This week, we have learnt a new skill in numeracy! We have been learning to round to the nearest 10 and nearest 100. Sometimes it can be tricky to know whether to round up or down so we use the rule ‘four to the floor, five to the sky.’  

Miss Sowden set us a challenge to see if we could make a submarine out of empty plastic bottles! We tried lots of different things to help them sink, but all of them floated! The videos are on our seesaw page!

We had Arts Week a couple of weeks ago, where we talked about how our green behaviours can link into taking care of our world! We then designed a poster to remind people about this! Evie, Leo and Alisha’s were chosen as the top three posters with Evie’s winning the final class vote! It was…

It was Careers Day today and we could dress up for the job we would like to have as an adult! We had lots of doctors, YouTubers, teachers and hairdressers, along with an author, a couple of vets and a scientist! We made identity badges, talked about talents and designed an award for a partner!…

As it was such a lovely day today, we took our maths outside! We have been learning about direction, turns and angles. We drew a compass using chalk on the ground and practised quarter, half, three quarter and full turns. We also made decisions about whether we were going clockwise or anti-clockwise and how many…

It’s a dog eat dog world in nature, or a dolphin eat squid world! We researched different sea animals and found out what they eat! We put this research to good use and made food chains! We were amazed at what different animals liked to snack on.

We are starting to look at time telling this week in our class! We have started with recapping previous learning and checking we know o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to! We used the clocks to show different times, took photos and labelled them! We have to make sure we have the hands the…

We worked on a number activity called Frog jumps! We worked in partners and used counters to show where the frogs landed, then we started to solve some problems using this! We also did a fun number Kahoot quiz! Well done to Evie, Maisie and Bobby who were on the podium at the end! ?

We will be writing play scripts this half term so to help us, we had a go at performing a short section of a play in groups! We have also looked at how to lay out a play script and next we will think about how to use stage directions.  

We worked in groups today to generate lots of vocabulary linked to superheroes!  We are reading Cartoon Kid and used this and what we already know to collect words and phrases, and presented our group work to the class.  Wham-bam, jelly and jam!
