This half term the children in Class 5 have been learning all about SPACE. This week we brought all of our learning together to create our learning journey wall. We realised just how much learning we had done over just a few weeks. The children really enjoyed recalling facts about the Space Race with the different animals going into space, as well as the amount they could remember about the Moon Landing. The children have worked so hard on this topic in school but also at home when they made their fantastic space rockets and accessories.

This week Class 2 have been venturing into space and joining Baby Bear on his adventure to the moon in the book Whatever Next by Jill Murphy. We chose where we would like to fly to in our cardboard box rocket and had a big discussion into postcards. The children have spent the rest of the week making lots of postcards in the writing area!
In maths we have been doing great learning about 4 sided shapes. We have looked for rectangles and squares in the environment and created shape pictures.
Nativity rehearsals are in full swing and Class 2 has some fantastic actors and actresses!!

The children in LB2 have all joined in with their remote learning whilst the class is self isolating. They have shown their parents how good they are at reading their books at home and making and writing words.

I have been really impressed with this weeks home learning when I have called home to the parents of the pupils in my class. William has been looking at the numbers 1 and 2 on the hand blender at home with Mum (maths focus was number recognition) and has he enjoyed picture and colour matching from his practical pack sent home. Ismaeel and Zidan have also enjoyed the colour matching activity sent home. Isa has been playing with more open ended objects such as a plastic box and bubbles and Zaydan has been singing along to the nursery rhyme ‘Miss Polly’ which was our focus rhyme this week :)

This week, in Maths, the children have worked incredibly hard revising money. They have established the links between addition and subtraction and they have also dveloped their fluency with the column method of calculations.
In English the children have been writing setting descriptions and they have also written in the first person, imagining that they are the sword from The Sword in the Stone.

This week Class 1 have been venturing into space and joking Baby Bear on his adventure to the moon in the book Whatever Next by Jill Murphy. We chose where we would like to fly to in our cardboard box rocket - the most popular choices were Blackpool and Mars. We built our own rocket outside and blasted off on an adventure.

This week, C4 have been excited to explore 3D shapes. Not only have they been able to name the shapes but they have been on a shape hunt, trying to find 3D objects around the classroom. It would be fantastic if they now went on a 3D shape hunt at home.
We were amazed by the way in which the children worked together to create their own 3D shapes using plasticine and toothpicks. It wasn’t a task to be rushed. Those that took their time, worked well with their partners and created their shapes using small steps, where successful in building their pyramids and cuboids.

Class 3 are so excited to be taking part in the linking project with one of our local schools, Mayfield primary. This week class 3 got the opportunity to learn a little bit more about their linking class and create some super learning to send them.
We first read the gorgeous story 'Incredible You' and thought about all of the reasons why are are so special and amazing in our own unique way. Then, we created some beautiful rainbow art work based on the story.
These stunning pieces of learning will be sent over to our linking class at Mayfield school to allow the children to learn a little bit more about our class.
Take a look at some of our art work below!

This half term the children have been learning all about habitats and in particular microhabitats. Last week they made their own bug boxes for the minibeasts in our playground. They worked in groups to collect a mixture of natural materials and other resources they thought would attract bugs. Then they set up the homes in shoesboxes. They used leaves, sticks, grass, rocks, straws, plastic bottles and fruit. The habitats were completed by the children drawing their own minibeasts and adding them to the shoeboxes. Finally they placed the boxes in our playground and now have the job of monitoring them each playtime to see if any real minibeasts move in.

Class 8 have been scientists today. We were trying to work out which material would be the best to make curtains for a Stone Age cave. We made predictions and then used the data loggers to measure the amount of light getting through the materials. Here are some photos of us in action.
