This week Year 4 have begun their fractions topic in maths, we have begun to look at equivalent fractions to a half, a quarter and a third. The children used the cuisenaire rods to help them create their fraction walls to find out what fractions are the equivalent. Well done Year 4 super mathematical investigations this week!
Year 3 have been learning about what living things need. We thought about how plants make their own food.
We also looked at skeletons and learnt about the different types of bones.
This week, we enjoyed “Breakfast with Books”. Some of the parents joined us to enjoy breakfast snacks and to read some of our favourite books. What a lovely way to start the morning!
In Reception we have been exploring the past. We invited some of our family members in to school to talk about their past with us. We have really enjoyed learning about how different people grew up.
Roll up! Roll up! Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls the circus is coming to Year 6. We will be exploring how to create mood and atmosphere in the coming weeks so started off with our very own circus performance. We had an artist, a magician, a contortionist, a singer, dancers and lots lots more. We all got invited to the biggest show of the year and had such good fun.
We then created designs for our own travelling circus. We are so pleased with the results!
Last week Nursery learnt about length and we learnt new vocabulary to compare objects. We compared sticks and made snakes with cubes and we then talked about which were longer or shorter.
This week both Year 5 classes were excited to invite their adults into school to enjoy some quality reading time and some morning snacks.
Year 3 have been learning about why and how people pray. We have explored different religions including Christianity and Islam. We learnt about Muslim prayer from some of the girls in Year 3 who are practising Muslims.
We have been using different resources from the maths station to show one more and one less than a given number. We have also used a number line to jump forwards and backwards.
