On Monday in maths, we were learning to share into equal groups using pizza toppings.

Key Stage 1
Summer Half Term!
Year One have worked so hard this half term… All of the staff are so proud of how amazing they have been settling back into school life and throwing themselves into their learning. We have been extremely lucky to be able to regularly visit the Outdoor Classroom, this has helped to inspire our learning and is something the children have really enjoyed.
Card Game Club!
This week we started our club and we learned to play ‘Go Fish’. The children picked the game up so quickly! Looking forward to next week.
Drama in Year 2
Year 2 have been exploring the character of Beegu from the story by Alexis Deacon. The children looked at various pictures from the book and imagined how the character might have been feeling when she encountered unfamiliar things in an unfamiliar world. We discussed the vocabulary and then created freeze frames to bring these feelings to life. The children were able to describe how they were feeling in the scenes they created, explaining why they might have felt like this.
Computing – Making Music
Today, the children learnt how to make music digitally using the Purple Mash program ‘2Sequence’. During the lesson children worked in pairs on ipads whilst exploring, editing and combining sounds using 2Sequence. It was great to listen to what music each pair composed!
Outdoor learning
Year 2 have been enjoying lots of learning outdoors! We had fun outdoors this week searching for signs of spring with Miss Geschke. Each class wrote a collaborative piece of poetry inspired by the nature trails.
Stick insects and 3D shapes
It has been so wonderful to have the children back in school this week and they have showed just how resilient they are by getting stuck straight into learning. This week we have enjoyed learning about animals and how they adapt to where they live – below are some photos of our camouflaged stick insects! The children really thought about the mix of colours they used, instead of one block colour. We have also been learning about 3D shapes and had a go at making some, using straws to help us to count the edges.
