Resourcefulness - These pupils have been curious about their learning, made links between ideas, shown imagination, reasoned methodically and capitalised on resources. 

Year 1: What We Are Learning!

 

Year 1: What We Are Learning 

This week in Literacy, our young writers plunged into the wonderful world of storytelling as we explored the rescue of the whale in the Story of The snail and the whale, focusing on sequencing events, adverbs of time, and becoming adjective detectives.

The children "uplevelled" everyday adjectives like big, small, sad, and happy into much more exciting vocabulary!

Once the children knew the sequence of the story, it was time to write sentences about it. The children did a fantastic job of orally rehearsing their sentences out loud before using their time adverbs to bring their writing to life!

This week in Maths, the children have been learning about unitising, which is an important skill for recognising the value of coins and preparing to work with money.

To support this learning, the children used pre-money counters in our class shop. They practised grouping and counting the counters to "buy" different items, helping them understand that one object can represent a value, just like a coin.

Next week, we will begin learning about money, where the children will apply their understanding of unitising to recognise coins, count amounts, and make simple purchases. You can support your child at home by looking at different coins together and talking about their values.

This week in Science, our Year 1 children explored where our food comes from and the journey it takes from farm to fork. They learned that food can come from plants or animals and discovered the different stages involved in getting food from farms to our plates. 

Well done Year 1 for an amazing week - keep up all your brilliant work!

Year 2 - Learning Blog

 

We would just like to say a huge thank you to all the children for how resilient they have been during this heatwave. They have continued to work hard and have hardly complained at all (unlike us adults! 😊).

We have been doing our best to keep everyone as cool as possible by enjoying water play and spending time under our lovely big trees, where we can enjoy the shade and fresh air.

Well done, everyone – we’re so proud of you! 

KS1 Parents/ Carers - Additional Waterplay

Dear Parent/Carers,

Due to the hot weather, we will be extending our water play activities in Year 1 and Year 2 over the next two days.

If possible, please send your child in with a named change of clothes and a pair of spare shoes for tomorrow and Friday as some children may get wet during these activities.

Many thanks for your support!

Rowan Class - Forest School

 Rowan class had a good morning learning about the water cycle today. There was a breeze for most of the morning which helped keep us cooler. We had plenty of water activities including making pictures using spray bottles, making boats/rafts, drawing with ice. Then we enjoyed cooling off by shaking water on the tarp and finished off with a water challenge. The whole class worked together to transport the water along guttering into a bucket. The children leant that the guttering needed to overlap and be higher at the beginning than the end. Well done everyone.
