Month: October 2019

Welcome back!

We have been busy with lots of learning in our first week back including –

• writing in the past tense
• using a variety of openers in our writing to vary our sentences
• pyramid writing in spelling to help us learn our words
• revision of addition with carrying and subtraction with borrowing
• creating some Halloween themed art
• completing a KWL grid for our new Space topic
• reading and spelling our oo phonics words
• learning about scaling of feelings in PATHS (this week as like and love)
• beginning HIIT fitness work in P.E
• self and peer evaluating our goals from term 1

Some of the ‘oo’ words we thought of and Kayden showing off his drawing of roots

Gathering resources for our art & technology lesson

Miss Hewitt did not give the children instructions how to make the spider web – they were shown pictures and were to try and problem solve how to secure the sticks and string together independently… to be continued next week!

Well, that is term one finished already! A great start to the year in class 2 with lots of great learning already.

We finished off the last week of term with a trip to the Science Centre yesterday to watch ‘A beautiful planet’ at the I-max, which will link in very well with out STEM themed topic next term. We also had some time to explore the science malls before the film which the class thoroughly enjoyed!

Thank you all very much for coming to parents night this week, it was great to see you all. Have a fabulous holiday and I will see you in term 2 🙂

This week was outdoor learning week at St Albert’s. We continued working on our current topics but incorporated the outdoors into our lessons. Thank you to those of you who were able to join us for the parent open afternoon for outdoor learning on Thursday.

Some outdoor mental maths – writing 2,3 & 4 digit numbers, finding numbers with a certain number of tens or units, finding numbers before or after, finding odd or even numbers

 

Preparing the skills we needed for our trip to the shop to work out some totals and change

 

Putting all our different basketball skills together to play a game on the MUGA (fabulous photography by Hector on Miss Hewitt’s iPad)

 

The ng words we hunted for on our trip to swimming, plus some other we thought of back in class

 

Trip to the local shop to spend £1 – adding up to find the total of the things we wanted and counting on to work out change. Then enjoying our purchases 🙂 

 

We were learning about y and Y in handwriting this week and did some of this outdoors using chalk and making the letters out of twigs

Photographs we took on our ‘Children’s Rights in action’ hunt. We found evidence of 9 different rights that children were receiving at St Alberts 🙂

 

Tuesday was Huzaifa’s birthday and we celebrated this with a party in class on Friday afternoon including some fabulous dancing for musical statues 🙂
