Rocket Class
Rocket Class Spring Term 2021
Wow, what a term! Rocket class have been working hard learning, exploring and experiencing activities linked to famous people in the last 2 centuries. This includes all the many inventions that have changed our lives. Most of these use electricity, and make everything we do so much easier, but many involve getting hot so we need to take care.
We are also really happy to all be back at school full time as we missed one another when numbers were limited. We have been very luck and none of our students or staff have succumbed to COVID, but have all been washing our hands, and our teachers look funny wearing their masks!
Rocket Class Summer 2020
This term has been a strange one for everyone due to COVID-19 but Rocket Class were still able to learn lots both at school and at home and have lots of fun whilst doing it, as shown below!
Summer 2020
Rocket Class Spring Term 2020
This term Rocket Class have been learning about Festivals and Celebrations and the Weather.
We have done lots of work around our weather topic including, wearing appropriate accessories for different weathers, for example, wellies, scarves and umbrellas. We have made lots of rain art and also read lots of stories. The children particularly enjoyed a story called 'The Rainy Day' as they were able to splash in a big puddle in the classroom.
For our topic of festivals and celebrations we have been lucky to celebrate some birthdays, St Patricks Day, Pancake Day, Chinese New Year, World Book Day and The Holi Festival. The children made party hats, Chinese dragon pictures, flipped pancakes and chose toppings, had a St Patrick's Day assembly, had some birthday parties and, for the Holi Festival, we made a very big painting using our bodies which all of the children enjoyed doing.
Rocket Class have had a lovely Spring term as can be seen in the pictures below.
We hope you are all enjoying home learning and are keeping safe and we look forward to hopefully seeing you all soon!
Rocket Class Spring Term 2020
During the Autumn term we have been looking at 'people who help us'. We read some lovely books, including, Doris the Doctor and The Jolly Postman. We dressed up as doctors and pretended to use a stethoscope to hear heart beats. We also enjoyed making our own post boxes and writing letters to our friends.
In maths we have been focusing on recognising numbers. We have been using props when singing counting songs and counting up to 10.
We really enjoy write dance, where we learn early writing skills. We have been focusing on making deliberate marks in the shaving foam and trying to copy shapes and lines.
The pupils have settled into Rocket class really well this term. Please look at some pictures of our learning below.
Rocket Class Autumn term 2019
Summer 2019 - Rushmoor in Bloom
In the Summer term we have been working hard to make our garden look lovely! We started by getting the weeds out of our planters ready to make room for our new plants. We went to Wilkinson's to choose some new plants to buy and then we came back to school to plant them. We spent lots of time exploring the mud, practiced digging with a trowel, put the plants in the hole we had dug, filled it in with soil and then used the watering cans and hose pipe to water them regularly. It was very messy and a lot of fun!
Ducklings - March 2019
Fire Engine Visit - March 2019
We had a Fire Engine visit to the school which we really enjoyed. We got to dress up with firemen hat and coats and have a look around the fire engine. We also saw the blue flashing lights. Our favourite thing to do was spray the hose against the target. It was such a lot of fun!

Autumn Term 2018
Rocket Class have all settled well back into school after the summer holidays. One of our topics has been 'Ourselves'. We have been painting with different parts of our bodies such as our hands and feet. We love getting messy! We have also been working on choice making with different coloured paints.

Autumn Term 2018
Rocket Class have been learning about Pocahontas. As part of this we went to Virginia Waters to see the totem pole there. Luckily the sun was shining for us. We had a picnic and a walk around the lake to feed the ducks too. It was such a lot of fun!
