Spring 2, Week 3 – Book Week

Stars of the Week: Tabitha and Mason

Last week we celebrated Book Week. We learned about Maria Montessori and how she changed education to encourage children to be free, curious and responsible. We wrote clues about our favourite subject at school and read them to Year 2 who tried to guess what it was. We also got to share a book with Class 5 and had The Jolly Postman read to us by Margaret M. It was a busy week and the children’s costumes were all absolutely great!

Spring 2, Week 1

Stars of the Week: Astrid and Cameron J

This week in maths we started our new unit Mass and Volume. We have been doing lots of measuring in Class 1 – finding out how many cubes different objects weigh using the balance scales and measure and comparing the capacity of different containers.

Next week we will begin our multiplication and division unit, starting with counting in 10s.

Spring 1, Week 6

Stars of the Week: Mason and Ava

This week in PSHE we learned about being responsible. We read different scenarios and wrote ideas about how we could act responsibly and help.

After half term we will start our weight and volume unit in maths. We will be using words such as heavy and light to compare objects and exploring the capacity of different sized containers. In English, our class text will be Traction Man by Mini Grey.

Spring 1, Week 5

Stars of the Week: All of Class 1

Well done to all of Class 1, who wrote their own fantastic versions of The Three Billy Goats Gruff this week, replacing the troll with their own grumpy character and changing the reason that the goats wanted to cross the bridge.

Spring 1, Week 3

Stars of the Week: Sean and Scarlett

This week Class 1 had a go at programming bee-bots. We gave them a set of directions then predicted where they would end up.

Spelling Words
Group 1: were, was, is, his, has
Group 2: of, said, says, your, they

Next week in English we will be re-writing the story of the Three Billy Goats with different characters and settings.

Spring 1, Week 2

Stars of the Week: Mas and Chiugo

This week we have been thinking about how we care for God’s wonderful world. Well done to Mas and Chuigo who shared lovely ideas on how they care for creation, including walking to school instead of using a car and recycling.
Keep a look out for our new God’s Creation display which we will be working on over the next couple of weeks!

Next week we will be starting our Place Value to 50 unit in maths so it’s a great time to get started on counting from 0-50 and 50-0 at home!
