Reception
All the Reception children are having fun settling into our school routines and making new friends. Children and staff have enjoyed talking about our families and pets, singing our phonic songs, playing number games and thinking about shapes. Many of the children thought that the best experience of the week was doing PE in the hall! Olivia said “I liked listening to stories” and Tripp said “I liked the number puzzles”.
Year 1
Year 1 have been extremely busy learning about Traditional fairytales. This week we have started The Elves and the Shoemaker and have enjoyed reading and watching different versions of the story. We have also changed characters and events to create our own stories. Some of us have been role-playing using characters in the story.
In maths we have been doing counting backwards and forwards in one`s and also addition and subtraction sentences using numbers 0-20.
1K have completed their animal masks in design and technology after working hard for two weeks on their designs. The masks have moving parts and look fantastic!
Year 2
Ahoy there me hearties!!
Well we can definitely say we had the most fun on Wednesday…although Mrs Collison sounded more like a farmer than a pirate we all tried hard to keep the pirate lingo going! I think our most enjoyable moments were using co-ordinates to find the pirate treasure, learning ‘The Pirate Song’ and designing and making Captain Blackbeard’s pirate ship from over three hundred years ago.
The rest of the week has also been very entertaining with lots of learning opportunities for finding the value of the hundred, ten and unit in a number and how forces were needed to pull the Enormous Turnip from the ground. Looking forward to some more great learning next week.
Have a happy and safe weekend.
The Year 2 Teachers
Year 4
We have had a really busy week. In class we have started to read ‘Stig of the Dump’ and we are enjoying it. On Monday we made our own ‘dump’ in the classroom. Thanks to parents and Mrs Amran bringing in boxes and bits of trees.
The children had worked hard on subtraction and also number bonds to 10, 100 or some children have gone into 1000s. In science we have started to look at habitats for different animals and have used the internet to help us.
Hopefully the children will be able to tell you a little more about Egyptians.
