I can’t believe we’re already at half term, the last seven weeks seems to have flown by! The children have been working hard over this half term and it’s been lovely getting to know them. They’ve particularly enjoyed their new leadership responsibilities of Buddies to Reception and Play leaders to KS1.
Today we had our Harvest festival and we came together as a whole school to celebrate this. Thank you once again for your generous contributions to our Harvest collection, it’s' very much appreciated. The tins of food (over 400 tins) will be going to a local food bank for people within the community, which I’m sure you’ll agree is a worthy cause. Thank you for your support!
Our learning this week…
In English the children have built on their story plans and have written their own episode in the style of Jeremy Strong.
In Maths the focus has been on placing numbers on number lines of different scales up to one million.
In Science we have used and created mnemonics to help us remember the order of the planets in our solar system and have identified how they move in relation to the sun.
In geography we continued to use absolute location by reading the lines of latitude and longitude on maps. The children identified countries on World maps using lines of latitude and longitude.
In PE the children had their last session working on developing their leadership skills and have continued to work on adapting games that they can lead when playing with their buddies and KS1.
