This week we have been learning the ‘oo’ digraph.  We built ‘oo’ words, practised our formation, made books, used wool to make art work and built kitchens to cook food in…

We have been continuing to look at number patterns.  This week we have looked at counting by 5 and started investigating the 5 times table…

We loved playing along to songs with the Boomwhackers this week…

The river was a little deep this week to go river dipping but we did some Wildlife Ispy and spotting different plants and minibeasts…

This week we watched some ballet dancers on YouTube and then we had a go ourselves. Look at our pointy toes, elegant arms and strong partnerships.

This week we have been learning the ‘ee’ digraph. We painted sheep, drew trees, built streets and worked in coffee shops. We also wrote our dictation sentence on a whiteboard. We tried really hard to use our sounds to help us spell the words correctly and remember our capital letters, full stop and finger spaces.

In numeracy, we have continued investigating counting by 10s and even started looking at the 10 times table…

We had great fun at our Party in the Park! We worked so hard to reach 5000 dojo points! The sun was shining and the ice lollies were delicious!

It was also Walk to School week. It was great to see so many children taking part. We loved the odd socks and crazy hair!!

Spelling homework is all about the ‘ee’ digraph. Please complete and return by Friday 23rd May.

I want to start by saying a big thank you for taking the time to help everyone prepare for their Big Talks this week. They were absolutely fantastic! We love listening to all the animal facts and the children were so confident when presenting to the class. Well done!

In numeracy, we have been learning about number patterns. We have looked at counting in 2s. We even started looking at the 2 times table and how it was made. We’ve also practised addition calculations using spinners.

We’ve had lots of fun outside this week, enjoying the lovely weather. We had two transitions visits from the ECC and we enjoyed showing them all the activities we enjoy outdoors.

We also started our new topic, Living Things. We joined the P6s to learn about bees and hedgehogs. We will continue this next week 🐝🦔

We continued our work on measure this week. We made long creatures, used balances to compare weights, made tall and short towers and used measuring bottles to find out how many cups could be filled with water.
