Reading Eggs / Reading Eggspress!
Your child will have brought home a login for Reading Eggs (Key Stage 1) or Reading Eggspress (Key Stage 2). This online, interactive resource has been purchased by the school to deepen pupils’ reading skills and improve their comprehension in a fun and exciting way. It should be used in conjunction with reading books – Reading Eggs should be seen as additional reading to your child’s regular daily routine.
To login use these links:
or
Click the login button at the top of the page.
Once your child has logged in, you will notice that there are tasks for them to complete – the class teacher will set reading activities for the pupils. Usually these involve reading a passage and then answering questions about it. Please allow your child the time and space to complete these independently in order that the class teacher can make a reasonable assessment of your child’s work. The system sends a report to the teacher about the pupils’ answers, reading time and how many attempts they have made.
We will also be using Reading Eggs / Reading Eggspress in school for developing reading and comprehension skills.
Class teachers will signpost pupils and parents to the activities via the school website and homework books.
If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
Visit to Leaton Church
Today, Pimhill and Haughmond classes visited Leaton Church as part of their learning about the key questions ‘What is a Church?’ and ‘Why do Christians go to Church?’
We explored the inside and outside of the building and worked with Rev. Hannah, Rev. Mary-Lou, Pat and Val to find out the answers to our questions and complete to complete a church quiz.
Wattle and Daub
We have had a really fun and muddy morning today having a go at creating our own wattle and daub panels as part of our Design Technology learning about structures, as this was the building method common before the Great Fire of London. Some of us think that wattle and daub is a good method of building a strong structure, but others of us think that it is not a good building material. Annabelle told us that she thinks wood is risky because it might break when you are building.
Cricket Coaching – Year One and Wrekin Class
We have joined up with Sentinel Cricket Club, via the Shropshire Cricket Board, to offer Year One and Wrekin Class cricket coaching every Tuesday this half term. Pupils will develop their catching, batting, tactical and fitness skills in a fun and engaging way!
Cricket Coaching
Today the Year One children took part in the first of ten cricket lessons with cricket coach Mr Howard. They have got ten weeks of coaching to make them into potential Ashes winners of the future!
Great Fire of London Website
Today, we have begun to find out more about the Great Fire of London, and we have used the website below to help us. The website also includes a game that the children can play to find out more about the fire.
Arts Week Continued!
Our last piece of work for Arts Week was to make a cup out of clay and then decorate it. Our decorations are inspired by the Bizarre pattern created by Clarice Cliff.
Clarice Cliff
The second artist we have looked at in Arts Week is Clarice Cliff. We have looked at the way she used pattern and colour in her ceramics. We designed our own Clarice Cliff inspired plate and used acrylic paint to transfer our design onto a real plate.
Arts Week – Mondrian
This week is Arts Week and in Haughmond we are learning about the 1930’s. We have found out about the artist Piet Mondrian who produced some of his works in this decade and then created our own Mondrian inspired pieces of art. We thought about how just using the primary colours could be used to show different things and Max and Ciaran decided to just use blue and yellow so that their pieces represented Shrewsbury Town!
