KS1 Celebration of Learning

6th December 2023Laura Godley

KS1 performed beautifully to their grown ups this afternoon, celebrating their expedition and explaining how we were heroes in our own community. The children articulated their learning journey with such confidence and pride. To bring our expedition to a close we shared with our grown ups that we raised an incredible £306 to purchase gifts to share with Hallam FM Christmas Mission, these have been wrapped by the children and will be delivered over the coming weeks. We are so proud of our children and would like to thank all of our parents for their support this term.

Using our prepositional language in maths

6th December 2023A Welburn

In maths today, we read the story ‘We’re going on a bear hunt’. We used the language, ‘over’, ‘under’ and ‘through’ to describe what the characters were doing. After we learnt the vocabulary, we built the story using small world resources and showed how the characters moved through the story, using our new vocabulary to describe what they were doing. We then placed our peg dolls around the classroom and used language like, ‘on top of’, ‘underneath’, ‘inside’ and ‘next to’ to describe where the peg dolls were.

Christmas artwork

5th December 2023A Welburn

Today in Crew MW, we started our Christmas artwork! The skill we are focussing on is colour mixing..We had lots of fun using our hands to print into one colour, our partner then printed in the second colour and then we mixed our hands together to see what colour the mixed colours made. We found out that blue and red make purple, yellow and red makes orange, and blue and yellow makes green! 🎨

Polar Express

5th December 2023Ruth Shields

Yesterday, we started to look at our next writing unit. We thought it only fitting to do some Christmas writing as that will be a lovely way to end the term off.

We are using a short scene from The Polar Express and writing a narrative. We started by sequencing the events in the video and generating some vocabulary that could help us.

My shirt’s on a boat for a sail for a goat..

5th December 2023Lauren Marsh

In today’s experience lesson we each made our own tin foil boat to see if it floated on water. We balanced coins in the boat to make it even harder. After that, we chotted all of our ideas to think about what actions George did, what he could see and then how he might of felt after giving his shirt to the goat to use as a sail on his boat.

We love singing the song for each plot point.
