Day

We are learning the value of all the different coins so we can add and subtract the values. This is very important skill to know so we can go shopping! 

We love our lessons in the woods. We found lots of signs of Spring, including bluebells and daffodils. We know the days are now getting longer and we will see more sunshine.

The sounds this week are:  igh, ie, i-e, y ure, are 

English -We are looking at explanation text linked to our senses. Maths -We are looking at finding fractions of amounts and symmetry.  Science -We are looking at what happens to our body when we exercise and how to keep healthy.  Next Thursday 23rd March is our last...

In English we will be looking at explanation text.  In maths we will be revisiting fractions. Show and Tell is Group 4. The Big Pedal starts next week so it would great to see as many children and parents/carers as possible coming to school on bikes and scooters! Please keep...

Spellings this week will focus on the ‘igh’ phoneme but more specifically the ‘igh’, ‘ie’, ‘i_e’ and ‘y’ graphemes. 

The children have been investigating the 5 senses this week and all had a go at tasting different flavoured crisps, smelling spices, touching different objects, listening to sounds and carrying out an eye test.   

In English the children have been reading a story about a young boy who discovered lots of vegetables for the first time in his Grandpa’s garden. They have been creating their own vegetables patches using watercolour pencils!

After reading Oliver’s Vegetables, we began creating our own allotment artwork inspired by illustrations from the story! First, we sketched our pathways then began adding different fruit, vegetables and objects to the surroundings. We’ll be activating the watercolours...

We read the story of Oliver’s Fruit Salad and used commas to list all of the different fruit in the story. Some of us also used expanded noun phrases to describe the fruit too!

We are using the Chrome books to consolidate our subtraction skills. We can find the missing number in a sum by using a number line to count back. It’s great to see how many we get right in two minutes. Class 2 are making such good progress. 

We love to go shopping and spend some money so we are working hard to recognise and name the different coins we can use. Our next step is to add and take away different values using our money cards. 

March 1996 – Shed Seven played on TFI Friday and Alan Leach is here on the drums – just watch how he somersaults over his drum at the end! Fast forward 21 years – March 2017, Alan Leach, doesn’t look a day older and will be somersaulting over to Park Grove...
