Some Year 1 and 2 girls walked to Goals to take part in a girls football tournament. They played lots of different games to develop their football skills. It was very impressive to see how the improved over the morning.
As part of their work in DT, the Year One children recently enjoyed exploring how pictures work with sliders and levers. They then produced their own space themed picture with moving parts.
In Reception we have been very creative this week drawing pictures of people on the interactive white board and using magnetic dolls clothes to draw a range of people.
Year 1 and year 2 celebrated their achievement assembly today. The children shared achievements which included helping out friends when they are sad; being resilient in maths; behaving brilliantly on school trips and using fabulous adjectives when writing a story setting.
The children celebrated with their visitors. We are all very proud of their achievements.
We have been looking for signs of Spring. Look at the lovely photos we took. We also used our map skills to help us find the areas within the school to plot what we found.
What a great way to end the first week back with an Achievement Assembly. Children in Year R and Year 1 received certificates this morning. It was great to hear all of their achievement – there were lots today about being kind friends and being helpful. We are very proud of all of the children’s achievements.
We visited the farm this week. We got to feed the pigs, cow, ducks and goats. We had a great time!
Just before the Easter break, Year Two began designing a healthy wrap. They practised cutting skills and evaluated ingredients by carrying out taste tests. Many children were brave and tried new foods for the first time, including radish!.
During the first week after Easter, we finally got to make our wraps. Following expert demonstrations from grown ups, everyone followed their design plan and made the wrap of their choice. They then had the chance to eat and evaluate their own creations. The children also designed and created wrap packaging. As you can see from the pictures, everyone seemed to enjoy eating what they had made. Rumours are rife that Harpers Sandwich Bar are interested in some of the recipes.
We have continued to read the story of Jack and the Beanstalk in Year R and set ourselves a challenge in maths, to make the tallest beanstalk in 1 minute. We had to think about what was the most suitable building materials to use and then we talked about height using mathematical vocabulary. We also used some of the ‘magic beans’ to create pictures and tried to include a repeating pattern in our work.
The Year R classes have been reading he story of Jack and the Beanstalk. They planted their own ‘magic beans’ and talked about what they would need to make them grow. Look out for the pictures in the weeks to come to see how they are growing. Hopefully not too high as we really don’t want
There have been a lot of Achievement Assemblies this term! Once again we enjoyed celebrating the achievements of Year R and Year 2. The children shared what they have been up to – beautiful singing, being a good friend, working hard on reading and being a resilient learner. We celebrated with juice and a biscuit before starting our learning day.
This week in maths we are exploring composition. In our provision and adult led time, we have been exploring patterns. We have been learning to copy, continue and create our own repeating patterns around a shape. Can you identify the unit of repeat?
