Year 4 have had a great afternoon making and sampling the foods and drinks of Jamaica.
We have had a great time celebrating the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee! Lots of red, white and blue fun finished off with a lunchtime street party!
This week in Year 1 we have been working hard to half both objects and quantities. We figured out that if we halved something it meant that we shared it between one other equally. We halved shapes, numbers of counters and sandwiches! We even ate both halves, I wonder what fraction that would make?
Our new theme in Learning Means The World is ‘ What on earth?’ We have been looking at living things, old and new things and life cycles. To ‘experience’ our learning we were so lucky to introduce in Reception some eggs in an incubator. We watched the chicks hatch and grow. Red and Blue class were a fabulous team and took great care of them!
In 1 Blue we have been learning how shadows are formed. We worked in pairs to make shadows with our hands. We moved the light source around to experiment what happens when the light is shining from different places and distances.
2 Red have connected their PE and Science this week. In Science, we have been finding out about the human body and what it needs to stay healthy. Part of keeping healthy was all about getting at least 60 minutes of exercise each day and making sure we do enough physical activities to cover this. To raise our heart rates we learned and practiced some new skills in PE. 2 Red showed excellent communication, teamwork and determination all week!
2 Red have shown how mature and sensible they are during PSHE recently. We had great discussions about secrets and also about our trusted adults, knowing who are our closest trusted people and when to seek support from these people.
This morning we have been printing. As part of our Going Wild theme we have been creating our very own animal prints. We have designed, made and printed using different techniques. We used nets to create a reptile skin. Paper to create tiger strips and shaving foam and tiles to print our own creations.
As part of our jubilee celebrations we have been creating our very own profiles of the Queen. We have filled them with all things British to celebrate her 70 years as our monarch. I think you’ll agree they look amazing!
7 Red having a fantastic time making place mats, plates, crowns and even bunting!
Enjoying our Jubilee picnic party…..Even the weather can’t stop the fun!
