Year 1 have been solving a variety of different addition problems. They have used a variety of methods to help them including the number line, tens frames and the part whole model. 

Today Ms Stretton set Year 1 a challenge ‘How many number bonds to 10 can you find in 5 minutes?’ We had a winning pair. Well done!

In art today Class 2 were taking rubbings in our outdoor classroom. We talked about pattern and texture and began to think how we could produce a piece of art work using our rubbings. 

We have had a great time searching for mini beasts by carefully thinking about which micro-habitats they might live in. 

This week we have finished our DT projects. After spending several weeks coming up with designs, planning our designs, testing circuits and then putting it all together. 
 

We had some issues getting circuits to work but persevered, had another go, and we are really pleased with the outcomes.

We spent some time outside gardening today, enjoying the fresh air, chatting and keeping active: all part of day to day life at school and to help with our work on mental health this week. We even learnt about Green manure and it’s use for making the soil in our raised beds richer.

Our Year 1 children are working in pairs to match words and pictures in their phonics session. Today they are looking at the ‘ar’ sound. 

Highlight of our week was definitely out MAT Egyptian Day at Richard Crosse.

We had lots of fun learning about pyramids, mummification, food, religion and so much more.

We all mixed well with the other schools, some saw old friends, some made new friends.

A fantastic day all round.

This week we have read the story Burglar Bill by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. We make predictions about what was inside Burglar Bills’s Big Brown Box. We also built Burglar Bill’s ‘big, tall house’ out of Duplo. We hope you enjoy looking at our pictures. ☺️
 

This week in maths our Year 1 children have been looking at number bonds within and to 10. They have used a variety of resources including the part whole model to support their learning. 

In English we have been basing our writing on the story Pumpkin Soup. Today we writing questions that we would like to ask the duck. One of the children then played the character of the duck and the children asked him their questions. He answered them brilliantly! 

In maths our Year 2 children have been looking at addition facts . Today they are using the tens frames to find all the number bonds to 10.
