In our theme of ‘Zero To Hero’ we have been looking at Thomas Eddison who created the lightbulb and how we use this invention daily. We then looked at how we can make lightbulbs and other equipment work using electricity with mains power and battery power. We looked at different batteries and thought about what toys we had at home that needed batteries to work.

If you are ever stuck on how to add 3 digits together just ask one of us! We are amazing and found that we could use our 10’s frames to place each number. We then realised that once we had made them the other number was easy to see. We are experts now and were able to answer some mastery questions.

It is an engaging story of discovering your talent, overcoming stereotypes, finding your team and having confidence in yourself, with a fun, uplifting message for a young audience.

Get yourself booked up and come and see the fabulous story of ‘Sweet’ Caroline… (Ba-ba-baaaah)
As part of R.E. we have been learning about Moses and how important he is within the Jewish religion. We looked at the early years of Moses and designed a slider to show Moses floating along the river in his basket. We then read the story of the Burning Bush and how God instructed him to go and release the Israelites. After that, we looked at how Passover is celebrated and we designed our our Sedar plate then thought about all the ways we are thankful and added tham to our Menorah candles.
Reception have been learning about the Harvest Festival. Kit Kat the Bunny and Jenie brought some vegetables to school. They told the children that every year they go to a special celebration in their church where they thank God for all of his food gifts. They also talked about how Christians take food to church to celebrate the Harvest Festival and then share the food out with people who live nearby. We talked about our favourite vegetables, described how they felt, their size colours and what they looked like. We then investigated them with our friends. We read the story Oliver’s Vegetables and sang the ‘Cauliflowers Fluffy’ song.
Every Friday in Year One we have a Motor Skills session to help support our fine and gross motor skills. The children are becoming increasingly more confident whilst using the equipment to help strengthen their to muscles to support their physical development.
In 2 Blue this week we have been looking at what Media stars and people working in the media industry work with. We looked at some of the equipment and decided that they have a lot of buttons to remember. We then experimented with our very own podcast station and we interviwed our friend using questions that we had created. We each took a turn asking and answering the questions and obviously experimenting with the different sound buttons on the pod cast machine! At the end of the session we decided that we wanted to generate some questions to use to interview Mrs Moody. We came up with some corkers that we can’t wait to hear the answers to!
