week 7

Week 6

Thank you to Green class for another amazing week. They have worked so hard. We have really enjoyed preparing for Harvest Festival at church this week. The children were really amazing at learning the harvest songs and really impressed me in their performance of these :) They also worked hard at preparing their part of the poem which was done independently- they came up with some super ideas. Thank you to all the grown ups that attended church :)

Thank you to everyone that came to reading cafe-which we did outside. The children loved having all the grown ups here and so did I :) The work the children did around leaf man was really great. Here are some photos of our leaf man pictures that were made in the forest schools area at reading cafe. Some people asked for the pumpkin soup recipe link: https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/7730/pumpkin-soup

We also loved seeing Mrs Bowen and asking lots of questions about her baby. Thank you so so so much Mrs B for coming- we had the best time! 

This week in maths we have been learning about block diagrams and pictograms. If your child would like to practice over the holidays this is a useful link :)

Your child will have their spelling test on Monday. I have not given new spellings as home learning is due after the holidays.

Enjoy half term :)

Week 6

Week 6

What a super week again Green class! Green class have been very busy this week.

We have been learning a scientific enquiry technique; Researching. On Wednesday we joined with Orange class and began to research our big question ' What happened in 1666?' The children worked hard listening to voice messages, using lap tops, looking at objects, reading and highlighting facts. Year 2 helped the Year 1's with the reading and writing. It really highlighted how grown up they were. Ask your child about some of the facts they learnt. They found out about the houses, when/where the fire started and lots of other facts. 

In English we have been writing our own newspaper reports. (Pictures will follow) Please feel free to have a read of them in drop and read next time :)

In Maths we have focused on patterns. We have been describing patterns we have made. We have also been spotting patterns in numbers. This will help us with our counting in 2,3,5,10's.

Thank you to everyone that came to parents evening. Anyone that didn't make it please feel free to make an alternative appointment.

Reading cafe next week, it would be lovely to see you all there. Please wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty with some wellies/books/trainers we are going to be doing it in the Forest schools area. 

Harvest church service next Friday :)
