This is us!

Hello everyone and welcome back to Term 2, we hope you have all had a really lovely break and are ready to come back to school for some exciting learning. This term our topic is all about London with a focus on Geography. Please continue to look at our page for more!

Awe and wonder!

Using technology to recreate cubism

Exploring London!

Today we used a compass and programed our BeeBots to explore all the London landmarks! Last week in our Geography lesson, we learnt all about the landmarks that you can find in London and we used our knowledge to help our BeetBot explore! It was so much fun!! We also wrote out the algorithm we needed using the vocabulary North, South, East and West.

Skilful Day!

We had such an amazing day for skilful day and learnt so many new skills as well as practised some we could already do! We learnt how to tie show laces, did a little bit of sewing, wrapped up presents, learnt how to map read, had a go at may pole dancing and even made a smoothie! It was so fun and the children had a wonderful time!

How to trap a dragon!

For our writing this week we have been learning about instructions and how to follow them and then write them using time conjunctions. We read a book about how to trap a dragon and then followed the instructions to see if we could trap it! The instructions were:

First dig a hole using a magical spade.

Next, cover the hole with a blanket and cover the blanket in sticks and leaves.

Then place a lump of tasty meat on the sticks and leaves to lure the dragon.

Finally, hide somewhere and wait for the dragon to eat the meal and fall down the hole!

Choosing our ‘reading for pleasure’ books!

The children were so excited to choose their own book from the bookshelf this week as you can see by their happy faces! This books can be changed every Friday and are there to be shared with the family, we hope you all enjoy reading them at home.

Using 10-frames to add numbers together

We have been learning how to add 1 digit numbers together and using our number bonds to 10 to help us calculate efficiently and quickly in our heads. We have been using 10 frames to help us visualise the numbers and support our learning.

Experimenting with materials - do they change shape or not?

In our science lessons we have been learning about materials. This week we looked at different materials and whether they can change shape. The children experimented with a variety of materials and tested to see if it could be squashed, twisted or stretched.

A visit from 'The Bridge Project'

We went on a lovely wonder walk and thought about creation. We discussed how Christians believe that God created the world so we walked around our beautiful grounds and found things that God created. We then welcomed The Bridge Project into our classroom and we did some really exciting activities all about God the creator.

Awesome adjectives

Here the children are thinking of a variety of different adjectives to use in their settings writing. They thought of so many different describing words which are now hanging in our classroom for everyone to use.
