"The children have been using natural resources to represent numbers between 10 and 20."

 

 

Week 2

This week, we have been finding out all about birds.  Working in groups, we went bird spotting, identified what berries, seeds and trees are around to feed and protect birds during winter, pretended to be birds, crafting nests from natural materials and then made our own bird feeder to take home.  We hung up some by our school pond too.  We didn't like the smell of the lard but we were amazed by how quickly the birds came to feast.

Week 3

This week, we went to Brockhill Country Park.  We split up into groups and used GPS trackers to help find Geocaches.  We then warmed up toasting scrummy marshmallows on the fire.

 

Week 4

This week, the children made story sticks using a life skill of tying and making knots.  They then used their sticks to help create stories.  While some children were working on their tying, others made habitats for their pet stones.  Interestingly for some children, being in a place safe from predators was most important while for others having comforts such as a TV or a sofa was.  A few children then went to look around the grounds for signs of badgers or foxes, while others used our spotters to begin learning how to identify clouds. Some boys made a "secret" tunnel through some hedges and trees at the back of the field, pretending to be Explorers similar to those we have been learning about in class. 

Week 5

This week, we have been learning about our five senses so we went on a scavenger hunt to find three examples of us using each sense.  Can you guess which picture shows us using which sense?

 

Week 6

In Literacy, we are learning traditional nursery rhymes so today,the children had to create a new vehicle to replace the boat in the rhyme "Row, row, row you boat." and come up with a new verse.  Children invented all sorts including "Zoom , zoom, zoom you rockets.",  "Chug, chug, chug your tractors" and "Ride, ride, ride your horse.

 

 

Class 1 are learning about Easter. Can you guess which part of the story this is?

 

March 2025

This week, the children created Easter Gardens as part of our RE unit on Salvation.  The children had to learn how to tie knots to keep their crosses together. 

Measuring Outside

This week, we have been learning about measurement including length, height and mass. We had lots of fun measuring objects in sticks and then with rulers and trying to find objects lighter and heavier than each other. 

 

Summer Term!

This term, we are learning about trees. We have been studying the bark and size of trees and how we can use this to identify different species.
