Year 4 have had a great afternoon making and sampling the foods and drinks of Jamaica.
In 1 Blue we have been learning how shadows are formed. We worked in pairs to make shadows with our hands. We moved the light source around to experiment what happens when the light is shining from different places and distances.
As part of our jubilee celebrations we have been creating our very own profiles of the Queen. We have filled them with all things British to celebrate her 70 years as our monarch. I think you’ll agree they look amazing!
We helped the Queen celebrate her Platinum Jubilee, it was so much fun!
7 Red have been exploring multiplication and division.
We have enjoyed sharing ‘equally’ and we challenged ourselves to find different ways of creating equal groups.
Mrs McCarthy had 9p to share ….we worked out that it couldn’t be shared equally between 2 but could be shared equally between 3.
3 groups of 3p.
7 Red worked together to think of a challenge question:
“How many equal groups can you make out of 100?”
Thank you to everyone who attended our Jubilee Coffee morning today, it was an amazing success and lovely to see parents back in school again. It was also great to see the art produced by the children as well as a special performance from Year 6.
Last week we came into Nursery to find someone or something had left footprints on our floor. We looked at the clues and thought about what it could have been. It had big feet and sharp claws and it had brought leaves and branches through the nursery too. After some careful thought, we decided that it could have been a Gruffalo!
We have had lots of fun with our Gruffalo activities this week and last.
Some of the activities included;
- retelling the story in the tuff tray and with the story stones
- using our maths skills to order by size and recognise digits to 5
- role playing in the Gruffalo Café and home corner
- exploring habitats and animal homes
- creating natural art inspired by the Gruffalo
- heading out on a Gruffalo hunt in the garden
- making play-dough Gruffalos
- using shapes to make Gruffalo faces
Take a look at the photos to see what else we have been up to.
