As part of STEAM Week , Miss O'Brien (Our school Science Lead) organised for our class to go to the Science Museum. We had an amazing time. We played, explored and had lots of fun learning. 

We had such a lovely day for World Book Day and I was so impressed with the children's costumes. Thank you parents and children for all the effort you put in to make this a wonderful day.

We have had a wonderful week! We have done a lot in our topic Lands Ahoy

In literacy we have been developing our poetry skills. We have looked at alliteration and rhyming and what they add to the poem. We then thought about how we could make the pirate poem we were learning more of our own. We decided to change the names to either our own name or someone we know. 

In maths we have been recaping over our multiplication and divirion as well as our addition and subtraction. 

In Geography we were learning about the points on a compass and how they can be used to give directions. 

In science we are looking at what we need as humans. We had to imagine we were shipwrecked on a island and what we would need to do first in order to survive. Things such as searching for food and water and making a shelter. 

Well done to all the children in Key stage One for their wonderful performance in this years Christmas production. You worked so hard and were outstanding!

We have been learning about what the soldiers went through and how difficult it would have been for them. We decided to design our own medals for them. We wanted to include drawings and key words of all the things they have done for us to show our appreciation. The children made their own poppies to wear on Remembrance day and also created some beautiful Silhouette art. 

This week we have been reading the wonderful story "How Anansi Got His Stories". 

Something very exciting happened in our classroom on Wednesday. We came into our classroom and all our books were gone. All that remained was a spider web and a note saying “I have taken your stories”. Later in the day we noticed there was a letter from Anansi the spider. It led to a special hunt where each clue led us closer to finding our books. The children had a wonderful time being detecatives and locating our class books. We then read the story and acted it out. We are looking forward to learning more about the story next week. 

These first couple weeks back at school we have come together as a class to look at the environment that surounds us. We have looked at the benefits of having a calm and naturalistic environment and ways we can help to maintain and support this. We have made information posters to inspire others around us to look at ways they can improve their well being and mental health by simply taking the time to enjoy parks and other green spaces as well as making sure to put thier litter in the bin.
