Today the whole School celebrated World Sports Day! We made cards and a banner to wish the Olympic athletes luck in the London 2012 games.


Our School is representing China in the Cluster Schools Primary Olympic festival this week, so we also learned all about China! We learned about their Olympic achievements, and also about their country and culture.


We enjoyed making Panda bears!

Thank you to all parents who came to our assembly!

We were excited to show you all our learning and loved performing songs for you all!

The children haven't stopped singing since!
I was so impressed with their confidence, clear voices, and beautiful singing. There wasn't a dry eye in the room!!!! (Us included)
Well done children!!!!!

Can I also remind you that next week is Miss Casey's last week in our class. She has taught the children so really great lessons and we've really enjoyed her being a part of St Clares!

The children are really enjoying their Royal family topic this week. They enjoyed writing letters to congratulate the Queen on her Jubilee, and making Royal family trees. Today they made boats just like the Queen saw at her Jubilee Boat Pageant! The children designed and made boats, testing to see if they would float or sink!


Please remember our class assembly is this Thursday at 9:15am sharp!

Our RE topic is all about Friends. We made a Friendship board, and chose photos from the year that show all the great friends we have made, and the special times we have shared! We all enjoyed talking about our friends, and thinking about what a good friend should be. 



Hi all!


This week we have all celebrated Adopt a Monarch week. Our class Monarch was Alfred the Great! The children have really enjoyed learning facts about Alfred, baking cakes, and today made beautiful stained glass windows of Alfred, just like the one in Winchester Cathedral.
We also made time lines of Alfred's life.


I thought I would share photos of the displays of our learning, and our castle role play area, which is currently home to pictures and facts about Alfred, as well as costumes and food!


Next week we look forward to learning all about the Royal family!

Can I please remind all parents to return water bottles and PE kits to school, as we had many missing today!
Please also check your child has bought home the correct kit as some seem to have been put back in the wrong bags!
Many Thanks
Miss Smith

Today we enjoyed learning more about our class Monarch, Alfred the Great. A story tells that Alfred, tired after a battle, found a peasant lady living alone in a small house. He asked to rest a while by her fire. She kindly agreed, asking him to watch some cakes she was baking while she popped out. When she returned King Alfred was fast asleep and the cakes were burned.
Today we baked cakes and discussed the burning process. They were yummy!

Please remember our class assembly next Thursday 21st June, at 9:15 am.
Over half term we received an exciting package.... inside were signed photos, and a note from Olympian Tom Daley!
He signed photos for the children who had personalised their letters to him!
I was so pleased that both Tom and Rebecca replied to us! Considering how busy they must be, it's great to know they appreciate their supporters!
