What we have been learning this week ...
Nursery:
This week's nursery rhyme has been 'Row, Row, Row your Boat'. The children have enjoyed acting out the rhyme with a friend, rowing down the stream. We have continued with our topic of SORTING in Maths, making rules for different groups of objects of toys and natural materials and the children have really enjoyed doing this! Wishing you all a lovely half term.
Reception
This week has been Diwali week in Reception and we have had lots of fun! We have learnt about Rama and Sita which helped us understand the true meaning of Diwali. We've been looking at Rangoli patterns and had a go at creating our own using different coloured rice. We also explored a Diwali dance and had a go at it too!!
Year 1:
Year 1 have had an exciting week of learning. In Maths, the children have been working incredibly hard to recall their number bonds to 10, using different objects and numbers to see how they make a total of 10. For English, we delved into the wonderful story of 'Winnie the Pooh Meets the King'. The class wrote their own sentences about the royal adventure, making a great effort to remember to use capital letters and full stops. We also had a fantastic forest school session on Friday, spending the day outside to explore and learn.
Year 2:
Year 2 have been working very hard this week. We are super impressed at the resilience of the children during assessment week. In DT we have been looking at sliders and moving parts and we have created a moving Artic picture. Roles have been given out this week for our Nativity - can you please start practising if your child has a speaking part.
We ended the week with a great Forest School day! Have a wonderful half term!
Year 3:
We have had a brilliant week in Year 3! We have been subtracting 10s across a 100 in Maths using practical equipment, number lines and written methods. We finally finished our book in our reading lessons. We loved reading about Plop's adventures and watching him grow in confidence as the book progressed. We then designed our own front covers for the book. It has been DT project week and we had great fun designing and making our own space helmets. We finished our week with Forest School Day! It was so much fun and we especially loved the treasure hunt! We hope you all have a wonderful half term!
