Do Something Different Week!!

The last week of half term has got us "doing something different" in our classes. Numerous activities going on around the school including pumpkin carving, sewing rainforst animals and for some reason Mrs Johnston was building a river in her class. I'm not quite sure why Mrs J was doing this but you know what she's like!! Needless to say a lot of fun was had and I think the children enjoyed it as well

 Headlines from Mr Knight

The final week of a half term  -where has the time gone! All of the classes have been “doing something different” this week and from what I can see from around school they have been having great fun and learning lots. From film-making in Mr Lloyd’s room (my cameo part being the highlight) to X Factor in Miss Bernard’s room – a fantastic range of “different” learning activities. The children are all smiling and the staff are noticeably more relaxed which shows how much fun has been enjoyed. I love these special weeks – they are highlights of the year and an essential part of our creative approach to school. Well done everyone for working so hard all week and throughout the term!

So let's find out what has been happening this week at Darlinghurst Primary and Nursery School?

Reception - In the Reception Classes we have really enjoyed this week using the story of  We're Going on a Bear Hunt to think of activities. We have ourselves hunted for the bear,  made a comfortable home for the bear, we have iced biscuits thinking of the themes of the story, made dark caves to experience what it felt like for the bear and we have shared a picnic with our bears to make them feel happy. We have thought carefully about the repeated sentences in the story and enjoyed wearing bear masks.  Harrison said  "I liked the torches in the cave" and Beau liked going on the bear hunt outside.

1C - Mrs Collinson - Hi Again!

1B - Mrs Barrington - A change is as good as a rest.  Or so they say.  Well there has been very little rest in class 1B it's all been GO, GO, GO!  Our trip to Waitrose was successful and the staff there really treated us well by laying out a selection of fruit for us to try plus free goody bags.  Then the following day we took a stroll to Westcliff library.  The children now know that there are lots of other facilities available at a library.  On both trips the children were  very well behaved and a credit to our school.  Well Done!  Then on Thursday we would have made Jaime Oliver proud by making our own pumpkin soup with lots of healthy vegetables put to good use.  This linked in well with our story Pumpkin Soup by Helen Cooper.  To end the week on a high the children did their own dressing up catwalk show.  Now it's time for a rest and a super safe half term break.  Toys will be our topic for next term.

2P - Miss Peacher - Class 2P has been transformed into Darlinghurst Space Exploration Station this week and we have been exploring our solar system. We launched our space station on Monday following instruction from NASA. Then on Tuesday we made a moon landing and went on a space walk. On Wednesday we came under attack from aliens (thanks 5J!) which we spotted on our moon monitor (thanks Mr Bird!). We had to catalogue all of the aliens that we saw so we made them from clay. To finish off our project we visited the Southend Planetarium. After a week like that we all need a holiday!

2G - Mrs Grant - This week we have been learning about "Under the Sea." We have all given a speech to the class and they can be listened to as Podcasts. I talked about crabs. We have written poems about sea creatures, done some descriptions of sea creatures, painted silhouettes and even sewed some. We have also played with water. Some of us got to use a paddling pool outside but I had to do it inside because it was raining, again. We have also made our own creatures to put up as decorarions for the classroom. We have had a great time. Cameron O

3B - Miss Bernard - Hello everybody!

 

It's blog time again!

 

We have had a fantastic week in our Music Academy, the children have been really excited and very high all week. We have enjoyed it so much that we are going to continue for another week after half term. So far we have experimented with the percussion instruments, made pictograms, tally and bar charts for our favourite songs and types of music. We have explored some music programmes in the ICT suite and have continued to experiment with them in class. We have designed and made our own instruments which we hope to use in our class band. We are still writing and looking forward to producing our class rap. we will make a podcast for the school website when we are finished.

We still need to do our compositions and we are looking forward to doing our own Class 3B "X Factor" and practise learning our song with a message.

