Newton Farm Primary School and Nursery Class

Thank you to Dylan, Evie, Hania and Rebecca for writing this week’s blog post.

 Maths

In maths we have been measuring using centimetres. We went around the classroom measuring things with rulers. We made posters about all the different ways to measure. We had different stations set up to learn more about lengths. We also measured string at any length we wanted.

ICT

For ICT we have been working on coding using scratch and python. On scratch we have used coding to make animated actions. On python we made games. 

Art

For art we made 2026 drawings. For the first 2 we had two targets. For the second 2 we had two wishes. For the 6 we did six things we were looking forward to and we left the 0 blank. 

Literacy/Reading

 For literacy we are reading the Abominables. This book is about yetis going from country to country and having problems. We have been answering questions about this book.

Handwriting

For handwriting with Miss O’Brien we did printing writing which is not joining and no flicks on our letters. With Miss Higgins we joined our letters and made sure they’re the right size. 

Spelling

For spelling we have had words to do with affixes and suffixes. 

Last week we combined our art skills with our maths knowledge as we created geometric trees to increase what we know on angles. We found this funner and more creative than just writing in jotters.

In music we learned how to find the beat in different songs and keep it throughout. We listened very carefully for what the video said and repeated it back in time with the music.

In literacy we started a new book called Tribes.  Everybody is already really enjoying the book and we are eager to read the next part every time. We are excited to tell you all about the tasks we have been doing next week.

Last but not least, some of our pupils went to Manchester on Sunday for a special opportunity. Some individuals went and saw the Manchester City vs Chelsea game. The pupils really enjoyed it as they also did the Etihad Stadium tour. They then had lunch at the Trafford Centre. It was a great trip!

Hope you had a week as good as ours,

Room 24

Room 23s blog 

This week in room 23 we have been learning about shapes. We learned about 3D shapes nets, and about what their names are, also about the faces, edges, and vertices.

We are almost finished with our book Natasha’s will and it has been very exciting to learn about the Russian revolution.

We have been listening to different types of music to find out what type of music we enjoy and why.

We have been learning about scratch, and we made jumping game on it.
