This week the children have learned all about Celtic music and it’s origins. We even had the opportunity to compose some of our own.
This week the children have been trying their hand at sewing. This was no easy task, but like the true Adventurers that we are we gave it everything we had. Our bravery, resilience and determination led us in the right direction!
Huge congratulations to all of the children in Year 4 who this week completed their Multiplication Check. The children were calm and confident and we have no doubt that as a year group they have performed superbly. Well done everyone!
Well done to Jacob for his stellar efforts to learn his times-tables! Not only has Jacob put a huge amount of effort into Times Tables Rockstars, he has also delved deeper into his knowledge of the 9x table, producing a quite brilliant list of the multiples of 9! Well done Jacob!
Today in maths we have been learning about durations. We know that a duration is how long something lasts for and that some events can last more than one hour. We used our previous skills and knowledge of reading an analogue and digital clock to work out the durations of different events. To help us, we used our mini analogue clocks. We are now time experts!
2 Red showed just how creative they were when replicating animal patterns before creating and designing a animal print of their own.
They used a range of mixed media to try out different patterns and textures and also used some more unusual art tools. They created snake skin with paint, sponges and netting, elephant skin with paint and shaving foam, leopard spots with bubble wrap and paint and a whole range of other textures with chalk pastels, oil pastels, pens and pencils.
The end product of their own design carved into a foam board then printed onto paper was very impressive.
As part of our work around the book ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’ this week, the nursery children had lots of fun making some healthy ham salad sandwiches.
We talked about why we need to wash our hands before preparing food and the importance of a healthy, balanced diet.
The children used their fine motor skills to spread the butter, chop the cucumber and tomato (with help from a grown up) and cut their sandwiches. They did a great job and we had some very happy faces when they sat down to eat them too!
Well done, Nursery!

In English, we created and performed our own Viking poems based on the Viking invasion of Lindisfarne. We tried to make our poems rhyme and included some actions.

Today we have been learning about ordinal numbers and where we see them. The children agreed that they are mostly used in races so we decided to hold our own race morning where we awarded each other with the correct ordinal number. We had lots of fun!
Today in LMTW we have been learning about data inputting and why it is important in a business. We first started off with the question, ‘What is the most popular colour in 3 Blue?’ then we went and collected the data from the 28 children (and two teachers) in our class through a tally chart… which connects our learning to maths! We then inputted our data onto a spreadsheet and also created a bar chart to show us the results. From our results, we concluded that blue was the most popular colour in our class!
