Class 1 had a brilliant trip time at Forest School on Tuesday, making pace eggs over the fire. We welcomed new friends who will be joining us after Easter, it was lovely to see our children being so kind and caring towards them. In Drawing Club we have been focusing on the traditional tale 'The Little Red Hen', with everyone producing fantastic drawings. We are very impressed with the children's imagination and amazing codes. In Maths we have begun to look at numbers greater than 10 and different ways of building them. On Friday we welcomed parents and carers in for this half term's Book and a Biscuit - thank you to everyone who was able to attend, it is lovely to see our children enjoying reading.
Class 2 Perseverance was essential to our sewing this week, from threading the needle, tying the wool to using cross stitch and running stitch. We thought about where our money comes from and what it is spent on, with many children learning about all the utility bills which adults need to pay each month. We've been practising counting forwards and backwards in 2's, 5's, 10's and 3's, as well as thinking about unequal and equal groups as part of our new multiplication and division unit. We've began writing our animals information texts in English too!
Class 3 started the week with a wonderfully sunny day at the woods. We used whittling knives, practiced fire lighting skills and our knot skills. We had a very productive and positive day. Class 3 have been enjoying writing their final letters to the Wicked Witch. We can't wait to see their persuasive writing skills! We have also been doing art and using different painting techniques by creating tints and shades of colours. In Maths, we have been developing an understanding of fractions and converting mixed numbers to improper fractions. In computing, we are using Tinkercad, as 3D design programme to create a model village.
Class 4 have completed some fantastic writing this week. They have been working really hard to create a formal mission log, using technical language, a variety of punctuation and facts about landing on the moon.
During our visit to The Sands Centre, everyone has improved their trampolining and gymnastics skills. The coaches commented on the children's positive attitude and listening skills.
Everyone enjoyed learning about Humanism with our special visitor. The children asked thoughtful questions and enjoyed the quiz.
