The children have thoroughly enjoyed using the Beebots and Codapillars to explore the basics of coding and to experiment with different ways of solving problems. They loved playing the roles of Beebot and programmer, taking turns in directing their friends to different destinations in the playground.
It was Lots of Socks day on Thursday and the children enjoyed showing off their socks of different colours and patterns. We children learned that The Lots Of Socks campaign exists to raise awareness of Down syndrome and designed their own Happy Lots of Socks Day cards.
Wk 4 - w/c 11/03/24
WORLD BOOK DAY 2024!
WORLD BOOK DAY - 7th March 2024
This year our book focus has been 'We are Here' by Oliver Jeffers. We enjoyed reading the story and completed our own book reviews. The verdict: 5/5 stars! We later picked our favourite artwork from the book and have enjoyed working in pairs to re-create our own illustrations of Earth in its different forms.
We also wrote character descriptions of our favourite book character and enjoyed 'Stop. Drop. Read' with the different adults in class.
We had a fabulous day!
Wk 3 - w/c 05/03/24
This week in maths the children have been sharing objects into equal groups as part of our division topics.
We have been learning to keep our bodies healthy. We have learnt about different exercises, keeping clean and different food groups! Did you know you need to drink between 6-8 glasses of water and get at least 8-10 hours sleep every day too? All of these things keep our mind and bodies healthy.
Wk 2 - w/c 26/02/24
The children have been busy practising their 2,5 and 10 times tables with these supermover's songs!
Spring 2, wk 2 - W/C 26/02/24
A HUGE THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!!
We have been blown away by the generosity of our fabulous families!
Thank you!
Wet Playtimes...
It has been wet and miserable outside but that hasn't stopped our fun-loving children enjoying themselves!
Some people say it's like a zoo in our class...and they'd be right! The children have really enjoyed our new song 'Zootime' and have been making animal actions to find the pulse of the song.
Fantastic Spelling and Recounts
The literacy group love challenging themselves to see how many stars in a row they can achieve in 5 minutes. This week all the class have completed an assessed piece of writing and have really impressed their teachers!
