Room 15 W/B 31.08.26

Hi Parents /Carers!

We had an amazing week…let us tell you all about it!

In our numeracy, we have been working on rounding to 10, 100 and 1000.

In our new class novel we were learning to scan text and visualise the monsters in the book. We used visualisation to design our own monsters.

In our science lesson we were looking at the difference between liquids, solids and gases.

In writing we were looking at expanded noun phrases and adding them into our stories called, ‘The Lighthouse’.

Have a good weekend,

Room 6 are 2D Shape Explorers!

We have been working so hard this week learning all about 2D shapes. Did you know that 2D shapes are completely flat? We know lots of their names now, like squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and even hexagons!

To help us learn all about straight sides and pointy corners, we had five brilliant shape-building stations in the classroom. We worked with our learning partners and used lots of different materials to build our own shapes:

  • The Straw Station: We used brightly coloured straws to make giant squares and really long rectangles on the carpet.

  • The Magnet Station: This one was so much fun! We clicked the magnetic pieces together to build super sturdy triangles and diamonds.

  • The Lollistick Station: We had to use our problem-solving skills to lay the lollisticks flat and see how many different multi-sided shapes we could make.

  • The Cocktail Stick Station: These were a little bit fiddly and tricky, but we used them to carefully count the straight sides and corners of our shapes.

  • The Shape Blocks Station: We used smaller wooden shapes and fitted them together like a jigsaw puzzle to make massive shape pictures!

We had the best time being shape builders. Sometimes it was a bit tricky to make sure all the corners matched up perfectly, but we kept trying and helped each other out.

Room 16

Hello!

We have really enjoyed our week in Room 16. We have been learning lots of new things. We both like reading our new book The Wild Robot. We have been working on creating a survival guide for Roz the Robot to help keep her safe in the wild. During ICT, we also researched different types of grammar to use on our group posters. 

I loved PE because we were playing football and I was the PE helper this week – Ruby

I enjoyed learning how to carry numbers while doing standard written method sums with Miss Campbell – Harper 

Thank you for reading.

Welcome to Room 16!

Our first couple of weeks in Room 16 have been super busy!

We began by working on our rights as students and completing our class charter. We also started our class novel The Wild Robot and have been using reading strategies such as summarising and visualisation. In maths, we’ve been revising our times tables and have started looking at place value to begin with.

Every week, some of our students will be telling you about what work they have completed, enjoyed or done well in.

Pupil Voice

“I’ve had fun in PE so far. It’s more intense than last year.” – Hannah

“I really liked our ICT lesson where we completed group research for our grammar posters.” – Poppy 

“I enjoyed doing our comprehension questions, I love to do problem solving.” – Grace

“I’ve done really well on my writing so far!” – Iona 

Thank you for reading!

Room 21’s Awesome blog

Last week in Numeracy,  we focused on data handling, line graphs and explored the mean,median,mode and range.

For PE last week, we did belly baseball,capture the flag,rounders and rugby. We joined in with room 23.

For writing, we wrote a narrative piece based on the rooftops in Paris. This links with our class novel The Rooftoppers. 

For Art, we did a perspective piece of art. It looks like we are looking up at the buildings in Paris.

Room 15 W/B 24.08.26

Room 15 have started reading ‘The Worries’ as our modelling block. We have been using the reading strategies, prediction and scanning. In numeracy we have been revising rounding to 10 and 100 and using our knowledge and skills to round to 1000. We have started looking at the changing states of water in science and are looking forward to conducting practical activities to develop our understanding.

We are currently updating our Glow passwords but we hope to be up and running on Google Classroom next week. ‘Team 15’ has been created on Google Classroom and invites have been sent to the children via email. We we hopefully accept these during our ICT lesson on Monday.

Room 7’s Weekly Blog

Hello to all our Room 7 families and friends!

Welcome to our classroom blog!

This week, we have been showcasing our numeracy skills by working with numbers from 0-100, and beyond, by counting, ordering, working on our place value knowledge and finding 1 more/1 less from a number.

Today, we had our first visit to the school library since starting p2. We will visit the library every Friday and the books we choose will be taken home to enjoy and are to be returned the following Friday to be exchanged for a new book.

Take a look at us in action…
