This week we have begun to innovate our story of Fox. We have replaced the Magpie in the story with a rat and we are now scripting the adventures.....
During the International Day of Languages, Kingston Class had great fun learning about Iceland. The children were amazed by the geysers, glaciers and The Northern Lights and used a range of media to create pictures based on these. The children attempted to speak some Icelandic phrases and even watched a clip of Toy Story in Icelandic!
We have been exploring word problems in maths and have used the RUCSAC system to help us to work through and solve problems. Please ask your child to demonstrate how they use this system.
Each child in Kingston Class has a leaf with all of the reasons that their class friends really like them. We have created a tree in our classroom to remind of why we are all so unique and special.
Congratulations to Raymond who is currently leading our race into reading. Keep up the excellent daily reading Raymond!

Congratulations, this week's star is Alice for her effort and enthusiasm towards her learning.
Welcome back to a new year at Drapers Mills! Myself and Mr Davies are excited to get to know all of the new children in our class and to begin our learning journey together. This year we will be looking forward to lots of new learning experiences, fun and achievements. This year, PE will be on a Monday and a Wednesday so please can you ensure your child has a kit for these days. Homework will be set on a Monday and will consist of spellings, maths and English work to be completed by the following Monday. Home readers will be changed daily and the children will have the chance to earn prizes through the race into reading scheme. This term's main topic will be London so please feel free to explore this subject area with your child at home.
Looking forward to a great year with Kingston Class,
