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.

Alica's Magic pen

In English we looked at a book which had no writing. The book was called Journey. We looked carefully at the illustrations and  used our imagination to write what we thought might be happening.
We used wow words to describe the setting and the characters in our story.

In Maths we have been sharing equally into groups  for example


" 10 divided by 5 = 2  Austin


In Science we have been learning about living , non - living things and things which have never lived.

This week's learning owl is Isabella who has been persevering with her writing. Well done have fun with Snowy.

The Big Splash!

This week we have continued with our learning about canals. In English we have organised the facts we know about canals into sub headings.


In maths we have been counting in 2's,5's and 10's . We have been learning  to multiply.
 4x 2 = 8 
There are 4 groups of 2


Also we have been thinking about repeated addition.
2+2+2+2=8


We have been practising our May Dance with our partners.


In Art we had fun  looking at the work of the artist David Hockney. We  created our own swimming pool pictures, mixing either white or black to create tones and shades. Then we used paint and collage materials to make a swimmer for our pictures. It was fun!


Class photos are next Wednesday.  


Our Learning Owl is Ralphie who has been persevering with his learning. Well done. Have fun with Snowy.
