In school we follow the 100 book challenge which offers lots of exciting books for your children to read.
Here are the titles of the books which make up the challenge. It would be fantastic if all children continue with their daily reading by reading some of these books at home.

What a wonderful but busy World Book Day. Today we have enjoyed painting potatoes to look like our favourite book characters, had a couple of DEAR (Drop everything and read) moments, we got treated to Starlings coming in and reading to us and telling us about their books. We then took part in a World Book Day catwalk including the whole school and after all that some parents/ grandparents came in to read with their children and make some book marks! Thank you to all who attended the children really loved it, as shown in the pictures 🙂

Today we have looked at washing our hands properly using the steps given on Newsround. We have learned the correct way to wash our palms, in between our fingers and even our thumbs. All this is done to the ‘happy birthday’ song which lasts 20 seconds (the period of time we should be washing our hands for).

This afternoon, we have explored some more facts about the moon. We watched the first moon landing and discovered that despite it happening over 50 years ago, the footprints are still there! So we created the first steps on the moon in salt dough ready for baking and displaying.

This week we have been looking at length and height. We’ve discussed what we can measure in and have mainly been measuring using centimetres. The children helped Miss Woodward measure things around the classroom, we even tried our hand at a bit of estimation!

This week is Kindness week and as part of this we have been doing a random act of kindness on each days. Yesterday we made a friendship web to demonstrate how if the we are not kind to our friends, the bonds of friendship could be weakened. The web turned out to be strong enough to hold an item as well.

This afternoon we looked at the moon phases that happen in the sky. We talked about how moon phases occur and even began to understand waxing and waning. In order to help us with our learning we brought out oreos to mould into the moon phases helping us remember them.

We had a wonderful time on our trip to the Hindu temple. We learnt lots of facts about their religion and what takes place in a temple. It was so informative! We then looked around the temple and learnt all about the stories they had to tell. The behaviour of the children was excellent and they asked some brilliant questions too. Well done Robins!

Our class looked at beats yesterday, observing how long a crochet is and how long a quavers is (not the crisps!). Miss Woodward clapped a pattern and the children repeated it, Robins class were so good they then had a go at making their own, some of them even writing their pattern down to help remember it.

This term in art we are looking at hot and cold colours and observing how to create different tones using mixing. Yesterday the children were given a space picture to recreate using both hot and cold colours. We also looked at how to thicken paint and create different textures using PVA glue and sand. I think we have some budding artist within the class.

In English we have been looking at recounts, in order to help us remember the brilliant sentences that we have come up with we created some actions to go with the story. We were so proud of this that we decided to perform our recount to Owls and Puffins class, in return we were treated a fabulous performance from them.

Yesterday afternoon we looked at the History of Mexico as part of our topic. We ordered the events into a timeline and came up with some actions to help us to remember the order!
