My favourite time of the week is doing this weekly blog, as I can look back and admire all your wonderful achievements and successes and celebrate with you. You should all be very proud of yourselves for working hard and persevering with tasks, even if they have been challenging.

We have had a great number of certificates to give out over the week for children learning their times tables. Well done to Rokas, April, Daisy, Sonny, Darcey, Lily, Leon, Layla and Emma.

I will be showing you how you can do your times tables online, so hopefully we can hand out even more certificates over the next weeks.

An increasing number of pupils achieved a certificate for completing all activities on Education City. Congratulations to Darcey, Oscar, Rokas, Eden and Brody.

In Music, April was chosen to be Musician of the week. She did a great job at ‘feeling the music’ as she played her instrument. She also chose to do some Music related homework in making a shaker instrument.

Layla also did some homework this week in writing a recount.

We loved our Science lesson this week on Sound. We were given the opportunity to make a string telephone with a partner. It was great fun testing them out testing them out, and explaining how sound travels through the string.

What a super week Sheringham! Keep up the great work,

I love our Friday celebratory blogs. Each week, I am amazed that so many have achieved so much. I am a super proud teacher!

On Monday, we raised lots of money for Children in Need. Well done to all those that wore dots and/or yellow to school.

A shout-out too has to be given to Oscar who made a special tee-shirt for the day, but was not able to come into school. Thank you for the photo!

Also on Monday, we presented certificates to those pupils who had a go at all activities on Education City. An excellent start! You have until Sunday to complete this week’s Education City work.

In our Music lesson, Missy was chosen to be Musician of the Week.

We had a further chance to play with and make instruments this week in Science, as we continued our work on sound, and in particular pitch.

Over the week, it has been great to give certificates to celebrate children’s efforts with learning their times tables. Congratulations to Emma, Missy, Milena and Rokas. Meanwhile, Oscar has been working hard at home with learning them.

Homework has started coming in. We have had a few great models of Stonehenge.

Others have chosen to do homework linked to our Science work.

Hello all,

Another great week has been had by all in Sheringham. You amaze me constantly by working so incredibly hard at school and then at home also. There are so many names to give a special mention to; I hope I don’t forget anyone!

Well done to Lily who was chosen to be musician of the week.

We gave out so many certificates this week for times tables. Congratulations to Rokas, Dominique, Ivy, Lewis, Summer, Emma, Charlie, Harry and Oscar.

I loved this picture that was sent to me of Oscar working hard at home on his times tables, complete with timer! This is dedication!

On Wednesday, we did Remembrance Day at school. We talked about it, had a 2 minute silence and then completed some poppy pictures.

Well done to those children who have started to do their topic homework. The postcard seems to be a popular choice. We had Eden, Dominique, Layla and Emma all doing this.

Layla has been on a roll this week with homework! Not only did she complete a postcard, she has also made instruments and managed to get them to produce sound! The class loved watch her having a go at a homemade harmonica.

This week was our first for Education City at home. We have certificates to give out next Monday, so there is still time to complete the work if you haven’t done so already. A special well done to the following Sheringham children for having a go:

To all Sheringham Stars, have a wonderful weekend. The next blog post will be on Monday morning.

Sheringham shout-outs Friday 6th

What a great first week back! As your teacher, there are so many achievements you should be proud of.  It is so wonderful watching you love your learning and making great progress. This is going to be an amazing half-term!

We have given out a number of certificates this week for children who have completed times table challenges. Many congratulations to Oscar, Brody, Victor, Milena, Leon, Emma, Dominique, Layla, Eden and Taylor.

We made wonderful music on Monday when we played glockenspiels and xylophones. Look how hard we are concentrating:

Many congratulations to Rokas who was chosen to be musician of the week.

We actually had quite a noisy week in our Bubble, as we got instruments out again in Science to experiment how sound was being made.

In our Design and Technology lesson, we have started to look at structures. We worked with a partner and in small groups to make free standing structures. It was a bit of a challenge, but a lot of fun!

Who knew learning could be such fun! I’m already excited for next week!

On Monday, I will be letting you know what we are going to be doing in school, so don’t forget to have a look.

Have a great weekend,

Mrs Moyle
