Chalkhill Class

On Friday we chose lots of lovely gifts for our friends and families at the Secret Shop. Thank you to all the kind elves who helped us – it was magical! ✨

Thank you to everyone who was able to stay and do maths with us this week. We loved sharing our learning with you! 🙂

We had some surprises in our art lesson this week as we explored mixing paint! Check out our colour wheels below – ask us how we made orange, purple and green 🧡💜💚

We have been learning about the primary colours by creating art in the style of the artist Mondrian – see if we can tell you about the colours, lines and shapes we noticed in his work.

Can you spot the real Mondrian in our gallery?

We followed the instructions in one of our guided reading texts this week to make paper aeroplanes. They were brilliant!

A very big welcome to Year 1, everyone! 🙂

We’ve been busy settling in and it has been wonderful to see the courage of each and every child for joining in our new routines such as lunch in the hall, strand assemblies and (the very popular!) singing practice.

Here are some pictures of a lovely art session at the end of the week where we created some self-portraits – studying our reflection in the mirror, drawing our features and adding the details that make us unique and special! ❤️✨

Chalkhill class were so excited to be Year Ones for the morning! We had a fabulous time in our new classroom 🙂

Team Chalkhill you were superstars today! You all tried your very best and cheered each other on as always – we were very proud indeed. Thank you parents and carers for coming along to support us!

Our maths focus this week is halving and sharing into equal groups. Here are some top tips from Chalkhill:

‘Just make it the same on both sides’

‘They both have the same, it’s fair’

‘One goes here, one goes here…’

Just a reminder that if your child has been booked onto a Sustrans cycling session on Monday to bring their own bike and helmet.

Sustrans have lots of tips for encouraging your child to gain confidence with riding a bike – if you’d like to know more have a look at the video below:
