I’m sorry for not updating you with the children’s wonderful work last week! We were busy preparing a class assembly which was absolutely fantastic! Maple class have one extremely proud teacher! This week we have started to look at key features of Diaries and are working towards writing our own diary as if we are Lila. In Maths we are having fun with Statistics before moving onto Length and Measure.
Our word of the week is ‘Enormous’
Have your children seen the news about the recent Volcanic eruption?
Have a great week :@)
Willow class have had another lovely week. We have been learning about ‘Jaspers Beanstalk’ and planting our own seeds. The children are growing their own sunflowers and were very excited to take home the cress they have been growing. The children managed to complete their class tokens chart again this week which meant they got to enjoy another well deserved class treat. Due to rainy weather a visit to the park wasn’t possible but they did enjoy an ice cream and film back in the classroom. Next Wednesday, weather providing, we will be going on a ‘welly walk’. If you would like to join us please let us know your support is most appreciated. Finally our word of the week is ‘Nervous’.
Welcome back after a fabulous 2 week break! Shame the weather wasn’t great in Nottingham but at least we have nice weather now to enjoy! This week has been our first week on our Volcanoes topic. We launched our topic by mixing liquids and salt together to make a volcanic eruption in preparation for when we have formed our Modroc volcanoes. We have made some lovely firework pictures which we are looking forward to showing you during our class assembly next month. We have started to think about the text ‘The Firework Makers Daughter’ and predict what we think will happen. We will start reading our text next week. We will also be looking at how volcanoes are formed and where in the world we can find volcanoes.
Our word of week for next week is ‘Eruption’
On Monday 5th February, we held our official opening ceremony of the Lambley Primary School MUGA.
A MUGA is a Multi Use Games Area and ours is amazing! It even has floodlights so can be used all through the year for a range of sports.
We welcomed Councillor John Cottee and members of the local community who worked on our recent MUGA development project. We gathered together outside for a special opening ceremony to share the tale of how our MUGA came to be. Councillor John Cottee cut the red ribbon with Dawn Edwards who had helped to coordinate the project. Tony Bramley, a member of the local community who had worked on both the initial and final bid, was delighted to see the MUGA open and in action. We are also joined by one of our previous school governors, Katja Watmore, who contributed to the beginning stages of the project with Mick Conroy and Marsha Brook (previous Parent Governor) when the dream was first being born.
We were successful in our application to the Nottinghamshire County Council Supporting Local Communities (SLC) Fund, receiving £33,450 for the project. This project was made possible because of the matched funding given by the local Parish Council and contributions from the Parents & Friends of Lambley Primary School and Lambley Primary School Sports funding grant.
It won’t be long before the MUGA is available for community use outside school hours both during the evenings and at weekends. Details will follow in the near future.
On Monday 11th December Lambley Primary school went on a school outing to The Palace Theatre in Mansfield to watch Jack and the beanstalk. We had a fabulous time. The pantomime was very funny.
Codey enjoyed the 3D part because when the actors were singing the Ghost part they did not notice the Ghosts were flying around.
Lottie “My favourite part was when Simon was singing the songs about big bottoms”
Cody “I liked the hand and the spider in 3D and when the tongue came out!”
Ben “My favourite part was the 3D except my ears hurt with all the screaming”
We also had treats at the interval! We are very lucky and Maple class would like to thank all of the Parents who organised, planned and made this happen through fund raising.
