We are listening carefully to our partner to help improve our skills in PE.

This term we are looking at subtracting tens and units.We have been working in small groups. Here we are learning how to exchange a ten into units.

2 children  use Numicon to demonstrate the sum , whilst the third member of the group writes the sum down.

We have been helping our friends learn their number stories. Being able to recall them quickly is REALLY useful when adding and subtracting.

Our Fit 15 activities help us wake our brains up and focus more on our learning. Sometimes we walk, whilst at other times we enjoy active songs or dancing in class.

We like the penguin song!

We enjoyed continuing our writing project with Vivian French and listening to Vivian reading one of her own stories. She has given us great ideas for our writing.

We have been busy creating pastel pictures of people who are special to us

We were very lucky to have Mrs Lange, who is also an artist , show us how to use pastels effectively. We are very pleased with our results and look forward to combining them with writing when we meet Vivian French again.

We made our own prayer wreaths with our own thank you or please prayers.

We learned about why we wear poppies and made our own poppy wreath.

We listened to a story about a girl called Poppy who was also learning about remembrance day.

Many, many thanks to all who have commented on our blog. Some messages have been missed as they had been directed into the spam file and I had missed them.However they have now been retrieved and replied to. I have learned something new and will continue to check less obvious places for comments.

So many festivals this term…..

On Friday we learned about the origins of Bonfire Night. We heard the story of Guy Fawkes and decided to help King James find Guy by designing a poster to help capture him. Guy was captured and we learned why we now have fireworks on November 5th.

We then listened to some firework music and used it  inspiration to draw the fireworks that we imagined as we listened to the music.

Finally we selected instruments to make our own firework

music and mimed being fireworks.
