• The very hungry caterpillar. By Reception

  Thu 04 May 2023

  We have loved learning the story of The Very Hungry Caterpillar. 

  We have even got caterpillars in our classroom- we are excited to see when they evolve into butterflies. At the moment one caterpillar is making its chrysalis.

• Outdoor learning in Reception.

  Thu 04 May 2023

  The children have the opportunity in their COOL time (choose our own learning) to work, explore and learn in our outdoor area. Lots of problem solving, team work, science, maths and new language is discovered here. 

  

• Year 5 - Angles

  Thu 04 May 2023

  In our maths lessons this week, the children have been learning how to use a protractor to measure angles.

   

  This is one of the trickiest maths skills taught in Year 5, but the children did brilliantly well. They learnt where to place the protractor in relation to the angle, how to choose which scale to use and how to read the scales accurately.

   

  The children will be building on this knowledge by using a protractor to draw their own angles.

  

• The ‘teen’ numbers in Reception

  Thu 04 May 2023

  The children have been exploring the ‘teen’ numbers and explaining that 14 is 1 ten and 4 little 1’s. 18 is 1 ten and 8 little ones etc. They have used lots of manipulatives to help with this, base ten, cubes, multilink, numicon and 10 frames with counters. We are very good at talking about our learning in Reception.
