A massive well done to all the children who took part in Chapter one! You have showed so much progress with your reading this year. We all celebrated them today where they spoke with their volunteers on line and received their certificates. We all loved listening to and performing the poem at the end! Thank you to the chapter one representative, Lauren, she has been an amazing support this year 🙂
Today we explored different lines of symmetry using the terms vertical, horizontal and diagonal. We looked at a variety of images and thought about whether each was a reflection. We thought about how we can use a mirror to check for lines of symmetry and we explored different shapes to find lines of symmetry.
This week we have been learning about Amelia Earhart so today we experienced what it is like to go on an aeroplane. First we made passports, then collected our boarding cards before going through passport control. When seated we enjoyed an inflight film and a snack and drink from the trolley! A great end to the week!

This week we’ve been focusing on our number recognition and numicon. The children really enjoyed singing our 5 currant buns song and splatting the buns away one at a time. All the children waited patiently to take their turn at splatting. Great self-control while waiting- well done guys!
Here is what we like to do when we have our sensory break in-between our learning.
This week, Crew Hamill have made a start on Case Study 3 – Art. In our first lesson, we have explored our focus artist of Henry Moore who is famous for being commissioned to produce charcoal drawings of coal miners. We then had a go at experimenting with the medium of charcoal ourselves using different techniques, seeing what effects we could create. Some of us even attempted to draw with it!
