English

We are authors! We all wrote our own version of WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. We took great care to use full stops, capital letters, ambitious vocabulary and to keep our writing on the line. We tried to make our writing look beautiful on every page.

We read our books to the children in Reception, Years 3 and 4. They were impressed and also gave us some great feedback.

Phonics 

Some of us have been revising ee in see, ea in leaf and e_e in Pete.

Some of us have been revising some of the different oa spellings - ow in snow and oe in toe.

Maths

We have been counting in the pattern of 2s, 5s and 10s. We have identfied where these patterns are on a hundred square and counted groups of different objects.

R.E.

We had so much fun learning about Jesus teaching in the Temple. We realised that many people did not like Jesus and believed that He was not the true king. We role played King Herod and the leaders of the land against Jesus and His disciples.

Computing

You may have noticed that we have been practising how to upload pictures and videos to Seesaw. We now know how to open the iPad and record evidence of our amazing learning!

D.T.

We planned our smoothies ready for next week. We chose our fruit and wrote some simple instructions.

Forest School

Some of us have been learning how to plant seeds. 

Some of us practised our knots and made a forest eye.

There was also some super child-initiated learning involving making a stream, cooking with wild garlic and discovering a snail hide-out!

We have really enjoyed having the students from Japan working with us. Their professor, Yuichi, spent lots of time with us in Year 1, finding out how we learn in our school.

We also had a great time with Freddy Fit! He put us all through our paces and taught us about the importance of keeping fit and healthy.
