Each child has been added to ClassDojo. Please make sure you have added our Year Group so that you can keep updated on your child's day at school. Please ask a member of staff if you have any problems with this.
Our Learning Journey
Autumn 1 Thankfulness knowledge mat
Autumn 1
In English, we have started the prediction phase for our key text ‘Stone Age Boy’. Yesterday, the children were given some picture clues. The children had to think about what could be happening in the story? what might happen next? The children produced some excellent predictions!
This half term, we have been learning about place value in math's. This week, we have been looking at representing two, three and four-digit numbers in different ways.
This half term, we have been learning about the artist Jeffery Andrews. Jeffery is an artist who creates sculptures and wraps buildings in sheets to create prints. He also uses collage to create mixed media.
He goes into schools to share his work and inspires us to create artwork from a different time period.
We were lucky enough to spend half a day with Jeffery Andrews. We were transformed into archaeologists and we found lots of interesting artefacts.
This half term in science, our topic has been Animals including humans. During one lesson, the children enjoyed working together to build a skeleton and learning about the common and scientific names for the different bones in our body.
In our final week, we walked down to church for the annual harvest festival service. During the service, we discussed what is harvest festival, why we celebrate it and we also sang some harvest songs. In addition to this, a number of children brought in food donations for families who are less fortunate than us, these were brought down to church with us.
Autumn 2
During our first week back, we were looking at our local area in topic. The children enjoyed working on the I pads and finding different towns, cities and familiar places on google maps in our local area.
