Enjoy your week!

Another busy and brilliant week in Willow Class 🤩

This week we have been developing our sentence writing using the "I can see . . . " sentence starter. The children have been trying so hard to remember to leave finger spaces between each word and a full stop at the end of the sentence.

Our story focus for Drawing Club this week was "Oi Frog!" We have enjoyed the rhyming words, exploring the characters, and creating adventures for them in our drawing and writing.

We have continued to develop our understanding of the life cycle of a frog 🐸 The children have observed how the tadpoles have grown and changed this week - the tadpoles have now got back legs!

In Maths, we have been looking at Doubles by looking at two identical groups of objects. We have been spotting doubles on patterns by identifying if they are equal.

What a week—and what lovely weather we’ve had too! We have enjoyed welcoming Mrs Cox into our class, and she will be working with us on Tuesdays and Fridays.

In science this week, we have been learning about microhabitats. We spent time outside in the forest on a mini beast hunt, exploring four different microhabitats: under logs, leaf litter, grass, and soil. The children really enjoyed working in pairs, investigating, and using the iPads to take photos.

We also had our first session with the LFC coach this week, and we have continued to enjoy our gymnastics sessions with Mrs Crook.

In English, we have read more of The Last Wolf and discovered what is behind the door in the woods. We then discussed the character of the wolf and how he is different from other wolves in stories we have previously read.

Another animal-themed week linked to our story 'The last Wolf'. Children have listened to the stories of 'The Three Little Pigs' and 'Little Red Riding Hood' to help them relate to wolves in other stories.

We have searched for animals in the sand, made houses like the pigs and made turtley awesome turtles! This week we will be further exploring animal habitats through sensory play and matching and rescuing different animals.

Three of our older pupils have been progressing really well with transition to the next class, increasing their time spent with Sycamore Class by doing P.E. and having story time with their KS2 friends each day, as well as spending some of Tuesday afternoon with them. We are so proud of them!

We have had a busy week in Larch class.

In English this week, we have been describing the places that the girl visited in our story. Journey by Aaron Becker. We have been adding extra details to our descriptions using both expanded noun phrases and prepositional phrases.

In Maths, we have been continuing our work on multiplication and division. We have been continuing our work on the six times tables and using our knowledge to help us answer word problems.

On Tuesdays, some children have continued their swimming lessons. The children who are staying in school have been doing football with a coach from LFC. They enjoyed games like football golf and football rounders.

We have also started an oracy project. We are creating our own plays to be performed by actors at The Grange school. This week we have had fun creating our own characters and the setting for our plays as well as discussing what might happen.

Another wonderful week for Oak class! We had a session on first aid-as you can see from our pictures we had a great time using various medical equipment to practise what we would do if someone was hurt.

Another big part of our week was our art! We spent 2 days becoming architects and learning about 2 famous architects renowned for their unusual designs- Zaha Hadid and Freidensreich Hundertwasser- and copied their style and then created our own style and had a go at designing a new town hall for Runcorn.

What a lovely, sunny week we have had!

Sycamore Class have enjoyed spending their choosing time outside using the play equipment, developing their gross motor skills in the process.

In our wider curriculum lessons, we have been engaging in science. Year 3 and 4 have been learning about plants, while Year 5 and 6 have been focusing on classification.

We have also welcomed Miss Smith into our classroom on Thursdays. She will be working with the children each week as PPA cover. This week, we have focused on building relationships and getting to know one another.

Another amazing week in afterschool club.

Monday this week the children worked together and created their own large paper robots. We also made some amazing Earth seed bombs that the children took home to plant once dried. We ended our session with some brain break activities on youtube.

For our 'Tasty Tuesday' this week it landed on 'National Tea Day' so the children all did some tea tasting of many different fruit and herbal teas. Some were enjoyed, some not so much, but great fun all round.

Wednesday this week was 'Earth Day'. The children made pictures of the earth and wrote promises underneath on how we will work to look after it. We were also very kindly gifted a large hot wheels track that the children have been loving!

Thursday was 'St Georges day'. For this we worked out the children's very own coat of arms for their surnames and gave explanations of their meanings. We also put out some shield templates so the children could design their very own coat of arms. We also got outside to enjoy the beautiful weather, the children enjoyed playing with hula hoops and footballs. We also had a picnic snack of sandwiches, fruit and tortilla crisps.

For Fridays movie night we only watched a short film, 'The bad guys' as we wanted to get back outside again and enjoy the weather some more. We had hot dogs for snack and then went up to the big field to enjoy the sun.
