Red Nose Day at Midfield

Midfield celebrated Red Nose Day on the 13th of March 2015! Midfield had a cake challenge. We had to pay £1 to take part in the bake off and the PSA kindly sold the cakes on our behalf after school.  We have managed to raise over £250 and that meant……..MR SHARP had to dye his hair red. It was really fun.  The whole school had to go into the hall to watch Mr Sharp have his hair sprayed red. I laughed so much that I was crying!

Midfield celebrated Red Nose Day. It was really fun and we had to bring £1 in to wear red clothes. 
We had to bring some cakes into school for a bake off – we had to pay a pound to enter. Well done to Callum and Ellie who won the bake off.  The cakes were sold after school and we raised lots of money, so Mr Sharp had to spray his hair red!

On the 13th of March Midfield celebrated Red Nose Day!  There was a challenge for Midfield to bake the best cakes so that we could sell them.  To enter, you had to pay £1.  There were so many yummy cakes I could just eat all off them! In the end Callum and Ellie won the bake off.

We had managed to raise over £250 which meant … Mr Sharp had to dye his hair red! Midfield took lots off pictures with him and everyone laughed so much they started to cough. All thanks to Mrs Long & Mrs Cardigan our Red Nose Day HEROES who made sure we had the red dye ready!
That is the end of my Red Nose Day report.

In code club we learn how to code objects as so to make characters move on the screen. Mrs Viljoen holds the code club in her classroom. We use code to find and figure out the different puzzles. The most fun thing is that we get to go on to different coding levels when we’ve finished each one. We have to tell the computer what to do to complete the puzzles.

EYFS blog 26.2.15

Another fantastic week! We have really enjoyed Book Week and Science Week. The children have told stories, role played and created broomsticks and ‘Gruffalos’. We have found out about the best materials for building houses (courtesy of the 3Little Pigs and The Science Museum Workshop). The children have completed writing connected to their class stories and have focused on learning how to write numbers correctly. We all enjoyed dressing up!

Next week we will continue with the story of the 3 Little Pigs. In addition we will start our phonics drop in sessions. The children will be working with their new groups for the first time on Monday so you will be able to see how the Read Write Inc sessions help them and some of the teaching techniques involved.


We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Tuesday!

EYFS: Blog : 13.2.15

What a fantastic week we have had! The children have been very enthusiastically taking part in Healthy Living Week and have learned about healthy diets; exercise and having fun!

We have also spent time finding out about China, Chinese Culture and Chinese New Year. The children had the opportunity to visit the Bluebird Class Noodle Bar and try some stir fried vegetables and noodles (we are so pleased that we no longer have carpet in Bluebirds class!)


When we return to school it will be ‘Book Week’ This will mean that the children will enjoy a range of activities connected to the stories of Julia Donaldson. Bluebirds will focus closely on ‘The Gruffalo’ and Grasshoppers on ‘Room on the Broom’. We will also have a visit from an author (Denis Bond). As it is also Science week, we will participate in activities related to the 3 Little Pigs story (investigating materials).

EYFS Blog 6.2.15


The children really enjoyed the opportunity to play in the snow this week and worked hard finding out about its properties and how it changes as the temperature increases. We were fortunate to take part in the visit from Rion Pierre who inspired the children when they were taking part in the activity session (circuit training in the hall!). In addition to this we have thought about how fish are different to other pets and how we can sort animals by their skin covering (do they have fur, feathers or scales?). During our Maths sessions we have ordered numbers and practised addition and subtraction by using the Maths Makes Sense cups. The children are working on mixed addition and subtraction problems such as 2+3+3-2= 6. Next week we will be continuing with the School Healthy Living project and finding out about how some people celebrate Chinese New Year.

23.1.15: EYFS

We have carried on with our animal theme this week and have focused on cats. We have enjoyed reading the ‘Mog’ books.

The children wrote information about what cats need, made labels and collages and found out about some of the difference between wild cats and domestic cats (this came with sound effects). We have carried on with our Read Write Inc programme this week and the children carry on working in their groups. During Maths the children have practised addition and  we have worked formally on subtraction for the first time (‘get ready to take away’). They have acted out number stories (using the correct Maths Makes Sense language) and both additions and subtractions within the same number story.  They have used ‘cups’ to solve the problems. Next week we will be reading stories about rabbits and finding out information about how to care for a rabbit. Our mathematics next week focuses on writing numbers and carrying on and creating patterns.
