1 Red are making music

9th February 2023L Chisholm

Unity In The Community is a lovely theme which teaches us all about our surrounding areas and to look at them in different ways.  We have been looking at not taking our lovely area for granted and to think about it with positivity.  We had a look at some very boring signs that we often see in the area around us and we decided to allocate each sign a sound.  After a while we realised that we had become composers and had created a musical story.  We then used 2Simple to generate our story and listened to our creations.  Look out Top Of The Pops!

School Council and Eco Warriors Bird Feeder Project

7th February 2023K Richardson

Last week the School Council and Eco Warriors worked together on a bird feeder project. We had a visit from Groundworks who talked to the children about visiting the tip, why you would go and what the children had dropped off.  We then discussed how we deal with rubbish and recycling and the importance of 3 R’s –  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle!
We learned the importance of keeping the earth happy and the damage of climate change.  The teams made bird feeders from recyclable material and then we hung them around our gardens!  The two groups worked so well together and were a credit to us all.

 

Y6 Keep Britain Tidy

7th February 2023C Campbell

Year 6 were on litter patrol this week, showing pride in our school environment. We collected two bags of litter that the windy weather had blown into the playground and against the perimeter fence. We agreed as a class how important it is to recycle as much as we can and place our litter into a bin, taking it home with us where this isn’t possible.

Well done everyone!

1 Red are Geographers!

19th January 2023L Chisholm

This week in our theme of ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’ we have been looking at maps and how to read them. We have been giving each other directions to find places on a map and we know the difference between human and physical geographical features. We even created our own maps and matching key. We then thought about the sounds that each symbol on our key could make and we composed our own geographical music score!

2 Red’s Classroom Display

13th January 2023L Phillips

Year 2’s new theme in Learning Means the World is all about Paddington’s Passport. After discovering that Paddington was born in Peru we decided to do some research about this South American country that none of us have visited.

2 Red worked as a team to create their very own display about Peru and it’s capital city Lima. It’s full of interesting facts and photographs and currently takes pride of place on our wall.

1 Red and the best week back!

13th January 2023L Chisholm

1 Red have hit the ground running this week by coming back to school energised and ready to learn. Our new theme is ‘Never Eat Shredded Wheat’ and within this theme we are looking at map reading and using a compass to find directions. In Maths we have been looking at making larger numbers by thinking how many 10’s are in the number and how many ones.  In our English we are looking at questioning words and how we use them and what replies they generate. We have had a brilliant first week back.

Year 2’s Winter Walk

15th December 2022L Phillips
Year 2’s Four Season Project continued this week with a focus on winter. We were given the statement ‘All plants die in the winter’ to prove or disprove. We went on a winter walk to collect photographic evidence to support out findings.

Year 2’s Table Manners

14th December 2022L Phillips

To complete our Zero to Hero theme which was all based on culture, Year 2 found out about different eating and drinking habits from around the world. Our different responses to burping, slurping and left over food created some great discussions. Our curiosity in the countries mentioned prompted us to find out more using our atlases.

Reception – a taste of India!

5th December 2022K Richardson

In our theme Come Fly With Me Asia we have been focusing on India. Today we have been cooking! We have made two curries. One was a lentil dahl and the other was a vegetable curry.  This afternoon we have been to our restaurant and ate our food, along with naan bread, poppadoms and rice. The children used their senses to describe the smells, what they could hear, see and how the food tasted.  We are so proud of everyone as they all tried some new foods! 🇮🇳👏🏻😊❤️
