Tuesday this week, we celebrated 'National Cartoonist day'. We set out an activity of blank comic book strips and all of the children worked really hard for the whole session to create an amazing comic strip! The children also really enjoyed playing outside on the Key Stage 1 playground playing restaurants using the mud kitchen to create pretend dishes and used foam blocks as pizza/delivery boxes. We had a-lot of fun!

Wednesday this week we did junk modelling, a firm favourite of the activities we do with the children. They put together some wonderful creations and all played a cat game together at the end of the session.

Thursday we spent the majority of the afternoon outside. We played with fresh flowers with some of the children made small bouquets to take home. The children also enjoyed a game of shop where they all set up little shops in pairs across the playground.

Friday,  our film this week was 'Swapped' and  we enjoyed some delicious hot dogs and biscuits. The children all played together in small groups. Some played hotels, some played lego and some played princesses. It was a lovely end to the week.

Another super week for Sycamore pupils!

We have thoroughly enjoyed spending time outdoors in the sunshine this week. The sand tray has been a huge success, with children working brilliantly together to build imaginative sandcastles and collaborate so positively with one another.

In English, we have been learning about speech sandwiches and practising how to use inverted commas accurately within our writing.

On Tuesday, we also had a fantastic time joining Cedar Class to learn all about David Attenborough ahead of his 100th birthday celebrations!

A great week in Oak class! We continued with our football on Tuesday, and our tag rugby on Wednesday-we also have great weather for it!

Our writing was based around writing a diary entry as the main character of our pathways book-The Paperbag Prince- and including how we are feeling and what we are seeing using colons and semi-colons.

We took part in a live assembly celebrating the 100th Birthday of David Attenborough-we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Finally, good luck to our Year 6s as they will be sitting their SATs 11-14th May! You can do it!

This week in Larch class, we have been continuing our work on our times tables in maths. We have used our knowledge of the 10 times tables to help us answer word problems about the 9 times tables by looking at the relationship between them.

In English, we have been looking at how to use description to set the mood. As our book is a wordless picture book, we have been discussing how the author has used colour to express the mood. We have been using expanded noun phrases to describe the settings and discuss how the girl was feeling.

In Science, we have been continuing our work on plants. We have been learning about flowers and the life cycle of a plant. We discussed each stage of a plants life as well as pollination.

In PE, some children have been continuing their swimming lessons. They come back each week proud of their achievements. The children who stay in school have been continuing their football lessons with LFC foundation. They have been practicing their passing and dribbling, and finished the session with a mini match.

Cedar Class have had lots of fun in the sun this week with lots of water and sand play, developing those fine motor skills as well as meeting their sensory play needs.

We've had the musical instruments out as well, experimenting with the different sounds that each one makes. We all seem to especially enjoy the triangle!

Some of our Year 2s enjoyed making cards for Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday with Mrs. Davies as well as joining in with football skills sessions with Liverpool football club.

In Maths we have been focusing on our number bonds to 10 using Numicon, counters and number blocks, while we have almost finished the story of 'The Last Wolf' in our English lessons.

With only 2 more weeks of school left before the Whit week holidays, let's hope that the weather stays nice!

We have been busy creating, investigating, planting, learning and getting active this week!

We have continued our history this week and learning about how William the Conqueror ruled England. We discussed how he was the one who made new laws and was in charge of the country - unlike the monarchy today. We looked at how he wanted to protect his army with motte and bailey castles and stone keep castles. We discussed their features and compared them.

We had another great trip to the fire station community garden where we planted some beetroot, red onions, spring onions and dwarf runner beans. HUGE thank you to all of our helpers who joined us to walk us there and back safely.

We continued to enjoy our PE lessons this week- football with our LFC coach and also gymnastics with Mrs Crook.

We have had such a lovely week in Willow Class.

In our Drawing Club, we have been reading 'Jack and the Beanstalk.' The children enjoyed joining in with the repeated refrains in the story and using our story telling voices. We have been drawing and writing about the characters and setting from the story.

Linked to the story, 'Jack and the Beanstalk,' we have been learning about the life cycle of a bean 🫘 🫛 We have planted our own magic bean and we hope it grows as big as the beanstalk in the story! Teh children enjoyed creating their own castle for the beanstalks to grow up! 🫘🫛🌺

We are continuing to take care of, and observe the growth of our sunflowers 🌻 Some of them have grown faster than others 🌻

In our Maths, we have been consolidating our knowledge of doubling. We have been using Numicon and doubling the Numicon pieces. We have also been doubling the spots on ladybirds 🐞

We finished our week by exploring the work of Sir David Attenborough and celebrating his 100th Birthday 🥳 We are going to continue this into next week.

To our amazing Year 6 pupils, Good luck as you head into SATs week! You've all worked so hard, and now it's your time to shine. Remember, these tests are just one small part of your amazing journey—and they don't measure all the creativity, kindness, and determination that make you who you are.
