We started our afternoon session in the sun today by reinforcing our previous learning on rounding numbers to the nearest ten.
After some exhausting games we all felt more confident in placing numbers correctly and rounding numbers to the nearest ten.
We then moved on to some problem solving, setting up grids to make a magic number fit in. We had to work hard together and keep going back to check our solutions. It’s so easy to make mistakes as we work, but what great learning that results in once we go back and fix them!
We started off today arranging ourselves into a pentagon and we did a brilliant job. Learning from previous weeks we identified the people who would be corners then made straight lines between them.
We then had great fun with lots of laughing as we played some concentration games building up a sequence of moves and sounds that we passed around the pentagon.
Our next job was to sort our whole class into order of birthdays….it was made easier by first sorting ourselves into months, then sorting out the dates in each month.
We took a couple of minutes to lie back and enjoy gazing at the clouds this afternoon too. It’s so interesting to watch them move and change shape.
The work we started on time last week was continued today by making our own clocks then matching digital times for quarter past, half past and quarter to the hour.
The weather was beautiful for us today for our outdoor learning session with Mrs Kelly. 🌞 We made sure we did some activities in the shade too, as it got really warm as the day went on.
We started off by searching for circles all around us before arranging ourselves into a circle around the base and learning that the distance between the centre of a circle and the side of a circle is called the radius.
Our warm up games today were all about direction and we played a few games passing a ball in a clockwise direction after remembering which hand is left and which is right. 🤲🏽
We then moved on to creating a giant clock to help us remember how far each hand moves around the clock every hour.
We played some matching games to show we know how to read the time on both analogue and digital clocks too.
What a marvellous day for our first outdoor session with Mrs Kelly. The sun shone all afternoon for us and we really enjoyed exploring the school grounds.
As well as exploring and talking lots about safety and risk assessing, we played some games to help us to think about place value using shells, rainbow sticks and cones for hundreds tens and units.
Here are some beautiful photographs of some hawthorn, holly, moss and daisies too. We can’t wait to discover more about nature in the coming weeks as we learn outside.
Today was World Book Day. We had a fantastic day celebrating our love of books. We joined a World Book Day Assembly with David Walliams, we made our own bookmarks, we listened to Harry Potter, we did some Harry Potter mindfulness colouring, we solved word searches, we designed and created our own comics, and we tried to guess which of our Senior Management Team were the Masked Readers of the stories we listened to! Some of us dressed up, too.
We have been learning about our Solar System this week. We learned that the sun is a star at the centre of our solar system. The 8 planets, including Earth, revolve around it. The moon revolves around Earth each 27.3 days. We learned about day and night. Here we are in pairs, pretending one of us is Earth and the other the moon. We learned that from Earth, we never see the back of the moon, only the front!
We have been working so hard this week, we definitely earned our Creative Time. At Creative Time we get to choose what to do – we can play a turn taking game with friends, we can draw, read, colour, build with Lego, do a puzzle, build a domino rally, create a marble run, create shapes with 3D straws – the list is endless!
