Teaching and learning celebrations w/c 03/01/2024

Class 1 What a brilliant few days we have had in Class One! We have enjoyed hearing all about the Christmas holidays and playing with friends, as well as getting stuck back into work with a really positive mindset. We have introduced our new topic, 'Who helps us?', and spent time sharing our home learning and ideas. We have begun learning about non-fiction books and their features, as well as having a first look at our story book for this half term, 'Star in the Jar'. It has been nice to get back outside, where there has been lots of imaginative play, creativity, problem solving, construction, treasure hunts and maths. Well done everyone!

Class 1 It has been a very busy week in Class 1. We have been working hard rehearsing our nativity and are excited to share it with you next week. As part of Understanding the World we had two special visitors, Mrs Paterson and baby Lincoln, who came to answer all our questions about our topic 'Babies'. We loved welcoming Reception parents in for our Awesome Endings, thank you for the fantastic turn out. We have had lots of opportunities to be creative, with performing and Christmas crafts. On Thursday we enjoyed our whole school Christmas dinner, and we finished off our week with our Reindeer Run. Keep up the good work Class 1!

Class 1 have had a very productive week. We are well underway with our rehearsals for the Nativity and are enjoying spending time with Class Two. Nursery have been reading 'Hippo has a Hat' and have created some great hat designs. Reception's new book is 'The Happy Hedgehog Band' - a very noisy story! Reception have been working very hard to learn their tricky words, we are very impressed - they really are tricky!

Nursery are becoming subitising superstars and have been representing totals in different ways (circles, lines, cats!), while Reception have been learning all about shapes and beginning to use numerals in their recording.

Class 1 Our stories of the week have been 'The Leaf Thief' and 'Wow! said the Owl". The children have loved retelling the stories, and made some fantastic posters with brilliant writing and pictures. In maths we have been looking at composition - the whole and the parts that make up the whole. We enjoyed planning, making then eating fruit kebabs, identifying the whole and the different parts. We have also been making our own 2D shapes and exploring printing to make circle pictures. In our SCARF sessions we have been talking about what makes us the same, what makes us different, and why it's a good thing that we are all different. This has linked nicely to our work in science where we have been sharing baby photos and talking about how we are different now to when we were babies.
