What an eggciting week we have had in Willow Class!

On Monday we had a special delivery of 10 Living Eggs 🥚 The children were very excited to discover that these eggs would hatch into chicks 🐣 and what a special time we have had and so lucky to be able to watch them hatch 🐥 We now have 10 beautiful chicks, 5 female and 5 male.

The children have enjoyed holding the chicks and have been so gentle and careful with them. We are looking forward to having them in Willow Class for another week.

We have had a wonderful week together in Cherry Class! We have focussed on RE this week with our unit on Islam. We have learned about the 5 pillars of Islam ☪️ and focussed in on the second pillar of Salat (prayer) and the routines and rituals that Muslims follow. We enjoyed the delivery of our new story corner magazines and were excited to take them home. Year 1 have been learning about equal groups in maths whilst year 2 have been counting in halves and quarters. In Pathways, we have continued to read our new book ‘The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth’. We even found some times to enjoy our brain breaks outside in the wonderful spring weather ☀️

This week, we have had a big Science focus! We've been learning about plants, labelling their parts and searching for them in our school grounds! Some plants (trees) are much taller than us, some have flowers and some have really smelly leaves!

As well as learning about plants, Willow Class have kindly invited us to visit their tadpoles and chicks as they have been hatching, which links beautifully to our story all about Hattie Peck. Hattie is a chicken who collects abandoned eggs from all sorts of creatures so we have also been learning about what animals hatch from eggs.

In Maths, we've been practising our counting, matching and writing of numbers and objects and in English we have been putting together sentences about our own big days out just like Hattie's babies!

We have enjoyed a lovely week in class this week, relishing all of the science we have learned, exploring States of Matter. The children have had the opportunity to work scientifically, completing a range of practical experiments to develop their understanding.

In our Writing sessions, the children have used our Pathways to Write novel, The Silence Seeker, to inform their writing as they planned, wrote and edited their own diary entry based on the story. They have showed wonderful progress in their individual writing styles and many of the children are using a wide range of powerful descriptive techniques to make their work more interesting. It has been an absolute pleasure to read.

In Maths, the children were delighted to reach the end of our topic on Fractions, as we have turned our attention to exploring problems in relation to Time. The children have been learning to tell the time using both the 12-hour and 24-hour clock, converting measurements of time and multiplying intervals of time to solve problems.

In other areas of the curriculum, the children have continued to explore Samba sounds using a range of percussion instruments (Music), began looking at the Amazon rainforest and discussing biomes (Geography), began choreographing their own 32-count motifs (Dance), and developing their batting, fielding and throwing techniques (Cricket).

Another exciting week for Oak Class! Our highlight was our trip to Safety Central in Lymm to learn how to be safe in many different situations. We had a fantastic time roleplaying, acting out scenarios, seeing accidents happen , learning about how fires start and identifying potential hazards in the house.

Our maths has been data crazy- learning about Pie Charts and moving onto Line Graphs to analyse and understand data.

In our writing, we have been learning some tricky punctuation usage: colons and brackets. Year 6 have been pushing themselves using colons for further description, while Year 5 have been using brackets to add extra information. This week's writing has been based on the Moon Landings.

Our science was all based on Evolution and Inheritance, how living things can have positive characteristics passed on by their parents and how that can help them adapt to their environment.

This week, we have been looking for signs of spring. What a gorgeous time of year this is!

In our forest school session, we enjoyed exploring the school site to find signs of spring. We were able to find daffodils, blossoms, bird nests and buds on trees. The children were very excited to visit the new baby chicks in Willow Class on Friday - we all agreed that they were very cute!

In maths, we have moved onto a new topic of learning. Over the next few weeks, we will be investigating fractions. There will be lots of opportunities for practical work during this time!

We have tried something a little different with our timetable this week and this has meant that in our afternoon sessions, we have focused solely on our science topic. Children have enjoyed being able to build upon their knowledge each day, carrying out practical experiments linked to solids, liquids and gases.

We have really felt like Spring has arrived at Westfield with the addition of 10 baby chicks in Willow Class. The whole school have been fascinated by the little yellow bundles of joy. The chicks are here till Thursday, and you are welcome to pop into Willow Class at the end of the school day with your children if you want to see them.

Just to share, the School Newsletter will now be going out on a Monday. We do put events on in advance on the Newsletter and our Website, so please keep checking what is coming up.

Have a lovely week.
