What the teachers say about this week
Nursery – Stars
What a busy week we have had, beans, beans and more beans! This week we have planted beans, had a lovely time with our sensory play with compost, we have counted beans and have enjoyed Jasper’s Beanstalk and Jack and the Beanstalk. We have also planted bulbs in our outdoor environment. In Phonics we have continued with environmental sounds, playing guess my sound and making animal sounds.
Foundation Stage
We have shared the story ‘SUPERPIGS’. The children have enjoyed creating jet packs and building homes made with straw, sticks and bricks. They also discovered some amazing pig facts!
Hopefully they will all sleep tonight because we had our first PE session today too!
FS/Year 1
We have been investigating a crime scene for The Three Little Pigs and making a wanted poster for the wolf. We have also been making maps of Brayton and thinking about what we pass on the way to school.
Year 2
We have so much fun this week making our very own Marvellous Medicine like George. We then wrote all the weird and wonderful things our medicine would do to Grandma. In science we carried out our balloon experiment. In maths we have been dividing into groups of 2,3,5,10.
Year 3 / 4
We have been developing our writing skills, and use of adjectives and adverbs, by looking at how we could persuade people to come and stay in our hotels. We have looked at travel brochures to see what is on offer and the language that is used to persuade the customer.
In RE, we are going to be learning about a Hindu family and their beliefs.
Year 5
This week we have been using efficient methods to find equivalent fractions. Some challenge questions were just that! It has been payback time though, as we have been planning and writing Tudor court room scripts where both Mr Wheeler and Mrs Bennie are on trial. Writing using a variety of clauses, Mr W and Mrs B have been accused of committing a range of Tudor crimes, and punished accordingly. Each court room scenario will be performed next week.
Year 6
This week we have been working hard on understanding the vocabulary and language used in our class texts: Dangerous Waters and Kaspar, in Guided Reading. We have created persuasive and informative leaflets to entice customers to climb aboard Titanic on its maiden voyage. In maths, we have been focussing on converting Decimals, Fractions and Percentages. What a busy week it has been!

Parenting Tips
Does your child have trouble getting to sleep?
1.Try bathing in the mornings rather than at bedtimes - sometimes playing in the water can refresh and wake up a child rather than soothing and relaxing them.
2. After reading to or with your child, try leaving them to self sooth with a downloaded child's story or CD talking book. (Remember to go back and take the technology out once finished though!)
Worth a try!

Message from Mrs R
I have really enjoyed this week at school with three more Brayton firsts - our new Spelling Bees, our new Y6 Common Room and our newly revamped Friday Superstar Worship courtesy of Mr Wheeler.
Thanks as always to staff, children and parents for all your hard work and support. Have a wonderful weekend.
Mrs R
