Summer Term, July, 2015.
_________________________________________________________________________
Welcome! In this issue we round off
the school year with a picture edition
and some examples of work.
We hope that you have had a
successful year with your learning. Now
it’s time for some holiday fun. We
would like to remind you of some very
sensible tips:
Keep yourself SAFE. Use the
pavement to walk on, not the road.
Ride your bicycle carefully – watch out
for that car!
You can have FUN in the
SUN – but be careful not to burn your
skin! Use lotion if you go to the beach
or if you are going to be in the sunshine
for a long time.
I have streets, but no pavement,
I have cities, but no buildings,
I have forests, but no trees,
I have rivers, yet no water...
What am I?
We should all try to live by these values:
REVERENCE:
Moses and the Burning Bush.
Sometimes it’s fun to be
helpful around the house. Can you do a
couple of tasks to help?
FELLOWSHIP (Koinonia):
Feeding of the Five Thousand.
FRIENDSHIP:
Zacchaeus in the Tree.
Take a little time to get
ready for the next school year – don’t
forget your time tables. The holidays
are a good time to read that book, too!
FORGIVENESS:
The Prodigal Son
ENDURANCE:
Noah’s Ark
A map.
If Sam has 4 marbles
THE LOST TARANTULA
and Jane has 3, how
I fell out of my matchbox and when I fell out I
fell in an astronaut’s pocket and I went in a
rocket. When I got on the moon I floated
around the astronaut’s suit and I made a lot of
cobwebs around the astronaut’s visor. Then I
went back down to earth. I ran to a safe place
and started to make a web to catch my dinner.
After my dinner I went to Australia and I went to
my friend scorpion and we played hide and
seek and lots of other games. Then my friend
kangaroo came along with my matchbox. I was
really excited to have my matchbox again.

many marbles are there
altogether?
THE LADYBIRD ADVENTURE
I fell off my matchbox. I escaped. I felt
scared. I had something for tea then I
fell asleep. When I woke up I felt scared
because there were lots of dinosaurs
and then I saw a volcano. So I went in it
and it got hotter then I found my
matchbox. I nearly got to it, but I got
stepped on by a gorilla.

In SCIENCE, Year 1 have been learning about “SIGNS OF SPRING” and how plants grow.

It has been a busy
sporting term again.

Thanks to Mr Worsfold and Mr Heath for all their
encouragement and organization.

Years 3 and 4 visited the Living Land Show at Detling. Despite the poor weather, it was a great day,
which everyone enjoyed.
Mrs Hodsoll has
started a cake
decorating club.
From the looks of
things, everyone is
enjoying the sweet
taste of their efforts!
AMY R (Y6) has achieved her piano grade
1 and LUCINDA H (Y5) has achieved her
singing grade 1. Congratulations to you
both (and also to Mrs Gray)!

You may enter, but you can’t come in,
I have spaces, but no room,
I have keys, but not to open locks.
What am I?
A computer!
The whole school took part in a Giant Walking Bus on the playing field. The Walking Bus promotes
healthy exercise through waking to school, as well as awareness of traffic and how to use the
pavement safely.

Start with 10. So what is 10 x 2, plus half as much again, divided by 3?
How different is your answer from what you started with?
Year 2
Answer = 10 x 2 = 20 + 10 = 30 ÷ 3 = 10. There is no difference.

Year 4 crossword showing our school values
This is original work. Some slight corrections have been
made where necessary.
Naturally, they all agreed with me. They
helped me reach the top of our box and I
made sure the coast was clear then, quick
as a flash, I flew out of our box. This was it
– I was flying! The sweet girl spotted me,
put that other chick back in the box and
hugged me as tightly as she dared. I knew
I was safer here than anywhere else, so I
went to sleep after that exhausting
adventure.
LUCINDA (Y5)
Dear Mice,
When I was hanging [around]
outside your hole, if you thought I
was going to eat you I wasn’t
really. I was just saying hello. I have
a very boring life. All I do all day is
sit at the window and watch the
AN ADVERT FOR A TUDOR KING
clouds go by. Would you like to
come over to my house and have
A JOB FOR A KING
some cheese and cat food?
To be the king you have to be older than 7
years of age, brave and ready for
anything. You will have to be strong and
persuasive. The king must also be skilful
and swift.
You will be paid by your people. They will
pay taxes that will help the country. You
will also have a maximum of 3 days
holiday.
Your perks include lots of power, a good
army, money and to be able to do what
you want. You have to be strict to boss
your country around if they don’t
understand.
You have to be well educated, stubborn,
clever and able to make big decisions.
Please apply to be king!
LILY H (Y4)
From the Cat.

BEING A CHICK
My name is Wonder-Chick. I love being me.
I am the oldest, so naturally I’m in charge
and eat most of the food. Oh! We’re being
moved to…it says Year 5’s room. I can see
a smiling face longing to take me home.
She has a plait bigger than me. I’m
deciding to show off so that she might pick
me up. First, I show off my (starting to get)
feathers by spreading my wings out.
Secondly, I do the tap dance I did to get out
of my cramped egg. After that, I took a bow
and sat down, exhausted! Then I saw the
most horrible thing! She didn’t pick me up,
but picked up another chick! So I chirped to
the other chicks, “We have to do something
about this. That one is always being picked
up. We all want a chance!”
If 5 x 9 = 45, what is
45 ÷ 9? Is this an inverse
function or not?
6
5. Yes: multiplication is the inverse of division.
What are you
going to be
when you leave
school?
Year 6 took a break from rehearsing
their play to share a careers
guidance session with
Robertsbridge Career Champions
(Year 9 students from
Robertsbridge Community College).
It was an engaging event and was
very useful to inform Year 6 of
career possibilities.

Year 6 will soon be moving on to their new secondary schools. However, Mrs Tye and Mrs
Hamer’s work is not yet finished, as Y6 are rehearsing hard for their forthcoming play, which
is all about Ali Baba and the Bongo Bandits. We’ll report on that after the holidays.
Amy & Alec:
The small olympian bear was running a race with the dong with the luminous nose. The
fimble fowl came first, with its corkscrew leg. The orient calf came second because Mr
and Mrs Canary threw him over the duck, the owl and the frog. The duck, the owl and
the frog all lost a race to the golden grouse. The pobble with no toes told the blue
baboon to play the flute to the crumpet tree and the mulberry moon. Mr & Mrs Canary
wanted to race themselves, but the snail and the bumble bee couldn’t join the race.
Eloise & Leo: “The Weird and Whacky Night”
Mr & Mrs Canary met up with the snail and the bumble bee. They had tea under the
golden grouse tree. The orient calf from the Land of Tute came dancing to the crumpet
tree. The pobble with no toes came to the duck, the owl and the frog’s house. The
mulberry moon lit the dong’s luminous nose as he travelled to the attery squash court.
The biskey bat flew to the blue baboon, who played the flute wearing the quangle
wangle’s beaver hat. The fimble fowl with the corkscrew leg squished the stork. The
small olympian bear, who won a gold medal, flew to the mulberry moon and planted a
stork on top of Mrs Canary’s head.
