2 Red have been working as designers this week to create a remote control for a pirate. After discussing our design brief, completing our needs analysis and conducting some product research, we finally planned and made our own designs.
2 Red were so creative in their ideas. Some remotes could link up to the telescope in the bird’s nest of the ship, fire the cannon, steer the ship, locate enemy pirates through sonar devices an even project the commands of the pirate through the ship’s speakers.
Today in Math’s we focused on volume, we used various classroom objects to fill and empty different containers and used the associated vocabulary to describe the children’s findings. The children used their prediction skills to say how many objects would fill a container and then compared results.
The children understood that ‘the most important thing we need to know about volume is it is how much space something takes up.’
An extremely busy week in Reception. Lots of creativity, building, drawing and using our imagination to create stories! Great maths. Jobs combining groups and amounts. We had some fabulous independent writing, it is fabulous to see the children really using their Sounds Write skills! And this week lots of children pretending to be teachers which was amazing to watch and listen to 🤗⭐️👏🤗⭐️👏
Today in 2 Red we looked at the famous, French artist Claude Monet. We loved how lots of his work was inspired by his love for nature. We had such a peaceful and calm afternoon, enjoying painting our own version of Waves Breaking.

1 Red in LMTW world were looking at how to be safe in our community especially when out and about near the roads. We talked about the do’s and don’t of road safety and worked together to work out the correct way to cross roads. We watched road safety videos and copied the stop, look and listen signs. The children offered ideas and suggestions of who and what could help us safely cross the roads, for example adults, lollipop persons, zebra crossings and pelican crossings. We finished the session by setting up a road in our classroom, we looked for instruction from the stop and go sign to help us cross the road safely

As part of our science lessons in ‘Land Ahoy’ we watched a life boat and how it is transported from the garage to the sea. We decided to design and construct our own boat transporter. We worked in teams to design what we would build, made a list of what we would need to complete the task then we worked together to build our transporter. We worked well together discussing our ideas and trialing them then improving them until we were happy with our finished design. We then let our class mates see our design and showed them how it worked. It was amazing and we really showed off our engineering skills!
In 1 Red in LMTW ‘Unity in the Community ‘ we were looking at ‘Bird’s Eye’ views. We looked at various landmarks across the world from this angle and then the children discussed in depth what they could see. We then focused on our local environment and took a look at a birds eye view of our school. There was a lot of discussion and varying opinions about what the children could see. We then took it in turn to label parts of our school as if we were looking down on it.
In P.E this half term we are exploring dance. We loved learning about Paddington from Peru and the rainforest he lived in so we decided that our dance theme was going to be about an explorer in the jungle. We started at home, travelled to the rainforest, set up camp, explored the jungle, made a camp then found a mysterious object. We used our bodies to show the movement and our faces to show the differing expressions. We had great fun moving our bodies in different directions and on different levels.
We have had a very busy week! So much maths, exploring number bonds , capacity and so much more! Lots of creativity and building, team work and collaboration 🤗
