Class 1 – what a wonderful response to bird watching week last week including homemade bird feeders, binoculars and a Go Pro recording from one household!

Class 2 – produced some wonderful descriptive writing about birds, including use of nouns, adjectives and verbs.

Class 3 – the children put a huge amount of effort into writing explanations about volcanos to show what they learned so far in geography which was really shown in their writing skills.

Class 4 – in English children demonstrated some really good descriptive writing of a machine based on ‘The Alchemist Letter’.  Children wrote letters and invented their own machines.  In Geography children created some really good infographics, informing people about plastic in the ocean.

Class 1 are taking part in national bird watching week.  We are using our binoculars to track what birds we can see.

Class 2 have done some excellent topic work last week with children creating hot-air balloons, aeroplanes, rockets and helicopters from various resources.

Class 3 children have been very creative and resourceful beginning their topic on sculptures – they have made lots of faces out of things which made up smile.

Class 1 – generally parents are engaging well on with online learning especially applying some of our maths mastery techniques.

Class 1 have connected and welcomed Miss Metcalfe to our community through asking questions and Miss Metcalfe posting a video with responses which has helped settle the children.

Class 2 shared their ‘recommended reads’ via video.  All children have persevered with their writing last week, well done!
