questions about the show and the website.
Music badge
The Music badge is a very special badge, designed by superstar Ed Sheeran. It’s awarded to those who show off their passion for music by learning a new instrument or being part of a musical performance.
Sport badge
The Sport badge is awarded for getting active and trying a sport or physical activity that you have never tried before. Each year a new limited edition badge is released that is only available during the summer. This means you can collect a new Sport badge every single year!
Applications for 2020 are open now and will close in late September 2020. Due to current circumstances, earning your Sport badge is a little different this year, so remember to read all the instructions.
Orange badge
Orange badges are given to winners and runners up of Blue Peter competitions. To have a chance of winning one of these badges you have to enter a Blue Peter competition, which only run during certain times in the year. For more information on competitions and whether a competition is open or not visit the competition page.
Gold badge
Gold badges are very rare indeed. Each year only a few are awarded in exceptional circumstances for outstanding achievements, for example being solely responsible for saving someone’s life, or showing amazing and unique bravery, courage and citizenship. (You must already have at least one of the other badges).
On very rare occasions, extraordinary adults can also be awarded a Gold Blue Peter badge. Recipients are high profile personalities who are considered to be role models, inspiring the nation’s children.

Cloud Spotting!
With the weather outside I thought this would be a great opportunity to spend some time looking up at the clouds above us!
What You’ll Need:
- A blue sky with clouds.
- An open, comfortable space to lie.
- A rug or equivalent to lie on if the ground is damp.
- Alternatively a seat by a window, where you can comfortably relax.
Instructions
- Choose a day when you will be relaxed lying on the ground looking up at the sky.
- Find a comfortable spot. In the garden or by a window.
- Look at the clouds in the sky.
Task 1: Verbal Literacy: Describe what you can you see? Can you see a unicorn? Can you see a fairy-tale castle? Can you see a whale or a dolphin? What do the clouds make you think of? Are there any patterns or shapes you can see? Use your imagination. You could also take a picture of what you see.
Task 2: Write a short story about the different things you can see amongst the clouds? Observe the clouds for a while and start to think about what adjectives best describe the clouds. What creative story could you write about to explain what is happening up there in the sky? I have attached an information e-book to help you learn about types of clouds. You could add some of these facts to your story and descriptions to show your new understanding of clouds.
Read about the different clouds in the cloud spotting guide here. Or here t2-g-2567180-clouds-ebook-english_ver_2
You can even get a bit crafty! Look at the picture below for some inspiration!
