Hello,
What a fantastic week we have had!
We started out with the story 'The Train Ride'. We read this together, acted it out and thought about the repeated phrases and rhyming words. We all had a go at rewriting the story, and all of our work was brilliant!
In art this week we have spent some time learning about the artist Claude Monet. He was a french impressionist artist. We look carefully at his painting 'The Water Lily Pond' and created our own water lilies with collage and careful tearing, folding and cutting skills. The results were amazing, we just had to put them all up on display and make our own water lily pond which is beautiful.
In Maths we have been using some of the skills we have learnt to try and solve some maths problems. We looked at different combinations, ordering money values, identified shapes as well as odd and even numbers.
On Friday we were wearing our own sports clothes to school for the fun run which is coming up on Saturday the 19th May. We hope to see lots of you there - it's always such an exciting event.
We also got Paddington in our celebration assembly today for best attendance! Well done Oak!
This weeks star award has gone to George Burgess for making good choices and trying his ebst with his learning, Well done George!
Plop our learning owl will be flying home with McKenzie for persevering with her learning and being pleased for her friends. Well done McKenzie!
We hope you all have a lovely weekend,
Love Oak Class

Redbourn Primary School and our school trip!
Hello,
What a lovely week back!
We started our week with the Upper school in an assembly with our new headteacher Mrs Hinchliffe. We all managed to fit in the Upper school hall and learnt that Mrs Hinchliffe has two daughters, a dog and two chickens!
On Wednesday we went on our school trip to Buckinghamshire Railway Centre for our new topic this term which is 'All Aboard!'. It was a beautifully sunny day and we travelled on a double-decker bus. When we got there we boarded an amazing steam train. We sat on bouncy seats and went forwards and backwards. We also went around the museum and looked at old trains and got to look inside. After lunch we went on a miniature train around a track and through a tunnel, it was fantastic!
The next day we all did some fantastic writing about our trip. We thought about what we did first, and put the events in order, adding detail. We compared our writing to some writing we had done earlier and the year and we could all see how much progress we had made.
Today we have thought about different number combinations in Maths. We had to choose 3 numbers that added up to 12. We had to find 10 different ways. We also looked at different colour combinations.
We had a special snack that was made for us by PIPS group - jams sandwiches! We all enjoyed them. After lunch today we went out onto the field for the 'opening ceremony' for Redbourn Primary School. We heard from an MP, there was a town crier (who we thought looked like a pirate!) and Mrs Hinchliffe our new headteacher. A tree was planted in between both schools.
This week the star award has gone to Lulu for being so sensible on the school trip and making good choices. Well done Lulu!
The learning owl Plop is going home with Margarita who always has a fantastic attitude to her learning and is always a good role model. Well done Margarita!
We hope you have a lovely weekend.
Love Oak Class
Reminders:
Please bring in your PE kits - we will continue to have PE indoor and outdoor on Mondays and Fridays.
Next week is 'Big Pedal' week - if you can, try walking, scooting or cycling to school.
