Autumn Term 1 - Wednesday 8th September to Thursday 21st October

Introduction with Mrs Robinson

Hello everyone,

I am so pleased to be able to show you some of the wonderful learning experiences your children have had during this first half of the Autumn term.

We have put into action our new curriculum plan and we are implementing teaching strategies to help children learn more and remember more. It is wonderful to see them growing into confident independent learners.

Please see the website to view the curriculum and school offer. Bude Primary Academy - Juniors (budejuniors.org.uk) Link below

I hope you have a lovely half term holiday

Poppy Class

It has been a busy return to our learning in Poppy Class! We are currently learning many aspects related to the story of 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' including days of the week, sequencing, changes, colours and numbers.

Our recent sounds of the week have been d, t, i, n and p and we've also been using associated phonic pictures to create sensible, funny and silly short sentences.

We have continued with our weekly sensory exploration/creation including making a giant hungry caterpillar that will soon be up on display for us all to marvel at - but don't get too close as the caterpillar is very, VERY hungry!

Poppy Class Continued

We have had several birthday parties complete with bubbles, balloons, presents and Poppy Class made cakes (don't rell Mrs Robinson, or that caterpillar!)

We have also recognised the progress and achievements of our pupils with weekly certificate winners in a wide range of areas of learning including communication, positive socialising, co-operation, good manners, not giving up and helping others all of which are qualities that our pupils continue to show in abundance.

With many thanks to our pupils, the wonderful support we receive from their parents and to the incredible Poppy Class staff who make everything happen - with special mention to Gary who we all greatly miss!

Millook Class

We have had a wonderful half term here in Millook. Our topic is called ‘Predators’ and through literacy we have been learning all about big cats. We have studied an information text called ‘Terrifying Tigers’ and we are now writing our own information texts all about cheetahs.

In art, we have been using Henri Rousseaux’s artwork to inspire our own drawings. We have learnt all about tone and how to use our pencils to shade.

In science, we have been learning all about our skeletons and how important they are. We looked at the skeletons of other animals and even used microscopes to study animals with exoskeletons.
