Such a brilliant and busy week in Willow Class.

As we prepare to return our tadpoles to the pond before they change into froglets, we have been consolidating our learning about the Life Cycle of a Frog 🐸

We have enjoyed observing our tadpoles as they have grown, and it really does have such an impact on our learning to be able to experience these opportunities first hand.

The children enjoyed making frog life cycle headbands and working through a range of frog life cycle activities. We have been sequencing the life cycle and talking about what we know about each stage of the cycle.

In Maths we have been exploring Odd and Even numbers with the help of the Numberblocks characters. We have also been developing our counting skills by counting to 20.

We have been developing our early writing by writing short sentences; using capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. The children have been trying so hard with their writing.

A wonderfully brilliant week in Cherry yet again!

The children have been working hard in Pathways to Write as we finish our book The Last Wolf! We have learnt all about why trees are so important and decided to write a letter to Sir David Attenborough to ask him for some help and to persuade him to help save the trees! 🌳 🌲

We have been working hard on our computing unit this week where we have been programming on Scratch Jnr 👩‍💻 We have enjoyed music lessons with Mrs Cox singing ‘My Bonnie lie over the ocean’, ‘Lavenders blue’ and ‘London bridge is falling down’ 🎵 🎶

Year 2 have been learning their 5 x tables in maths and linking it to the 10x tables.

Year 1 children have been working extra hard in phonics as they approach their national phonics screening check next half term.

Each week I will try to share a little taste of how we adapt our teaching to our Resource Base learners. This week there is a snapshot of our Now and Next board displayed on our TV so that our children know what is happening throughout the day.

We've had a big outdoor focus this week in all areas of the curriculum. Lots of outdoor Maths related to positions of numbers on number lines and number bonds, as well as choosing time with small world play to encourage language development and lots of big movement on scooters and bikes.

We have also finished our book 'The Last Wolf' this week which the children have loved. Don't forget that we are not here on Friday. Have a lovely half term and see you all on Monday 1st June.

This week in Larch class, we have been continuing our work on the book Journey by Aaron Becker. We have been looking at the final scene and discussing what the boy and the girl in the book might be saying to each other. We have been using inverted commas in our dialogue.

In Maths, we have been looking at different methods to answer word problems in preparation for our maths assessments.

In the afternoons, we have started our RE lessons. We have been learning about Sikhism and how Sikhs show their faith. We have been learning about the teachings of Guru Nanak and learnt about the 5Ks.

On Tuesday, a group of children continued their swimming lessons. They continue to make progress in their forwards and backwards strokes. The children who stayed in school played bench ball. They enjoyed working with different teams to develop their passing skills.

A very busy week for Oak class! The children did a fantastic job this week completing their SATs-I couldn't be prouder of how hard they all worked! We celebrated with a delicious McDonald's meal on Friday-well done to all of our Year 6s!

Other things we worked on this week was our research of landfills, and in particular how they are used in Runcorn and Widnes. We made some notes, and wrote sentences on their benefits and problems.

Finally, we continued our brilliant PE lessons-we have been working with a Liverpool youth coach on football, and we have been practising our Rugby skills on Wednesday afternoons-our passing abilities have been improving!

It’s been another great week for Sycamore Class!

In Maths, we have been plugging gaps in our understanding, focusing on missing number problems and using inverse operations to check our answers.

In English, we have begun our final writing task: creating a series of diary entries from the perspective of the little girl. The children worked collaboratively to plan their ideas before organising related thoughts into clear paragraphs.

Our afternoon sessions have also had a big focus on speaking and listening skills. Using discussion cards, pupils have been confidently sharing their ideas and opinions with one another.

Well done, everyone!

Monday this week, we did some mindful colouring of cat pictures for 'World Mental Health Week' as the children have been showing a big interest in cats at the moment. The children also really enjoyed playing with the magnets and the lego today.

Tuesday was 'International Nurses Day'. In afterschool club we made beautiful thankyou cards and wrote amazing messages inside that we will be dropping off at Halton Hospital for the nurses. As it was also 'Tasty Tuesday', we made some delicious healthy wraps using chicken or tuna with a variety of salad options. This snack always goes down really well with the children!

Wednesday, the girls loved playing with barbies and playing little games together. The boys enjoyed playing pretend minecraft games, drawing and playing with lego.

Thursday we did more things towards 'World Mental Health Week'. We had a drawing and cutting activity of 'cups of peace' that the children coloured in and added things inside that brought them joy. They also made  paper fortune tellers that the children wrote lovely messages inside.

For film night Friday we watched 'Seabeasts' and ate pizza. We also had activities out to celebrate 'World Families Day' that the children could use to decorate or draw pictures of their own families. The children also loved colouring in pictures of dumplings and playing dumpling shops. We finished our fun Friday with a dance party!
