Celebration of learning
Thank you to everyone who joined us this morning for our celebration of learning. What a fantastic performance it was 🙂 We are so proud of everyone and the journey all the children have been on.
Mindful Monday
Crew Shields started their morning with a mindful yoga session. Even better as we were on our way to the North Pole to help Santa with his presents.
Rock, paper, scissors
Our crew challenge was to play rock, paper, scissors in small groups and compete against each other. Children used a tally to keep track of who won each game so they could then compete against the winner. It was great seeing everyone get involved and show good sportsmanship if they didn’t win.
Measuring in Maths
In maths, we started our measurements unit and kicked off the lessons by measuring things around the classroom in cm and m. We used a rule, metre stick and even a trundle wheel for the corridor. The children had lots of fun doing this and give them practical experience of measuring.
Wow! What a performance!
It was pleasure to be able to watch the Cheerleading and Acro performance on Thursday afternoon. The children from KS1 and KS2 performed the dances they have been learning during this term in lunchtime clubs.
The performance oozed confidence and the high quality learning that has taken place during these clubs. It was great to see children from previous years perform but also lots of new faces. A massive well done to all involved. They should be very proud of themselves.
Writing experience
In writing, we started our writing unit by looking at good examples of a non chronological report and gathered lots of ideas together to help us write some independent clauses. We ensured that our clauses had a subject and verb.
Money Money Money
Before starting our money unit in maths, we had the opportunity to play with the money so we’d feel more confident recognising the coins. While working with our partner, we gave them an amount of money and they had to count how much they had. This encouraged us to count in multiples of 1,2,5,10,20 and 50 supporting our understanding of place value.
Case Study reflection
Before starting our next case study, we reflected on what we had learned during history. We used padlet to collate our facts and thoughts while working in pairs. We were given some headings where we could put our facts. We then put all of this on an anchor chart which we used to help us answer the guiding question.
Single Clause sentences – punctuation
We continued our grammar lessons by identifying where we would place a full stop and capital letter. This was modelled on the board and then we watched a video. It was lovely to hear the children talking along with the video.
