• Friday 17 December 2021 Fox Class Autumn Week 14 2021 I can't believe I am writing my last Blog at Spooner Row! I have had an amazing 12 and a bit years at this school and it has been far more than 'just a job' for me. My two children have beenvery much part of school life since they were babies and I have made so many wonderful friends along the way. I will really miss all the staff, children and parents but I am glad that Freya will still be here, so it is not a full 'goodbye'! Spooner Row will always have a very special place in my heart. Thank you so much for all the amazing messages, cards, emails and gifts that I have received over the last few weeks. It means a lot.

• Friday 8 October 2021 Fox Class Say Hello Yellow Well done to Fox Class who said Hello Yellow to support World Mental Health Day and raise funds and awareness for the charity Young Minds. The children seemed to really enjoy the day and wore their yellow clothes with pride. They also joined in with an assembly all about mental health. In total the school raised £183... A little yellow can make a big difference! A huge thank you to everyone who supported the event!
• Friday 8 October 2021 Fox Class enjoy making Pumpkin Soup After a very busy couple of weeks Fox Class finished their literacy work by actually making pumpkin soup. The children worked brilliantly in groups to cut, mix stir and pour all the ingredients just like in the story. What a fabulous way to celebrate all their excellent instruction and recount work. It looked and smelt very delicious too!
• Friday 1 October 2021 Fox Class Autumn Week 4 2021 Our Literacy work this week has been based on the story 'Pumpkin Soup' by Helen Cooper.

They have been really confident mixing with the rest of the school at playtimes and assemblies, which is something a lot of them have never done before.

• Friday 16 July 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 13 Here we are at the end of our final full week!  I can't believe that we only have 3 days to go.  Hopefully you all saw the separate Blog about Sports Day yesterday.  Here are a few photos from this week.  It has mainly been a 'finishing off' week and we enjoyed watching a recording of the Year 5/6 Leavers' play this morning.  
• Thursday 15 July 2021 Fox Class Week 12 Sports Day Here are the photos of Fox Class competing in Sports Day this morning.  They all did so well and really embraced all of their races. They all did the flat race, sack race and egg and spoon race.

• Friday 2 July 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 11 We have finished off the week this week with composing some more music for our glockenspiels. The children are getting really good at this.  
• Friday 25 June 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 10 Ringsfield The main highlight of our week this week was our trip to Ringsfield Hall.  We had such a fantastic day and they were very pleased to see us again - we were their first school since Covid!  We had an action packed day in the woods.  We have just made a list in class of some of the things that we did.  Here is the list:
• Friday 18 June 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 9 In Science this week we went on a wild flower hunt.  We were searching for dandelions, daisies, buttercups, clover, nettles, brambles, dog rose and ivy.  We found all of these and the children should now be able to identify these.  
• Friday 11 June 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 8 Well done everyone for another great week this week.  The Year 1s have worked very hard this week on their end of year assessments and I am very proud of them all.  The Year 2s have had several Maths and Literacy lessons outside during this time.  As all the main tests are now done we celebrated with an ice lolly this morning!  
• Friday 28 May 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 7 This week the Year 2s worked very hard at some assessments while Year 1 worked outside for Maths, revising number bonds, position and direction and time telling.  They also did some work in Literacy on The Gruffalo.  
• Friday 21 May 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 6 There has been much excitement in Fox Class this week as the guinea-pigs had their 2nd birthday!  The children have been busy making cards and they have been given lots of lovely presents!  They will be on a strict diet this weekend at home!  
• Friday 14 May 2021 Fox Class Week 5 This week in Science we measured the beans for the last time before they went home.  Some had reached nearly half a metre tall!  
• Friday 7 May 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 4 This week seems to have gone very quickly with the bank holiday!  We have still fitted a lot in to the four days though.  In Literacy we have carried on our work based on the book 'The Slightly Annoying Elephant'.  In Maths we have been revising telling the time, 3D shapes and measuring capacity. Our beans are continuing to grow very well.  The children made nature sculptures with Mrs Gray.  We have continued to play the glockenspiels in Music and started to learn about notation today.  The children also listened to Beethoven's 'Ode to Joy' and drew pictures showing how the music made them feel.  
• Friday 30 April 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 3 This week the children were making pictures in Art out of natural objects with Mrs Gray.  We have been working on doubles and halves and  fractions in Maths and have started a new book in Literacy - 'The Slightly Annoying Elephant' by David Walliams.  The children are enjoying watching their beans grow in Science.  We have been playing the glockenspiels in Music.  Today is 'National Daily Mile' day so the children all did some extra laps this morning!
• Friday 23 April 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 2 This week the children all planted beans in Science.  We are watching them carefully to see if we can see any signs of germination!  Year 2s enjoyed their first cricket session on Wednesday, while Year 1s were doing computing with Mr House.  They will swap over in a few weeks.  We have continued our work on addition and subtraction in Maths and had a grammar focus in Literacy this week.  
• Friday 16 April 2021 Fox Class Summer Week 1 We have had a lovely first week back after the Easter Holidays.  It has flown by!  The children all wrote recounts of their Easter holidays in Literacy.  We have started a new topic of Plants in Science.  In Topic the children made clay models of something 'natural'.  We have enjoyed our first music session on a song called 'Our Immagination' and the children started to make up their own lyrics for it.  P.E. was rather wet this week but the children did brilliantly as usual!  Our certificate winners this week are: Henry and Cole for a great improvement with their writing. Flynn is our star reader. Archie won the Sports Award. Have a lovely weekend everyone.
