We really enjoyed watching the Year 2 performance of Mavi Catches the Sun and we are looking forward to being in Year 2 . On Thursday we had transition morning and went to Chestnut Class. In maths we have been looking for patterns in numbers and in English we learnt a poem about travelling in a railway carriage . We then imagined we were travelling through Redbourn and used adjectives and adverbs to describe what we could see, hear and feel.
Our Learning Owl this week is Tommie who has been concentrating with his learning. Well done have fun with Snowy.

This week in English we have been writing character descriptions for Jim and the giant in Jim and the Beanstalk. We thought about their appearance , personality, likes and dislikes.
" I would be Jim's friend because because I could go on an adventure with him". Annabelle.
In Science we have been learning to think about what we can do with our hands.
"I can hold 11 marbles." Ben
" Ralphie and I could throw and catch a ball 30 times without dropping it". Austin
" You can bounce a ball 10 times " Will
In topic we have been rolling thin strips of paper to use for quilling.

Assembly and School Fair
We hope you all enjoyed our assembly this morning, Mrs Bentley and Mrs Orchard were very proud of our speaking and sharing our learning so confidently. We really enjoyed reciting the poem and singing the kite song.
We have had a very busy week as on Tuesday we had a visit from the Herts Air Ambulance which landed on the school field. It was very noisy but also very exciting.
In maths we have been learning about time thinking very carefully about the position of the minute and hour hand on o'clock and half past the hour. We have also been thinking about position and rotation. We have been using maths words , such as a quarter turn, half turn , clockwise and anti clockwise.
We hope to see many of you at the school fair tomorrow. There will be lots of fun stalls including a tombola, raffle, BBQ and we can buy the wind chimes which we have decorated.

World Wind and Green Day
We celebrated World Wind Day on Thursday by making pinwheels, number fact kites, blow painting and using construction kits to make wind turbines and windmills. We had a fun session! We learnt that wind farms are built where it is hilly and they are used to make electricity. We also found out birds have different shaped wings or flying. A vulture has a broad wing to help it hover in the air and a swallow has narrow wings to help it fly fast through the air.
In English we recited a poem by AA Milne about the wind and we hope to share this with you in our assembly in two weeks time. We used action to help us remember the poem.
In PSHE we have been thinking about caring for the environment.
Today is Green Day and we have been recycling clothes into different items for a fashion show next week.
Our Learning Owl is Oliver who has been trying so hard with his learning. Well done, have fun with Snowy.

Splash Dance
We have had a busy week. In maths we have been using the 100 square to practise adding and subtracting ten. We have been thinking about how many tens and how many ones there are in a number.
" 17 has 7 ones and 1 ten". Ben
"34 has 3 tens 4 ones" Finlay
We have been solving missing number problems.
In music we played the instruments using a score.
" A score is like the instructions for a tune". Austin
In Dance we are creating our own Splash Dance. We were thinking about moving slowing showing different ways to get into a swimming pool.
We practised skills for Sports day in our PE lesson.
On Friday it is Green Day and we can wear something green. We also need to bring into school an old t-shirt or a piece of clothing that we can reuse to make belts, bags, hats, tops etc.
Our Learning Owl is harry T for persevering with his Design and Technology project. Well done Harry. Have fun with Snowy

May Dance
We hope you all enjoyed the May Dance this morning. The children enjoyed dressing up and learning the dance.
Well done to all of the children who took part in the Fun Run. They proudly wore their medals in Celebration Assembly today.
In Design and Technology we explored making stable structures using construction kits, newspaper and playdough and cocktail sticks. We found out that it is best to start on a flat surface and to create a large area for the base. We had to build a tower that was 50cm high.
In Maths we have been exploring 3D shapes . We have been describing them using maths words such as faces, edges, vertices, circular and rectangular. Some of us in Learning Through Play made our own every day 3D objects using nets.
We hope you have a safe and enjoyable half term. See you on Tuesday 6th June.

Finding half
In Maths we have been learning to find half. We have been finding half of groups of objects, shapes and a whole. We know that when you halve a group of objects they are share into 2 equal groups.
We have also been learning to share into quarters. We enjoyed sharing how we found half at home using different objects.
In English we have been writing our own stories using the picture book Journey. We thought really carefully about writing the beginning, middle and end. We used wow words, conjunctions and some of us used speech marks in our writing.
In Geography we have been looking at where we live. We used maps to locate where we live and learned there are 7 continents and we live in the continent of Europe.
Our Learning Owl is Georgina who has been persevering with her writing. Have fun with Snowy. Well done.
