What we have been learning about in class 2! (WB 10.10.20)
Date: 16th Oct 2020 @ 12:55pm
This week in class 2 we have been learning all about houses around the world. The children have really enjoyed using the book 'You Choose' to find their perfect house. Every child in the class has drawn their perfect house and then labelled it thinking about the sounds they can hear in the words they want to write.
In maths this week we have matching numbers and quantities. The children each had a gift bag with a different number in and they had to go around the room to collect that number of objects.
Throughout the week the children have noticed the leaves that have fallen onto the floor in our garden, we decided to pick them up and on Friday afternoon we completed lots of different learning activities with the leaves. We made leaf people, used crayons to make patterns with the leaves and even collaged pictures of our faces with the leaves. We had so much fun following our interests!

We also made little paper houses with drawings of our family members. To end the week we shared family photographs and spoke about out family members to our class.

This week year 6 have been learning about microorganisms in science. We discovered that they can be both good and bad microorganisms, like mould and penicillin. We then decided on an investigation to see what makes mould grow fastest. We came up with a range of ideas including how temperature, light and dampness would effect mould growth. We are now going to monitor the bread for the next week and measure mould growth. We all also made predictions about what we thought would happen.

What we have been learning about this week in class 2! (WB 5.10.20)
Date: 9th Oct 2020 @ 6:18pm
This week in class 2 we have been learning about the story ‘The Runaway Chapatti’. The children all recognised that it was very similar to one of our favourite traditional tales ‘The Gingerbread Man’. The children have all sequenced the story and retold the story in their own words to an adult. Why don’t you ask your child if they can retell it to you!
All of the children worked with Miss Seddon to make their own chapattis and we really enjoyed eating them. Zaynah said after eating it all up that we had all turned into the tiger because we had eaten all of the chapattis just like in the story!
In maths this week we have continued our learning into numbers and the children have each made their own number line to 10. I was very impressed with the children’s numeral recognition.
Our super learning this week in Class 3

This week in Class 3 we have had such a fantastic week. In maths we have been looking at addition and using lots of different methods to help us soliving our number sentences.
In Literacy we have been reading the book 'The lonely beast.' Class 3 wrote some amazing descriptions all about him. We were SO impressed with the different adjectives they came up with.
During our Design and Technology lessons we have started looking at lever and slider toys. We had a go at playing with some of our own, and have even started to design our very own toys that we will make on Monday.
Have a look at some of our super designs. We can't wait to see the finished product, and to enjoy another super week working really hard!

This week in Class 4, we have been extremely busy developing our design and technology skills. We have learnt about levers and sliders and how these mechanisms can be used to make toys. We have had a go at making toys which uses either a lever or a slider. Have a look at some of our rabbits that pop out of a magician’s hat and the cars that drives along the road.
We have started designing our own toys and next week we will be making and evaluating them. We can’t wait to see what they will look like.
