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.

Children in Year 4 have kick started their writing journey on an explanation text on the digestive system. Today, they explored High Level Vocabulary to apply in their writing.

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.

Year 1 have been mapping their local area this week. They used maps of Wolverhampton and Whitmore Reans to create their own map and then added symbols to show landmarks and key features

Y5 enjoyed using hot seating to help explore how Oliver Twist felt writing a letter to Mr Bumble to try and persuade him to treat the orphans better.

Year 1 have had a busy week, developing their ideas before they write about the story The Little Red Elf. The children have created their own story planning maps, developed actions for the story and used freeze frame drama techniques to understand what the characters are doing and feeling.

In Year 1 science this week, the children were challenged to order sounds from loudest to quietest before considering how they might group different animals. The children worked collaboratively at first, as a whole class, before working with their partners to decide their own sorting criteria's.

Geography this week in Year 1, has been focussed on maps. In their first task the children were challenged to match map symbols with pictures, before mapping our own school. The children used simple map symbols to show parking, footpaths, entrances and trees on the school grounds.

Year 1 have completed their alternative Handa's Surprise stories this week. They worked hard to make changes to the animals, fruits and vegetables that we would have in this country. They were also able to use adjectives effectively to describe the animals and fruits and bring a clear picture to the readers minds. The children also then rehearsed and performed their sentences to the class!

Y5 have produced some fabulous reports on the circus including using our new writing skill of parenthesis. Well done everyone :)

Y5 have enjoyed researching and learning about levers, pulleys and gears in science today.

Children in year 4 had a fun and engaging day during their trip to Bosworth. They met a Roman soldier and Boudicca, explored real and replica Roman artefacts and used clay to create their own Roman coins. It was a fantastic opportunity to build on our history learning and experience the Roman period first hand.

Year 4 showed fantastic curiosity in their very first Digestive System lesson where they explored the journey of food from the mouth to the intestines through a hands-on investigation.
