Wow, wow, wow! Year one pulled out all the stops for their class assembly, celebrating ‘The Life and Times of Elizabeth Blackwell’. The children were all fabulous, actors, singers, speakers and dancers who were able to confidently share the history of Elizabeth’s life. We definitely have some budding actors amongst us.
Today 1 Blue joined the rest of the school for our VE Day picnic. We had a lovely packed lunch with our friends and listened to some songs. It was amazing to see the bunting that we had created hung up for the occasion!
1 Red have had a great day celebrating VE day. We have sang songs, had a picnic lunch, played games and created lots of VE day art.
Year 4 have been learning how to round to the nearest whole number this week in Math. They thoroughly enjoyed playing a ‘beat your partner’ rounding game.
This half term in PE, we have been practising jumping, running and sprinting with our PE coach.
In RE this term year one have been learning about how important it is to belong to something such as family, class or community and how it is to feel accepted amongst these groups. We then looked at how Christians often gather in community groups at church for things such as weddings, christenings and baptisms. One Red then decided to have their own baptism in class, discussing the whole process and the important people involved. The children learnt the importance of togetherness and celebration and how that is a vital part in belonging.
Another very busy and amazing week in Reception. We had a visit from Mr O who was showing us some instruments, using rhythm and music. The creativity is fabulous! Amazing team work and lots of imagination. We have been using our maths skills in lots of our planning time and the independent writing has blown us away. The sunny weather is definitely helping as we can be outside working together ❤️⭐️
In our ‘Going Wild’ theme we have been looking at animal prints and the different textures, colours and combinations our wild animals have. In art we have tried to copy these prints using a range of materials and techniques. We then designed our own print for our imaginary animal.
In 2 red this week we’ve had a huge focus on explaining, verbalising and reasoning our methods and processes. To help us practice this, we have been teaching our aliens to add! We’ve had to make sure we have explained every detail of the methods to help our alien learn all about addition in Year 2.
In LMTW ‘Light up the World’ we have been focusing on different sounds we can hear in our natural environment. The children had to listen to the different sounds then act them out using different body parts for their friends to guess them. The children in turn guessed what each sound was then together made class actions for each sound.
