The highlight of this week has been Sports day! The class took part in 4 events- running, egg and spoon (with a twist), javelin and a dressing up race. We had a wonderful time in the sunshine and fun was had by all.

Our maths this week has been negative numbers-ordering, counting and addition/subtraction with them. It has been quite tricky!

We have started learning about the Sikh Empire in our history, and how it was formed-a fascinating subject that we may not know too much about to begin with.

We have had a lovely week in Sycamore!

Well done to everyone that took part in our KS2 sports day on Wednesday. We all had a great time getting involved in the races and I am so proud of everyone's efforts to 'have a go' despite feeling a little nervous. Everyone was very excited to receive their medals at the end of the event!

In our afternoon lessons this week, we have been focussing on recapping some science learning. Children have been investigating whether there is a relationship between the viscosity of a liquid and how fast it flows.

In English, we have continued to developed a rich and varied vocabulary through exploring our book, Ziraffa Giraffa. We have learnt lots of new facts about giraffes - come and ask us some questions about them!

What a fantastic week we have had in Larch Class this week - the highlight, obviously, being Sports Day, where the children participated in a range of events. I hope those that attended agree that the children did terrific and it was a huge success. A huge well done to all those that participated and a massive congratulations to the winners.

Elsewhere, we have continued our writing journey up from the wide plains of Sudan, up the River Nile, and across the Mediterranean to France, to begin our journeys up from Marseille to Paris with Zeraffa. The children have shown wonderful engagement and have continued to produce a good quality of writing.

In Maths, we have been exploring geometry and the children have shown great understanding of identifying angles.

This week in Cedar Class, we have finished our Supertato book and used this to create some fabulous sentences about what we can see the characters doing and what objects are in the picture!

We have been checking on how our bean plants are growing and practising putting together life cycles for plants, along with labelling the different parts.

We have enjoyed nursery rhymes to practise counting back and subtraction, as well as enjoying lots of water play to practise our language and fine motor skills, plus it keep us cool!

Hopefully we will be able to host our own special sports afternoon with our children and parents, week commencing 6th July.

Another lovely week in Willow Class.

We were very glad to discover that Supertato had rescued all of the trapped veggies! We have been enjoying reading his story that he left for us and wondering what else these vegetables will get upto!

In Maths we have been focusing on our counting skills up to 20 and beyond. We have been using our magic counting finger to use 1 to 1 correspondence when counting.

We have been reading our Red Words and the children know so many of them! Being able to read these words, really does help us to become fluent readers.

In our Understanding the Word, we have continued to explore maps.

We have been continuing to improve our writing this week, writing about the ending of our book ‘Goldilocks and Just The One Bear’ from the point of view from Goldilocks’ pet cat who saw it all unfold. 🐈 🥣 🐻

In maths, year 1 and year 2 recapped their place value knowledge. Year 1 looked in depth at teen numbers, how they are made up of 10 ‘and a bit more’ and where they fall on a number line. Year 2 recalled numbers 0-100, how they are made of different tens and ones and how they compare to one another. 🧮

We have been enjoying doing athletics in PE. This week we have been doing relay races and practising the technique for jumping. We made sure that we had bent knees and used our arms to propel us forward! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

We had some very special visitors on Thursday afternoon who did a ‘milk and mammals’ workshop for us 🥛 🦓 🐋 🐶 We

learned all about what mammals are and how they feed their young. This linked to previous science and PSHE units on growing.