 

Here are some of the things that the children have enjoyed in particular:

 

 "Creating our musical instruments because I like being creative"- Martine

"I liked listening to different types of music for our tally charts because it was really good."-Fayeem

"The instruments because I liked making my shaker and watching everyone play"- Aliyah

"I liked doing our class rap, because it makes us learn how to sing music"- Jameel

"I liked it when we did our music book covers"- Jesi

"I liked making the instruments because it is good for me and I like the shaker"-Yaa

"I liked watching Fantasia because it was funny. The King was stupid"- Olivia S

"I liked making musical instruments because I like making things"- Nathan

"The ICT suite, doing Musical Mysteries because it makes me learn better"- Liam

"Fantasia, the King was funny"- Kinga

 

As you can tell, we have had a great week. Have a fantastic half term children! - Miss Bernard

 

3/4L - Mr LLoyd - WOW what a week in 3/4L!!......This week has been 'World War 2 movie week'.....We have looked  at all the stages of movie-making, pre-production, production and post production. We wrote our own stories, scripts and storyboards, then we casted for the film and Mr Knight made a cameo appearance for the filming! We can't wait to see what the film looks like! Have a great half term everyone!

 

3/4B - Miss Bolton - 'Do Something Different Week'. We love weeks like this, it inspires teachers and pupils alike. For some reason I had the film E.T on my desk and that gave me the idea to base all our work this week on this classic family film. The class watched enthralled and we had great fun designing our own aliens, movie posters and discussing what we would do if we'd found an alien in our back gardens!

Sadly we're finishing our WW2 topic and moving on to an environment topic after half term.

Teachers are already discussin Christmas plays and parties, so the term will fly past as always.

Have a good half term, see you all on Tuesday 3rd November (Monday is a non-pupil day).

 

5J - Mrs Johnston - This week was a really fun week because it was do something different week, we made a river and made our stuffed animals, some people made gorillas, monkeys, snakes and tarsiers.

 

5AD - Mr Duff + Mrs Amran - At the start of the week we did our writing assessment and everyone was glad when it was over. Once we finished our assessment we did a lot of halloween games, which were fun. I got wrapped up as a mummy and all the mummies had to rip out of the tissue paper as quick as they could. Everyone enjoyed this week. By Zakib

 

6H - Mr Hautler - On Thursday 20th October, Darlinghurst took part part in a football match. There were 11 players in our side and we we won 5-3. This week was also 'do what you want week' and we have been building castles out of junk. On friday it was non school uniform and it was lovley to see everybodys cool outfits. On Monday,  we blew up 250 balloons of all different shapes and sizes, just because we could. Oscar and George

 

6M - Mr Martin - Wow! How the weeks have flown. In eight weeks we've covered so much. This week we have completed our 3-D models of castles and learnt about their defence systems and general maintenance. We've come to the end of our fascinating study of microbes and now we have a far greater idea of which microbes are useful to us and which ones are harmful. In PE we had all the rumble and tumble and full-on excitement of dodge ball which we love very much and the Chicken Monsters team won the inter-class competition. We are all absolutely exhausted and looking forward to our half term rest! By Ethan and Adele

Fantasy Football 2009/2010

That's it, no more entries allowed. We have had a record number of people join, 50% more than last year!! There was a mad rush at the end of today just in time for the league to start tomorrow (Saturday 17th October).

All teams need to be registered before 12:45pm (Saturday) and all I will say is good luck to all involved. Lastly, Mr Lloyd thinks he already has it in the bag but I can see a lot of his team is made up from West Ham players

 Headlines from Mr Knight

I have enjoyed a very interesting week in Lithuania. The weather has been very cold and wintery - there was snow on Tuesday and again today (Friday) and the temperatures have been below zero for most of the day. Over the last four days I have visited two schools in different parts of Vilius and I have seen some interesting things, some things that have made me think and some things that have made me feel very sad. The children in the schools I have visited have almost all been able to speak at least three languages - Lithuanian, Polish and English for example - and have worked in some pretty grim conditions at times. In both schools the children were very cheerful, friendly and keen to speak english whenever they could.

So what has been happening this week at Darlinghurst Primary and Nursery School?

Nursery BLOG

Reception - Another good week in Reception. We had a visit from PC Jan, a police lady who talked about her job, showed us lots of pictures about being a police officer and allowed us to put on police coats and hats. We really did have fun. It was good to learn about the job of being a police officer.

