Thank you!
 Thank you everyone
for making our first week back at Kendall such a success. It has been lovely to
see so many children in the morning in their lovely new uniforms and with smiling
faces coming into school ready to learn. Both Mr Barrett-Rodger and I have walked
around the school this week and we both commented on what a lovely atmosphere
there is in and around the school. It feels like we have never been away! |
Reading Book Return
 Currently Kendall have just over 500 school reading books
that we loaned out at prior to lockdown. This equates to over £2,500 worth of
books which we now need to be returned to school so that next academic year,
other children can enjoy reading them. You should have now received
correspondence to let you know which books your child has outstanding which
will need to be returned, along with instructions on how to return them if your
child is not currently in school and is unable to return them to their class
teacher on their transition day on Monday 20th July. Please look for
any Kendall books you may have at home so that they can be returned. A HUGE THANK
YOU TO ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE RETURNED YOUR BOOKS TO DATE. |
Dinner Menu
 We have an updated
school dinner menu with some exciting new additions such as pizza, sausage
rolls and the popular Friday fish
and chips. Please see the new menu at
the end of the newsletter. |
Bubbles C & D Had Lots of Fun Weighing!
 This week Bubbles C
and D have been learning about seasonal changes, the months that are in
each season and celebrations that are associated with different
seasons. We played a season game outside where the children had to
listen to a seasonal fact and then find the correct season. In literacy they
wrote a season fact file and in ICT made a PowerPoint slide about one of the
seasons. In maths we have had lots of fun weighing. We began by comparing
items to find out which was heavier or lighter, we then used cubes to estimate
and weigh a variety of classroom items. We then found items that weighed less
than or more than a Kilogram (using a bag of sugar to compare them to) and
finished the week weighing a few items in grams and reading the scales.
We have also continued with our virtual sports day activities in PE. |
Bubble A & B Fence Weaving
 This week, Bubbles A and B have continued our learning
based on 'The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch'. We have been outside and weaved
on our fence (his lunch was in a woven basket), investigated light sources and
shadows, made shadow puppets to retell
stories and have written our own versions of the story. In maths, we have
been consolidating our learning on addition and subtraction, adding children in
boats and subtracting sandwiches! We have learnt about telescopes and
made our own. |
Bubble H - Calculating Fractions, Decimals & Percentages with Love Hearts!
 Bubble H have been extremely busy revisiting
our learning on fractions. Our favourite lesson this week was calculating
the fraction, decimal and percentage colour distribution of Love Hearts.
We each had our own packet and we had to work out the fraction, decimal and
percentage equivalents of each colour. We also produced a bar graph
to show our results. We found that Violet was the most popular colour out
of 13 packets... 81/325! |
Bubble E Creating William Morris Wallpaper
 This
week Bubble E have been learning to
tell the time using o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. We then
went outside and worked as teams to tell the time in 5 minute intervals using
chalk to draw the clock and sticks for the hour and minute hands. We have also been finding out about the artist William Morris and
have written a biography detailing his life. In art we looked at some of his
most famous pieces and created our own wallpaper using elements of his designs
in our own work. |
Learning Outside the Classroom with Bubble G
 What an amazing week we have had in Bubble
G, where we have been lucky enough with the weather and our amazing
woodland, we have spent more time outside than in. We have been planning
and editing our stories based upon Humpty Dumpty and we are just about ready to
construct our own picture books based on a fear our character overcomes.
We have been problem solving using treasure hunts for addition and subtraction
including exchanging which has really helped us to remember how to tackle those
trickier mathematical problems. When we were working on our problems, we
found a freshly hatched egg that Matthew Magpie identified as a pigeon
egg! We also worked on our virtual sports day on the Rec and
enjoyed competing in teams to try to beat our best times. Long may this
wonderful weather continue to support our love of LOTC at Kendall! |
Welcome Back Bubbles C & D!
 Bubbles C and D were thrilled to welcome 20 Children back into Year One on Monday. This
week they have read and learnt the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. Both
bubbles acted out the story in small groups and there were some brilliant
performances! They then planned and re-wrote the story using sentence starters.
In maths we have been measuring items, we started by estimating then using
cubes and 100 bead strings and then moved onto measuring in centimetres and
meters using rulers. They have looked at Van Gogh sunflowers and made clay
sunflowers and in ICT they have started programming with bluebots. |
