Week 4 Summer Term

We have had a fantastic week. We have been making chitenge patterns and have begun to create an item of clothing using our patterns. We used vegetables to do vegetable printing to create a pattern. We will complete our item of clothing next week :) We have learnt a bit about Malawi ready for our Federation day on Tuesday.

We have also learnt a lot about Florence Nightingale. We have pretended to administer medicine using ml to measure out exact amounts. We have also written facts that we have learnt about Florence Nightingale and will be creating an information leaflet next week. These will be on display for you to have a look at after half term.

On Friday we looked at the outfit nurses wore while Florence Nightingale was nursing and we had a go at designing our own. Here are a few photographs!

 We have been doing capacity. We have made super hero, super power potions. We used beakers and pipettes to measure ml.

We have also been learning about wants and needs of humans and animals. We learnt we need, water, oxygen, food and shelter. We made posters in groups. 

Summer Week 2

Summer Week 2

I am sure you will agree that Green class did a fantastic job on May Day doing maypole dancing and setting up their stall. I am especially impressed with all the children that stood in for the children that were absent in an additional dance. I want to say  thank you all for being so brave and dedicated. The children designed and set our 'brain bucket' stall up. They thought about pricing, giving change, advertisement and budgeting.

Thank you for those that came to see Green class share 'supertato' in celebration assembly. They have worked hard to remember the story. They have used this story to base their own stories on. Green class wrote stories and they are brilliant. Please feel free when you next pop in to have a look at your child's story.

In maths we have been looking at addition and subtraction on an empty number line.

We have also been learning to count in 10's starting from any number. For example- 8,18,28,38,48.

This may be something you wish to practice at home.

SATS will start next week. Next week will be a reading paper and some children will also do Maths paper 1. Please make sure you are reading as much at home as possible and any additional maths work will be useful for your child. Early nights and good breakfasts will also help them along :) Any questions please come and see me.
