• 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. 

  We have made creative caterpillars 🐛 and know all about the life cycle of a butterfly. 

  

• 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. 

  

• Year 5 - Sikhism

  Fri 28 Apr 2023

  In our R.E. lesson this week, the children discussed how Sikhs show commitment to their faith.

   

  One of the ways Sikhs do this is through the Five Ks: kesh (uncut hair); kangha (a comb); kara (a steel bracelet); kachera (undershorts); and kirpan (a sword). These are artefacts that are very important to Sikhs; they help Sikhs to live their lives in the right way.

  

• Year 2 - New challenges –Be an Explorasaurus!

  Fri 28 Apr 2023 FProbert

  Another busy week in Year 2. We have had new things happening in class this week.

  In PE, we got all of the equipment out and challenged ourselves to climbing up the ropes and the rope ladders, walking backwards on the benches, holding balances and showing different rolls on the mats. We tried to make our sequences impressive!

  In Science, we looked at the science results of our cress experiments. Our individual cress seed results were varied. 2MH’s cress grew wonderfully, but 2P cress results were not so fabulous. Being scientists, we could explore the reason why some cress seeds grew well while others were not so successful.

  Friday afternoon was great fun. Being an explorasaurus this time meant trying out different ways to attached wheels and axles to a chassis. This is to help us when we make our on moving vehicle.

  We welcomed Mrs Eaton to the year 2 teaching team this week too. We feel very lucky!