 

The Reception Team.

1C - Mrs Collison - Hello everybody,

 

The children have been working very hard this week.  We have decided that we are going to become friends with a school in Dubai, so we have been busy introducing ourselves to them and telling them what we like to do.

Here's what some of the children have enjoyed this week:

 

Ellie said 'I enjoyed making a diva candle holder to celebrate Divali on Saturday.'

Kai said 'I liked PE.  We used the apparatus.'

Tyler said 'I liked it when we had to use charcoal to make a black and white picture of me as a baby.'

 

Have a nice weekend

Mrs Collison & Miss Slade

 

2G - Mrs Grant - This week we have been learning about the story of Rama and Sita and why Hindu's light divas to celebrate Diwali: it is on Saturday. We have made Diwali lanterns and cookies, they were very nice; my mum said that we could make some at home. We have also sung a Diwali song to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. Mrs Grant has put it on the website as a podcast. In Science we had a "Who wants to be a Millionaire?" quiz on Light and Dark. It was really great when we got the questions right because we all cheered.  Taylor

 

2P - Mrs Peacher - This week class 2P have had lots of fun learning about Divali. In maths we solved word problems about Divali sweets. In ICT we researched Divali. In English we followed instructions to make Divali lantersn and then wrote our own instructions. In art & DT we made Divali lanterns and also lots of other beautiful stuff for a display. We had lots of fun learning about Divali!

 

3B - Miss Bernard - Hi there everybody!

 

Yet another week has gone by, I can not believe how fast this half term is going. We are really looking forward to our Music Academy in the "Do Something Different Week". We have got lots of ideas for it. If you can think of anything else that you would like us to do, children, let me know please?

This week we have been writing our gladiator stories, which the children have really enjoyed planning and creating their stories. I have enjoyed what they have written so far, I can't wait to read the endings. I hope that they are going to be exciting.

We have also been doing data handling using block graphs, tally charts,frequency charts and pictograms in Maths. You have got steadily better as the week as gone on children, especially with finding information using your charts.

 

Here are some of the things that the children had to say about their activities last week:

 

" I liked writing my gladiator story because it was fun"- Aaliyah

" Writing my story because you can actually imagine yourself in the story"- Olivia K

"Writing my gladiator story because it feels like I'm actually in the arena"- Lilly

"My story writing because it feels like I am in the story"- Jameel

"I like our role plays because they are like our stories"- Santi

"Our stories because I like writing stories"- Tayyaba

"The stories because I enjoyed it"- Anita

"The stories because they are fun and imaginative"- Ollie

 

"I like the project with the balloons"- Olivia S

 

"I liked Maths because it is fun"- Yaa

 

"PE because we got to do turing around and we showed the other children"- Paul

 

"Data handling in the ICT Suite because I like learning about it"- Ai'sha

 

Thanks for your comments children. I am so glad that you have enjoyed your writing.

 

Have a lovely weekend, Miss Bernard

 

3/4B - Miss Bolton - The children of 3/4B have been busy bees this week, trying to finish as much work as possible to tie up this half term. We will be very sad to say goodbye to our WW2 topic but there's more good ones to come, don't worry.

We are loving our new ICT suite at the moment and managed to get an extra session in there yesterday.

Next week is one of our themed weeks - 'Do something different' week!! All I'll say at the moment is that all our work, learning and fun will centre round a classic family film - which I was amazed to realise is actually 27yrs old now! Can anyone try and guess which film it is???

 

3/4L - Mr Lloyd - This week we have been looking at maths problems and 7 x tables which we are really enjoying! We were also creating our own games using instructional writing to help us, we made some brilliant games which we are hoping to play at some point, can't wait for next week when we start on our WW2 movie! Have a great weekend!  - 3/4L

 

5J - Mrs Johnston - This week we've been practising our french spellings and we also wrote letters in french to a school in France.

In ITC we've been typing up our own profiles, which was good fun.

This weeks blog has been written by Lauren from 5J

 

5D - Mr Duff - Ahhhh forgot to ask the childen to write it, I was too busy with the last rush of people wanting to be involved with the fantasy football. Watch this space, it will be updated Monday.

