Yesterday we discussed the reasons why we celebrate bonfire night. We watched and explored a video clip all about Guy Fawkes then discussed our thoughts in mini crews. We then thought about firework safety and the reasons why this is so important. We then applied our learning to a kahoot quiz!
Today, we have discussed the reasons why we celebrate bonfire night, including the history of Guy Faulks. We then thought about firework safety and the reasons why this is so important. We then applied our learning to a kahoot quiz!
We enjoyed our first experience lesson today in Crew Marsh and learnt what order to make a jam sandwich. I cannot wait to see your beautiful writing this week!

Today we discussed friendships and what friendship means to us. We talked about what makes a good friend and how we make sure we are a good friend to others. We then took part in a task where we had to communicate with others in the crew, finding someone else who likes doing certain things e.g someone who likes dogs, someone who likes pizza. We enjoyed learning more about each other and talking to each other a little more. We then thought more about how we are all good friends and what we do to show this daily.
Today we looked at what we mean by multiplication and division…
We used cubes to explore arrays then worked with our partner on a problem solving question. We have really enjoyed our maths lesson 🙂
What a great way to end the half term by having some time on the bouncy castle. Lots of bouncing, sliding and flipping. Some children even learned how to do a flip with the help of their peers.
During the last week, children had the opportunity to consolidate some of their learning using Mymaths. This allowed staff to do some 1:1 time to purple pen in maths books.
As our do now, we consolidated our learning about regular and irregular verbs as this was an area from out touchdown on verbs that we need to continue drip feeding into our learning.
We have now moved on to new learning in grammar where we need to understand the subject and verb within a sentence. We used a script to help us identify the verb and then who or what was doing the action.
For example: The skull protects the brain.
What is the first verb?
Protects
What protects? Who protects?
The skull
Therefore the skull is the subject of the sentence.
This script helped us focus and find the subject.
When we moved on to the subject as a pronoun, we struggled with this so we had a practical lesson where we could form a sentence that made sense then identify the verb and who or what did that action. This helped us understand more and this was evident when children went back to purple pen their exit ticket from the previous lesson and got it correct.
In history, we explored the roles of men and women during wartimes. Children learned that everyone played a vital role towards the war effort whether that was on the frontline or on the home front. Children then completed an exit ticket to explain the job they would want and explain why. Teddy gave a great explanation for why he’d want to be making bombs.
