This week in Nursery we have been looking for shapes in the artwork of Andy Goldsworthy. The children have then created their own pieces using different shapes.

Grandma Visits Year 1
This week year 1 invited a special visitor into school. Miss. Phillips’ grandma came into school to talk to all of year 1 about the toys she played with when she was young. The children asked some really interesting questions and we’re fascinated to find out more about toys from the past.
Measuring in Maths
We had fun measuring in metres in maths today!
Champion Boxer Visits Reception
This week reception were visited by a champion boxer. She talked to the children about having perseverance and grit and determination in order to achieve her goals. The children looked at her medal and tired on her boxing gloves!
We have had a fun week learning about Diwali, sharing the Gruffalo story and learning about Halloween.
Problem Solving in Year 1
This week we took part in a whole school maths investigation. We thought about how many hands we would shake if we gave everyone in our class a hand shake. Then we thought about how many we would shake if we only shook one person’s hand in a learning pair. Children used resources and worked together to problem solve.
Year 5 Greek Day
Year 5 have begun reading Journey to Jo’burg this week and have enjoyed discussing the themes contained in this book during our English lessons. We have also been practising with written methods for multiplication, including the Grid Method.
We forgot to mention before half term, but Year 5 had an amazing time at our Ancient Greek’s experience day too – check out the images to see some of the things we got up to!
Launch of Year 2 Space Topic
Year 2 enjoyed making alien headwear for Beegu this afternoon. We followed instructions carefully and were really creative!
Times Tables in Year 2
Year 2 have started learning the 2s, 5s and 10s times tables. We’ve learnt that ‘times’ means the same as ‘groups of’.
For example:
3 groups of 2 is 6
3 x 2 = 6
During one lesson we looked at different pictures of objects in groups and wrote the correct multiplication sentence…
Year 1 Story Map
At the end of the term we learnt the story of the Little Red Hen. The children spent time learning the story from a story map, drew their own and then recounted the story.
Aztec artwork
Year 4 have been busy in their art lessons this week, creating their own Aztec-inspired artwork using oil pastel and watercolour.
