Wow! What a busy week it was! On Friday, we celebrated Sport Relief by wearing sporty clothes and donating money. Thanks to all those who donated – we looked at some of the things the money may go towards and we went out and did 10 minutes of activity. Here we are playing one of…
Miss Sowden’s class enjoyed pancakes and spring sunshine in outdoor learning. The pancakes were delicious with either honey and lemon or jam and it was lovely to feel spring finally coming.
This week, we have been finishing off our DT. We have been making catapults using wood, card, foam, straws, PVA glue and tack pins. (Miss Sowden may also have helped us a little with a glue gun!) We had to measure the wood accurately, cut each piece carefully and then construct our catapults. We used…
On Friday, it was Number Day. Thank you to anyone who donated some money towards the NSPCC. Each class had the chance to visit the big numbers in our corridor and write on them why a number was important or special to them. For example, they may choose ‘2’ and say that 2 is the…
This week, we have started our unit of ‘length’. We have used this opportunity to do some practical tasks using a range of measuring equipment. We have looked at which equipment is most effective for longer or shorter distances and used both the classroom and outside spaces to practise our skills.

We are problem solving this week, thinking about giving change and adding and subtracting amounts…
