This week in Silver Class has been full of excitement and discovery! We’ve been exploring the wonders of nature and chatting about all the different types of weather we’ve been experiencing. In Literacy, the children had great fun creating their own acrostic poems inspired by the frosty, icy days and their creativity really shone through.

In Maths, we’ve been practising counting to 50, and the children have shown fantastic enthusiasm and their confidence using BaseTen has improved. Our Science lessons were especially lively as we investigated solids, liquids, and gases. The children loved taking part in our experiment. We expressed our artistic side by painting beautiful nature‑inspired artwork, using our outdoor observations as inspiration and have enjoyed building on our social and emotional confidence and our problem solving skills by playing games such as Uno and Dobble.

This week in Silver Class, we have been fully immersed in Life Skills Week, and the children have shown fantastic teamwork and enthusiasm throughout. Our main focus has been preparing for Cafè Silver and the class worked together brilliantly to plan every step.

We began by deciding on our menu as a group, sharing ideas and making choices together. The children then wrote their own shopping lists for the ingredients we needed and took a trip to Aldi, where they practised real‑life skills such as locating items and handling money.

In Literacy, we created invitations for Café Silver, which the children proudly delivered to adults and pupils across the school. In Maths, we explored different coin values and practised ordering coins to support our understanding of money in a practical context.

We also enjoyed a sensory baking day, where the class helped make all the treats for our café -measuring, mixing, tasting, and working together. At bikes, we focused on road safety, using traffic signs to strengthen our understanding of how to stay safe when riding.

It has been a busy, hands‑on, and exciting week, and Silver Class have shown wonderful independence and teamwork throughout.

Cafè Silver was a success and everyone in Silver Class should be very proud of themselves! On Friday afternoon, we went on a community walk to the park and had lots of fun!

This week in Silver Class we have enjoyed plenty of phonics and reading, including a wonderful phonics afternoon on Thursday where the children and parents took part in a range of engaging activities.

In Literacy, we have been focusing on The Little Red Hen. The children loved retelling the story using their own handmade puppets, getting ready to begin writing their very own stories.

In Maths, our learning has centred on subtracting from two‑digit numbers, and the children have been working very hard to build their confidence in maths.

Our Topic work has taken us on a journey through food such as where it comes from, how we get it, and how food today compares with food in the past.

In Art, the children created vibrant fruit pictures using a variety of materials, showing great creativity. We have also enjoyed singing our favourite songs and experimenting with sound patterns on the chime bars.

A highlight of the week was our sensory baking session, where we made our very own bread and of course, the best part was tasting it together at snack time.

This week in Literacy, the children revisited our Little Red Hen story. They chose a product for the characters to make and practised writing lists and simple instructions, ready to follow them during our sensory baking session later in the week.

In Maths, we explored different types of measurement and enjoyed taking our learning outdoors by measuring equipment in the sensory playground.

We also took inspiration from Andy Goldsworthy and created our own natural artwork on the playground using materials we collected from the environment.

In Literacy this week, we’ve been busy little writers! The children created invitations for our upcoming Café Silver on the 13th of February. We also became time travelling food explorers, diving into menus from the 1940s, 1980s and 2020s to design the tastiest menu for our event.

In Maths, things got splashy as we explored capacity using water. The children practised using phrases like ‘more than’ and ‘less than’ while comparing containers. We also made our own sensory bags, linking beautifully to our Science topic on solids, liquids and gases. It was squishy, squelchy, and very fun.

In Music, we turned into mini musicians, experimenting with chime bars and working together to learn Golden from K-pop Demon Hunters. The classroom has been full of rhythm, teamwork and big smiles.

In Art this week, we rolled up our sleeves and got wonderfully messy as we began creating decorations for Café Silver using paper maché and our classroom definitely looked like a creative whirlwind had passed through.

On Thursday afternoon, we hopped on the bus to Skelmersdale Library. We explored a range of ‘Books that take us Places’ to spark our imaginations and get us ready for our brand new topic next half term. The children were brilliant explorers, discovering stories that whisked them off to all sorts of places.
