tree climbing!

The Y4 Clans of Oak, Ash, Holly and Hazel were busy this
week working on creating Clan Medallions.

Four weeks ago the Y4 children formed their Clan groups
and a week later they were given their Clan Tree Names.
Each clan learned a little about what makes their tree so
special.

Our philosophy in Forest School is that unless children con-
nect with nature how will they learn to take care and pro-
tect it for future generations?

Year 5 Maths challenge

On Thursday 29/9, Mr. Slattery took a group of four Year 5 children to St. Andrew's prep in Eastbourne for an after-
noon of Maths challenges. Competing against 21 other schools, our two pairs performed well and had an intense 1 hr and
20 minutes of virtually non-stop problem solving, with pentagrams, timetables, and dominoes! Well done to the team of
Lilli Lewis, Buckley Blunden, Will Staley, and Thomas Willis.

European Day of
Languages

On Wednesday, the Prep School came alive with excitement once again and one could hear
languages being spoken across the school.

European Day of Languages 2018 had sprung into action! All week we focused on cele-
brating our rich cultural diversity here at Claremont. There was a real buzz throughout
the school and our language appetites were certainly catered for.

The children made a real effort with their European accessories which seemed to help
everybody to embrace the European ambiance!

Children and staff enjoyed French delicacies at a Café style trolley during break time
and the wonderful catering team and Chef also spoilt us with a delicious European menu at
lunchtime. A huge thank you for their hard work!

We enjoyed an assembly on Monday learning how influenced we are by our European coun-
terparts especially when it comes to food. A special mention to Dylan in Year 8 who
taught the whole school some Dutch.

In the classroom, special activities were in abundance. I was delighted to hear and see
such wonderful activities. In Spanish classes, we took part in a treasure hunt themed
European passport activity again which they gave to members of staff to hide in their
classrooms. There were also special music lessons and a wealth of activities going on
throughout different subjects in the school. As always, Madame Hood delivered some
informative insights into everything European.

Pre-prep were working on learning about different countries and once again flew the
“Language flag” superbly guided by the talented Madame Brownbill and her team.

This year we have also seen children being creative with the “Claremont Rocks!! “ initia-
tive by decorating rocks and hiding them around the school. I have really enjoyed seeing
the excitement the children have got from this activity. We will run this up to half term
so it is not too late to take part.

As I write this Madame Hood and 5C are experiencing the European Day of Languages
first hand as they are at “La maison Claremont”! ( 5S will be joining myself and Monsieur
Slattery next week too) It is clear as a school we are a strong language embracing school
which is what I love about being part of the Claremont family.

Thank you everyone for all your support. The learning outcome and enjoyment that the
children experienced made it so very worthwhile. I was so proud of our pupils just “giving
it a go” and for sharing their experiences of different languages and cultures. It is lovely
to see how much the children are once again more tolerant of our diversity. Madame Hood
and I look forward to sharing European Day of Languages with you next year.

Well played girls!

This week in 1S we greatly enjoyed our Three Billy Goats
Gruff role play lesson!
We also used 'hot-seating' to explore our characters fur-
ther - we had some excellent trolls!

RN have been learning to name and describe
2D shapes using the vocabulary ‘side’, ‘corner’,
‘straight’, ‘curved’ and ‘face’. We made Shape
Monsters. Aren’t they fabulous?

2B can say 'Hello' in different languages!

RN are so incredibly proud of their Year 8 helpers. Not
only are they all incredibly fabulous at helping us in our
classroom, but Izzy has been made Head Girl, Eve has
become Swimming Captain and a Peer Listener and Ossie
has been awarded the role of Peer Listener too. Freddie
is an important part of the Football Academy. What tre-

have you all.

Year 1 looked at European flags.

On the European Day of Languages, in 2B we cele-
brated Polish and Spanish with Alex, Ola, Jack

French!

Year 2 take recycling very seriously!

Ducklings &

Butterflies

This week the babies have been celebrating Harvest Festival by having a trip down to the Jubilee garden
where the Ducklings and Butterflies picked fruit and vegetables to do food tasting and printing. We have
also been making the most of the lovely warm sunshine by going for Autumn walks through the woods and
playing in the adventure playground with our friends from the Robins room.

Robins

This week we have started making some lovely work for our Autumn display board. We have done lots of
different creative activities including pine cone rolling, leaf rubbings, sticking leaves and sticks on paper
as well as sticking and painting with an assortment of materials.

Hedgehogs

The Hedgehogs have enjoyed looking at everything Harvest. We had a trip to the Jubilee Garden to col-
lect some vegetables. We then brought them back to Nursery to investigate them. We have been crea-
tive with a Harvest display board. We have also enjoyed lots of circle songs in the beautiful weather
this week.

Squirrels

This week we’ve focused on the letters in our name and counting and recognising numbers 1-10. The
children have welcomed a new child to the class this week, welcome to Squirrels class, Elizabeth. The
squirrels have been busy hand painting again to make more leaves for our friendship tree and we mixed
colours on paper plates to make fabulous autumn colours. During the week we took a stroll to the fields
and had a kick about with a football.

Badgers

This week we have used the story of 'The Ginger-
bread Man' as a focus for our learning. This has
meant we have had turns at acting out the story
using props and puppets, created representations
of the characters from the story using paints and
different materials, created our own gingerbread
shelters and also baked our own Gingerbread Men.
However, our bakes didn't run away!

Aside from this, we have also carried on our ice in-
vestigation and been tracing over the letters of our
name.

Foxes

This week in Foxes our topic has been 'The Ginger-
bread man'. We made boats to put our ginger-men
in, using lots of different materials, getting them
ready to see if they will float or sink. As a group we
listened to the story of the 'The Ginger-bread
Man' and talked about the different characters in
the story.
