Achievement Assembly at Manor Way

 

Congratulations to all the children across the Manor Way site who were recognised in today's Achievement Assembly for showing themselves at their very best this week.

Smile Squad's special event - Monday 4th October

On Monday 4th October the Smile Squad will be helping organise an awareness event for World Smile Day. The charity which the Smile Squad are promoting is called Smile Train; they help people in disadvantaged countries access surgery for cleft lips and palates.

There will be a special guest teacher in the Manor Way playground who will be doing their best grumpy face - your challenge is to do or say something funny to break the teacher's frown and get them to show a lovely smile instead.

Come along to the stall to have a go and win a small prize, plus you can find out more about the Smile Train charity. 

Year 6 Science Trip - Classification

A fun week in Reception (Pear Class)

This week we have been doing lots of learning. We have learnt about colours by naming them, mixing them and sorting them. The writing table was also popular this week, we have been developing our motor skills by following the lines to create patterns.

Colour mixing in Reception Cherry Class

This week our focus for math's has been colours.

We started off out week by recognising and sorting colours.

We then carried out a colour mixing investigation. We learnt that an investigation was to explore and look closely and find something new out.

The children were given a magic mixing bag with some shaving foam inside and they chose two colours to mix. We discussed what colour they thought would be their new colour, and mixed them to see if they were right. 

Here are some photos of the children mixing up their colours. 

Nursery (Acorn) - Rub a dub dub, three trucks in a tub!

In Acorn this week we enjoyed playing with a variety of vehicles, in particular the big trucks!

Some of them, however, became very grubby and needed a good wash before we used them again outside. Step forward our task force of cleaners, ready to save the day!

"We've got to get it all clean!"

"Quick, it's dirty!"

"The water is so dirty now!"

Year 5 French language learning games

This week in Year 5 we have been learning how to describe people's hair using a variety of new adjectives. We played a game on whiteboards using dice to practise the new vocabulary, then we played Quiz Quiz Trade using cards that included the new vocabulary to describe different teachers' hair. In Quiz Quiz Trade We had to form our own sentences using the  following sentence starters:

Mon professor a .....

Ma professeur a ......
