Y5 have started their new topic fractions this week. They have revised prior learning of unit fractions and how to find fractions of amounts and began to look at equivalent fractions.

Year 1 have been busy over the last 2 weeks exploring and investigating number bonds to 10 and 20. They have consolidated their knowledge of the bonds through using resources, using rhymes and noticing patterns.

Year 1 have been busy investigating leaf colour this week, as part of their topic 'Changing Seasons'. The children collected leaves, made predictions about what colours there would be in them and then tested them using water. They then also explored how colour moves and changes using felt tip pens and water on filter paper.

Year 1's PSHE day lasted us all week. The children took an in-depth look and exploration of the new 'Feelings Framework' that we are now using in school. The children worked collaboratively over the week to share their ideas and gain a greater understanding of how emotions and feelings are different, how emotions can impact our bodies and what they can do to get themselves back into the ready-learn zone. The children took part in discussions, sorting activities and shared the

We have been enjoying role play in our very own Space Station, using our imaginations as we explore Space.

We have really been inspired by this week's topic, creating 2D and 3D pieces linked to Space and aliens.

This week's topic of Space has inspired lots of imaginative play during Continuous Provision.

We have been exploring number and making 6.

On PSHE day, we introduced the children to the school’s ‘Feelings Framework’. We are learning about the names of different emotions and what our bodies look like when we feel different things.

After finding that a space ship had crashed in our playground, we explored the different parts that had been left behind. We spoke about the shape, and the feel of them and wondered what each part could be. We then went back into class and thought more about who or what the space ship belonged to.

Y5 have worked really hard this week developing their rounding whole number skills. Next week - decimals!

It was lovely to welcome parents into our classroom for today’s Year 4 Maths Parent Workshop. Thank you for taking the time to come along and support your child’s learning.

Science and the seasons! ☀️❄️🌿🍂🌻 The children have been exploring their new topic about the changes of the seasons in science this week. Today, the children have been sorting clothes to match the weather and the seasons.

In maths this week, the children have been investigating weight using balance scales. They have described objects by using the words heavier and lighter. They then recorded their ideas using the sentence stems.

Y5 have enjoyed developing their geometry skills practicing coordinates, translation and finding lines of symmetry. They also used these skills to create some lovely Christmas art!

The children have had a busy morning in class learning how to code this morning. They have used the laptops and mice to add algorithms to a programme and make the fish move.

Year 1 had a fantastic time during the Winter fun run, the bad weather outside did not dampen their spirit or energy levels!

This week in maths, the children in Year 1 have been using first, then and now stories to explore subtraction. They have used concrete resources and recording grids to support their understanding of the methods.

Year 1 have been classifying animals based on what they eat this week. They were able to identify herbivores, omnivores and carnivores.
