‘together we are stronger’
Latest News
A super sized THANK YOU to all adults and children who supported
Hello Yellow day. The Federation looked beautiful and bright with all
of the different shades of yellow. You helped raise over
£229....incredible. The money goes to the Young Minds Charity, that
support children and families around mental health. It was great to
hear across the schools, children talking about their own mental
health and wellbeing, such a wonderful way to support World Mental
Health Day. Thank you again. Miss Cook and Mrs Cass - Peacock
Class.
As you may already know, Mrs Hannah Gent will be leaving us at
half-term. I have the pleasure of informing you that we have
appointed a new Administrative Assistant, to be based at MIS. Mrs
Patricia Webster, who is currently working at The Blue Sky Federation
(Erpingham and Northrepps) will be joining us on 28th October (and
for a few days between now and then to ensure a smooth handover).
We very much look forward to her joining the team at The Coastal
Federation.
Get arty!!!
You can’t get much simpler than this! It’s called a Back and Forth
picture. All you have to do is take turns drawing bits of a picture...one
of you might start with a circle...the next person might add some
eyes...see how it turns out - will it be a person, a monster, an animal
or a building??! The best thing is, you can do it wherever you are and
use anything to draw with.

Get cooking!!!
This is a really easy and filling tea or lunch. You can choose to use
different vegetables and cheddar cheese instead of feta if you want.
Have fun making it together! It made me hungry just reading the
recipe!

Conkers
If anyone goes to the woods or is able to collect some conkers for us,
we would love them in Reception, to add to our mud kitchen.
Many thanks Mrs Steers

A big well done to our ‘design a chocolate bar’ competition winners.
This week, Mundesley hosted Cromer Junior School in a football match. It was a
very close match with 0-0 as the score for most of the time, until Cromer broke away
Year ⅚ football
and ended up with a win. There were some great individual performances and all the
children worked well as a team, especially considering it was our first game together!
In Orangutan Class class last week…
This week we have continued to segment and blend words eg I say c-a-t
and the children say cat and if I say sun, the children say s-u-n. Please
practise this as much as you can at home with your child, it will all help with
their reading and their writing.
In maths we have been talking about estimation and that an estimate is a
good guess. We have then been counting objects to see if our guesses were
good guesses. We then had to find the matching numeral. Everyone tried
really hard. Please practice 1:1 correspondence at home (touching objects
as you say the number) and recognising numerals to 10.
In topic we have started looking at ‘people who help us’; we created a mind
map of all our ideas. We then focused in on firefighters as we have the fire
station so close. We thought of lots of questions that we would like the
answers to and then we used non fiction books to find out.
We’ve been having lots of fun junk modelling this week. If you have any
spare cereal boxes, shoe boxes, egg cartons, bottle tops, toilet rolls
etc please bring them in so the children can continue to make some more
amazing items.
Also a big well done to Orangutan Class for an AMAZING Harvest Assembly!
In Marine, Polar and Glacier Classes last week…
Following all the work we’ve been doing on The Three Little Pigs, we have spent this week looking at
the story of The Three Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig! It’s been fun comparing the two stories,
creating wanted posters for The Big Bad Pig and thinking about how the pig changes by the end of the
story.
In maths, we’ve had fun representing numbers in an alternative way - using animals & their legs! Ask
your child how they made the numbers to 10 and higher! We’ve used these to write number sentences
using addition, more than, less than and equals symbols.
In topic, we’ve continued our work on habitats by starting to think about the plants that live in
different habitats in our school grounds.
Many of us enjoyed wearing something yellow on Thursday as part of World Mental Health Day. In our
PSHE session, we thought about things that make us happy. It was lovely to see so many of you at
the Harvest celebration on Thursday too.
In Land Class last week…
We have started to look at addition in maths, using lots of resources to help
us. We have been making numbers using bead strings, denes and number
cards to help us. In our topic we have been looking at various stone age
tools and weapons, we had a go at doing some really detailed pencil
sketches of Stone Age axes. We really enjoyed being part of the Harvest
Festival in the Church for the first time and hope you enjoyed our
performance.
In Population Class last week...
In English we have started a new story book called ‘Stone Age Boy’. The
children have enjoyed reading the book so far
and have got lots of ideas for their story writing next week. In topic, we
have created some amazing Stonehenge paintings. The children learnt how
to mix different shades and how to paint colour gradients which represent a
dawn or dusk sky. We then cut out silhouettes of Stonehenge and put them
on top of our skies.
In Power and Carbon Classes last week…..
We have been continuing with our WW2 dance and they are all coming
together really well. This has helped with our writing as we have been
looking at writing stories set during the Blitz. Our vocabulary walls are
growing and the children have been curious; finding out definitions for new
words we come across in our reading. Please can you listen to your child
read at home or remind them to read to themselves at least 3 times a
week!
In year 5 maths, we have perfected column addition and we will be moving
on to subtraction next week. Ask the children to show you an example!
In year 6 we have been focussing on the bar modelling technique and using
it to help us decide what calculations are needed to solve word problems.

Please check the newsletter for next year’s and the following year’s term dates. We are currently consulting on
the dates for 2020/2021 due to it being slightly different to Norfolk’s calendar however we have included our
proposal to give those who are planning future trips plenty of notice. In 2020/2021 where we plan to come back
early in September, the school will provide transport for those children who normally use the county bus.
PLEASE ensure that all holidays are taken during the designated holiday time
