Puffins - Certificates and Key Learning

Date: 5th Dec 2020 @ 12:44am

This is a double blog this week! Our star of the week was this amazing little girl! She blew me away with her expression and acting ability in our Reverse Advent video. Not only that, she blows us all away with everything she does! She is a great listener, learner and friend and an absolute pleasure to teach! This little star also happened to be our house point winner this week too! 
 

At The Gates, one of the highest accolades you can receive is the Always Child... and we now have one in Puffins! This little girl is ALWAYS doing the right thing, in the right place, at the right time. She is an excellent role model to others and we are so lucky to have her in Puffins. She also happened to be our Reading Challenge Winner last week too! ⭐️
 

Our Reading Challenge winner this week has read 5 times every week and uploaded his diary to Seesaw. Well done Mr! 
 

Our Physical Activity winners are Lucy, John, Beatryx and Nathaniel! This was awarded for Daily Mile and Speed Bounce. 
 

What a week! We have started practising our Christmas Play this week, thank you to all of those who have been learning their lines at home, please keep practising! We have been learning the Christmas Play songs too, we can't wait for you to listen! In History we became architects and redesigned the houses/streets of London to make them safer than those burned down in 1666. In Computing we learnt how to save our work in a folder and find it again to upload somewhere else. In PE we practised our throwing and catching skills and also learnt how to do a forward roll, be sure to take a look at the videos on Seesaw. In PSHE we have been learning all about crossing the road safely, we became 'Super Kittens' and re-enacted crossing the road safely in our outdoor area. In RE we looked at different types of Christian prayer and used our parable, the Lost Son, to identify moment he may have chosen to pray. Finally, in DT we used our design brief to design the houses that we will be making before half term. We also made Christmas decorations for our class tree and a cheeky elf appeared, then to top it all off, we it began to snow! Can't wait to see what next week brings!

Happy Weekend!