 

6H - Mr Hautler - In maths we have been making a maths games.In English we have been acting as reporters using drama.We have been making our Lunar Theme Parks and we got £500,000 to spend! For our homework in Numracy we have been drawing 3D shapes and the listing their properties. Shoni and Lewcey

 

6M - Mr Martin - This week in 6M we did drama and a science test.We brought in cereal boxs for our castle models. We also learned about castles and how they defended themselves. We did our book fair posters. We finished our Science topic microbes. We had a fantastic persuasive writing lesson.Lauryn won the book fair competition. Most of the children in our class went to our fantastic book fair. Shabnam and Zhana 6M

 Headlines from Mr Knight

So what else has been happening at Darlinghurst Primary and Nursery School this week?

Reception - We have had such a great week thinking about flat shaes (2D shapes). We have been talking about their sides and corners, thinking about what they are called and finding everyday shapes in our surroundings. We are getting very confident with them and can make good shapes with our bodies.  Unfortunately our visitors 'who help us' were not able to come this week as we had planned so we are looking forward to see them soon.

1C - Mrs Collison - Hi again everyone!

 

Another busy week...as always!!  This week we having been thinking really hard about how we use our senses in everthing we do.  We have been using our sense of sight and touch to recognise the value of coins and our listening ears to remember which familiar events from story 'Peace at Last' by Jill Murphy involved Mr Bear using his senses. Perhaps the children could tell you the senses that Sir Doodles needed to stay safe!

 

Here's what the children have said they have enjoyed this week;

 

Shaun said 'I've enjoyed counting in 10's.  I can count to 100!!'

Gemma said 'I enjoyed making price tags for my bunny.  He cost's 19p'

Ellie said 'I liked painting.  I painted a picture of my cousin Ruby because I like looking at her.'

 

Next week we are thinking about new beginnings and the signs that show us that Autumn is beginning.  Perhaps if you are out and about at the weekend you can look for some things that you think remind us of Autumn.

 

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Collison & Miss Slade

 

2G - Mrs Grant - This week in maths we have been adding numbers by counting in 5s, 10s, and 2s, and although it was very hard I was very pleased with myself because I could do it. In English we made our own board games and wrote instructions for them. I wrote all my numbers on my own and Mrs Grant was pleased because the numbers were all the right way round. In Science we had to design an experiment to see what was the best reflective material. We then got to do the experiment and the tin foil was the best reflective material, it heps the cars see us when it is dark because the light is reflected off of it. In Geography we thought about the shops in our local area and how the big shops were opening and the small shops were closing. I think I have had a good week this week - Kaylie

 

2P - Mrs Peacher - This week class 2P have been making our own board games based around our local area. We had to write numbers up to 50 or 100 around our games and choose some squares to move on or back 5 & 10 spaces. We had to follow our instructions carefully to make our games. In ICT we wrote up our own instructions for how to play our games. Then class 1C came into our classroom and played the games with us. We had to explain the instructions to them. We had lots of fun. We also enjoyed listening to the drums.

3B - Miss Bernard - Hello everybody!

"I liked when we watched the Gladiator trailer"- Olivia K 

"Writing about Roman slaves was my favourite because I like writing"

 

Thanks 3B, I love your enthusiasm, looking forward to your Gladiator stories next week! Remind me to introduce to twitter next week and remember to bring in some boxes, tins, bottles, anything that you think can be made into a musical instrument for our Music Academy.

 

Have a great weekend children! - Miss Bernard

 

3/4B - Miss Bolton (Mr Bird) - This week provided the opportunity for the children to use drama as a way of examining some aspects of life during World War 2. They have really become involved and inquisitive about this period and have been eager to share some fantastic pieces of their relatives war history. I did have to stress that I was not alive during the War, although some of them looked doubtful when I told them that!

We have also participated in; an African drumming session, outdoors animal grouping investigation, French conversation - twice a day, practical maths word problems and some very creative writing on National Poetry Day.

With the rain somewhat interfering with playtimes, our PE was even more important and the children thoroughly enjoyed being introduced to a new team game.

