Traditional Tales in English

In English, our focus has been the Traditional Story of Goldilocks and The Three Bears. We learnt the story map and then became text detectives to find different words within the text. We had great fun with our magnifying glasses! This all led into the end product of our own stories which included hedgehogs, dogs and even squirrels!

Balancing the seasons

Our Science work has been focusing on Seasonal Changes. To help us with this, we all made a Season mobile which included matching the seasons to the months and to the typical weather.

Stable Structures

As part of our DT work, we have been learning about Stable Structures. We had great fun making basketball hoops out of straws, masking tape and pipe cleaners. It was amazing when we made them stable and they stood up on their own.

Making Memories

Our History focus has been on our personal History. The children have all made Memory Boxes which we are going to keep in school and add to throughout the year. They have done a great job.

Timestable Rockstars Launch Day - We have had lots of fun dressed up as rock stars and learning our timestables at school today. Thank you to all families who helped children look so amazing this morning. Parents and Carers - if you haven't received it already, please look out for a letter with login details for Times Table Rockstars or Numbots (for younger children). Please encourage your children to engage in this fun and important home learning! https://ttrockstars.com/ https://numbots.com/
