Autumn Week 12

This week in DT Butterfly Class began designing their night lights. We had to think really hard about what we were going to make them out of and how our circuits were going to fit inside of them. In English, we have been looking at writing descriptions for different settings. Our creativity was flowing and we managed to write some incredible descriptions. We have kicked off the festive season a little early by beginning to practice our songs for the Christmas Concert. Already, we are sounding better and better each day.

Congratulations to Arnie for getting the Headteachers Award this week!

Autumn Week 11

This week in Butterfly class we have worked hard and gotten lots done. In science we looked at the water cycle, in maths we continued to work little and often on our times-tables and in English we mastered writing a set of instructions on how to capture a wild mythical two-headed beast. We rounded off the week with some talking maths. We get to walk around the classroom discussing our thought process whilst answering the questions in our book. It's our favourite way to keep us moving and keep us learning.

Autumn Week 10

This week in Butterfly class we began gymnastics in PE. We tried a range of partner balances with a variety of difficulty. We had a good laugh whilst trying to master them. In English we have began to look at instructions, more specifically, how to catch a mythical beast. If you see any of us with a giant net don't be alarmed this is to help us better understand how to catch them.

Autumn Week 9

After our well deserved short break, Butterfly Class sprang straight back into action, busy working hard and learning new things. We got the glockenspiels out and music and had a great time. In DT we dismantled flashlights to get our heads around how they worked

Congratulations to Harry for getting the Headteachers Award this week!

Autumn Week 8

It is safe to stay after a long 8 weeks we have finally made it to the end of the first half term. Butterfly Class have had an amazing start to the year and put 100% into everything they have done. Have a lovely half term!

Autumn Week 7

It has been another busy week here in Butterfly Class. We have worked hard on a variety of subjects. Some highlights of the week are:

• Carrying out our own science investigations that we planned last week.
• Blowing off some steam whilst continuing to improve our tag rugby skills with Kate, in PE.
• Reenacting a story about the Crucifixion to help us understand what it is truly about for Christians.

We rounded off the week with a timestables afternoon to ensure our recall of them is top notch. Overall a busy week where we have all worked extremely hard.

Congratulations to Izzy for getting the Headteachers Award this week!

Autumn Week 6

This week, Butterfly Class had a special guest. Declan Brooks, Team GB Bronze Olympic medalist in BMX came and gave Roseacres a visit. After wowing the whole school with an array of tricks he came into our class to show us his medal and answer some questions. It was a very cool experience that we all loved!

Congratulations to James and Sophia for getting the Headteachers Award this week!

Autumn Week 5

This Friday, Butterfly Class were fortunate enough to go and experience the Benedetti Session at Saffron Hall. We had a great morning, getting to partake in many musical games that had us thinking about rhythm and call & answer. We were introduced to the cajon drum and vibraphone and got to hear them in action. It was an amazing experience that we all enjoyed very much. 

In science, we continued to look at electricity, trying to make a variety of switches to go in our circuits. We had a lot of success and enjoyed investigating the different ways to make switches.

Autumn Week 4

In topic this term, Butterfly Class is looking at the Anglo Saxons and Vikings. In history, we were fortunate enough to use some artifacts from them time to extend our thinking and questioning skills. We spent the lesson looking at them and thinking about what they might have been used for and what we thought they might have been called.

In English we honed in on our feelings and tried our best to channel our inner actor to recreate scenes from the short film we have been focusing on called 'The Present'. There were some very convincing dogs in our class.

Congratulations to Eloise for getting the Headteachers Award this week!

Autumn Week 3

This week Butterfly class continued to show their creativity in art, building on their compass skills to create the beginnings of a whole class art piece. In P.E we practiced both our attacking and defending skills in Tag Rugby, playing a whole host of different games to put the skills into action.

Congratulations to Olivia for getting the Headteachers Award this week!  

Autumn Week 2

This week Butterfly class has been busy working hard, putting maximum effort into everything they do.

We had our first PE lesson with the Cricket Coach and we all had lots of fun practicing our batting skills. We finished the week with some art, honing in on our compass skills to create perfect circles.

Congratulations to Emine for getting the Headteachers Award this week!

Autumn Week 1

Welcome back and welcome to butterfly class!

This week we have been getting back into the swing of things and working hard.

In science this half term our topic is electricity and on Friday we were sorting objects into 'need to be plugged in' and 'needs batteries'. This gave the opportunity for some interesting conversations to be had about some items.

Congratulations to Jaxon for getting the Headteachers Award this week!