Next week they are looking forward to completing their newspaper article in ICT.

 

3/4L - Mr Lloyd - Hi!

 

This week we have finished our newspaper reports and begun turing them into real life front pages in the ICT suite, they are looking real great! We also made our WW2 ration books using teabags to make them seem older, we put our names on them and they really look like the real thing! We also drafted up some morale boosting posters and read a poem called 'telegram boy' about WW2. Next week we are finishing our front pages! We also learned about Twitter and how to use it, its fun! Have a great weekend! - 3/4L

 

(N.B from Mr Lloyd....I would just like to say a special well done to 3/4 L this week on their maths work, their timestables have been excellent and they are really working hard...well done Mr Lloyd's Legends!)

 

5AD - Mr Duff - This week in 5AD we have done lots of column multiplication, Josh taught us he was good at it we have also done P.E. we finished our rainforest silhouettes. It was all fun can’t wait till next week. By Elliott.

 

5J - Mrs Johnston - This week we had to do something that involved how to germinate plants. We tried out our own experiment where we had to plant some seeds in different temperatures, places, amounts of water and light and dark.

We are also learning lots of times tables. By Eloise  

 

6H - Mr Hautler - This week 6H and 6M have been making maths boardgames and in English we have been writing storys about King's ,Queens and Dragons.In art we have been drawing still life pictures. by Jack & Megan  

 Harvest Festival

It's that time of year again and we have received lots of food and toiletries donations, so a huge thank you for these. For me though it was all about our harvest festival assembly! I have got to say how fantastic it was. If you missed it, you really did missed a blinder. Well done to all involved, I am still humming the songs you were singing, very catchy!!

Today the children and staff put on their jeans to support this very worthwhile cause. A charity that is close to my heart. Instead of me telling you all about them, click here to visit their website. They have some very moving short films on their site, and after watching a couple of them with my class I know it left with me with a large lump in my throat. Ellie and Tom's story and Tiana and Star's story really hits home what today has been all about. You can go straight to the films by clicking here. Thank you for all donations.

 Headlines from Mr Knight

What a brilliant harvest festival assembly! Very well done to all of those that took part and a very big thank you to Miss Bernard and Miss Peacher for their hard working putting everything together. We have received several letters complimenting the children on their work – which is always very gratifying. Also thank you for supporting our fund raising effort for the “Jeans for Genes” charity. We have been supporting this worthwhile cause for over 8 years now and all contributions are gratefully received.

This week two new members of staff have joined us for the first time.The first is our new Site Manager, Mr Stuart Clark. The second is Mrs Jan Kimberley who is joining the reception classes as an additional teacher. We are sure that you will join with us in welcoming them to Darlinghurst.

So what else has been happening at Darlinghurst Primary and Nursery School this week?

We have also been ordering things by size, thinking about things that are bigger, biggest, smaller and smallest. This week we have been very happy to welcome Mrs Kimberley as another teacher in the Reception Classes and we look forward to having fun playing with her. From the Reception Team.

 

 

1C - Mrs Collison - Hi Everyone,

 

I keep saying the same thing every week....but here it goes again!  The children have been superstars during another fantastic week!  They all try their hardest all of the time and amaze us with the things they learn!  The children have particulary enjoyed our English work which focused around the story 'The Cow That Laid an Egg' and thought it was hilarious when the baby chick said 'mooooooo'!  Here's what else the children said they have enjoyed.

 

Daniel said 'I liked practising my joined up writing in my new purple handwritng book.'

Laura said 'I enjoyed Maths because it was funny when I couldn't find any more addition facts for number 5.'

Reece said 'I liked making my face move.  I used glue to make my ears move and a straw to make my tongue stick out.  I ran out of time to make my legs move.'

 

Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Collison and Miss Slade

 

 

1B - Mrs Barrington - In Class 1B this week, we have really enjoyed listening to and acting out the story The Cow that Laid an Egg.  Jacob Clare in our class really liked the part when Marjorie shouted, "l' ve laid an egg!"  Finlay Doyle had fun learning about addition and knows some number bonds to seven.  We also have looked at our eye and hair colour and the only person in our class with green eyes is Mrs Dennis.  Next week we shall be focusing on our senses.

