English Refugee researching!
Willow Class have been researching about Refugee's to activate our prior knowledge before reading 'Wisp- A story of hope'. We have found out lots of information about what a refugee is and where refugee camps are located.
Place Value
In Willow these past couple of weeks we have been using place value counters and base 10 to solidify our knowledge of numbers and what each digit within a number represents. We have been creating numbers within 10,000 using place value counters. All pupils in Willow Class have grown in confidence…
Circuit building
We have been learning about Electricity in Science and have been building circuits using wires, bulbs batteries, switches, buzzers and motors! The children in Willow Class have worked really well in groups to problem solve and create circuits that conduct electricity!
Base 10
We have been using base 10 to represent numbers within 1000. We then challenged each other to write numbers beyond 1000 and recognise which digits represented the thousands, hundreds, tens and ones.
PSHE reception- what is safe to go into our body?
We helped Harold the giraffe decide what food/drink was safe to go into his body. We then discussed how medicine is safe to go into our body if we feel poorly and a trusted adult helps us. We dressed up as doctors/nurses and pretended to administer medicine safely by reading the labels.
Non fiction texts
Ash class spent some time exploring non fiction texts including newspapers, leaflets, recipe books and instruction manual.
Year 1 Place value
Year 1 were playing a game where they were turning over number cards and challenging their peers to write a number within 20 correctly! They enjoyed being mini teachers :)
Snowy day!
Ash Class have been having fun with the snowy animals in the shaving foam to represent waking up to more snow!
Music Ash Class
Year 1 in Ash Class have enjoyed experimenting with different musical instruments deciding which noise they prefer!
Bishop visit
Ash Class thoroughly enjoyed sharing their outdoor area with Bishop Phillip!
Maths building 3D towers
Ash class worked in small groups to create the tallest tower using 3D shapes that we have been learning about. We discussed why a sphere and a cone would be no use at the bottom of the tower! We measured the towers to crown the winning group with the tallest tower.
We had towers as tall as 5ft…
The BIG Little Nativity
Ash and Oak performed their Nativity to all of their family and the rest of school. We have some amazing performers!