 

 

2G - Mrs Grant - This week we have been writing our own stories based on the story "We're going on a bear hunt." Some of us have been to space and seen aliens and some have been to the arctic and found polar bears. We have also drawn scenes from the story and made some props for when we acted the story out.In numeracy we have been looking at co-ordiantes and the four main parts of the compass, and the direction the bear might have taken and the places that he visited. In science we have pretended to be in the bears cave and tried to find some of the things that were in the pitch black, but without any light it was difficult to find them all.

 

 

2P - Mrs Peacher - Class 2P have been bear hunting this week and have had lots of fun! We have been looking at maps and directions in maths in the hunt for the bear. We also wrote descriptions of the bear in English for wanted posters, but still we did not catch the bear. In science we were looking at reflective materials which would help us be seen if we were looking for the bear in the dark forest. Today we have had lots of fun (and made lots of mess) creating caves for the monsters that we designed last week.

Well done to my stars of the week - Cameron (English), Sharmayne & Rebecca E (maths), George (science) and Lisa (handwriting). Also a big well done too all of the class for their fantastic performance in the harvest festival assembly. All of the other teachers have commented on how well they did too.

 

 

3B - Mrs Bernard - Hello everybody!

 

We have had a great week investigating 2D shape and symmetry, learning about slavery in Roman times, movements of the sun and shadows and practising for our Harvest Festival Assembly. The children have worked hard and I am really pleased with some of the results. We are STILL creating covers for our topics books in ICT at least the children are getting lots of practise with their IT skills.

 

Here are some of 3B's favourite things that they have enjoyed this week:

3/4L - Mr LLoyd - Hi all, another cracking week in 3/4 L!!  This week we looked at rationing in WW2 and began to work on our ration books which will have tea bags used on them to make them look old!! We also finished our Anderson sheletrs and put them on the wall....they look great! In maths we had lots of fun practicing our times tables in 'Stand up, sit down' well done to Riley who was the winner and Kierra who came runner up! Looking forward to next week when we make our ration books and ICT when we make our newspaper front pages! Have a good weekend!

 

 

3/4B - Miss Bolton - In science we were experimenting about woodlice with deep and shallow water to see what woodlice would like best.In Literacy we were doing a newspaper report about a lady called Mrs Cooper in World War two. In Art and DT we are doing an anderson shelter. In History we are doing about World War two and a Ration book that has tea stains all over it. And we have been doing in Numeracy number grids. Oliver + Jayden

 

 

5J - Mrs Johnston - This week in class we have carried on turning our classroom into a rainforest.  We have made our own maths word problems based around the rainforest.  We printed rainforest animal pictures to go with the problems and have hung them up in the classroom.  We have been practising writing introductions to our non-chronological reports.  We have shared our homework about what happiness means to us. We learned the song 'Lunchtime Queue' for the Harvest Festival.  We spoke about Winter when we performed with Miss Bernard's and Miss Peacher's classes.  We all had fun. This blog was written by Tayla.

 

 

5AD - Mr Duff - This week we have been looking at column subtraction but it was a bit hard but it was fun and worth doing. This week we have also looked at supporting paragraphs but Mr Duff did some modelling writing on the board first which gave us some ideas and then we wrote our own supporting paragraph with our partners and some of us wanted to put a rhetorical question at the end. We have also watched the harvest assembly. It was Jeans for Geans day today for charity. By Amber and Amie it was fun all week.

 

 

6H - Mr Hautler This week we have been doing division and have started our narratives. We have also been learning about team work through team building activities. On Friday we had a special assembly about the harvest which was very good. We also particepated in jeans for gense day. The school had a karate demonstration There may be a club that might be on next half term. George and Jessica

 

 

6M - Mr Martin - What an exhausting week!  Now that the term is in full swing, we have been as busy as ever.  We are currently engaged in writing exciting narratives in english about dragons.  We have been learning some key vocabulary for descriptive writing.  We have been studying the Bayeaux Tapestry for our topic on Kings and Queens.
