Reception Maths: Exploring 4 and 5
Our children have been getting to know the numbers 4 and 5 through lots of practical work. The photo shows them deep in conversation, comparing finger patterns, building sets with cubes and counters, and using numicon to spot number arrangements. There was plenty of talk around the table as they checked their counting, noticed patterns and explained how they knew they had the right amount. Activities like these help them see number in different forms and build real confidence with early counting. It’s lovely to see how much teamwork and focus they bring to these sessions.
Nursery - Communication And Language - Decorating The Christmas Tree
The children in nursery class were full of excitement this week as we marked the start of the Christmas countdown by decorating our Christmas tree. This activity became a rich foundation for developing communication and descriptive language. While using their fine motor skills to carefully hang the decorations, the children spontaneously engaged in conversation, actively discussing the different sizes, shapes, and colours they could see. This provided a natural opportunity to expand their descriptive vocabulary. Furthermore, the excitement prompted the children to share personal experiences, talking about their own Christmas trees at home and sharing their thoughts and knowledge about Santa. The activity successfully promoted peer-to-peer communication and the sharing of imaginative ideas.
Pre-School- P.E-Ball Skills
In P.E. last week, the children were practising their throwing skills. They worked in pairs, with one child holding a hoop as a target and the other pretending their ball was a snowball to throw through it. They had a great time and worked really well with their partners. Lovely teamwork all round.
Year 6: English - Subordinating Conjunctions
This week during our grammar starters in English, year 6 have been practicing using subordinating conjunctions. We follow the i-model and use kung-fu punctuation to help!
Year 4 Assessment Week
It's been a tough week at school, with various assessments taking place throughout the week. Year 4 have tried their best to show all of their learning so far this term and hope to achieve some great results!
Year 1 PE: Tracking the ball
This week in PE, Year 1 focused on developing the vital skill of tracking the ball. This involves using both their eyes and their body to follow the ball's movement . Each child had to defend their net against an opponent trying to score, which meant constantly keeping their eyes on the ball, anticipating where it was going, and using quick body movements to successfully intercept or block the shot. The children demonstrated great effort in staying balanced and reacting quickly to the path of the ball, which is a key skill for many sports!
Year 1 Maths: Understanding 10
This week, Year 1 focused on understanding the number 10. We used counters and ten frames to test different number combinations to make our whole number: 10. We also did some SILENT maths, and used our fingers to represent the different number bonds that make 10. To consolidate this knowledge, children worked independently on various activities to reinforce their understanding of number bonds within 10, helping them develop speed and confidence within the subject.
Year 6: Science - Light
This week in science year 6 have conducted experiments to prove that light travels in a straight line. L.O: To understand the pathway of light.
Year 2 - Maths - Drawing 2D Shapes
Fantastic Maths work from Year 2! They've been brilliant at learning all about 2D shapes, especially counting the sides and vertices. The children then did a superb job of drawing their own shapes in their books. Best of all, they showed great skill and care when using the ruler to keep their lines lovely and straight. A massive well done!
Year 2 - English - Instructions
After learning about instructions in English, Year 2 worked in groups to invent new games using the P.E. equipment. They then clearly and confidently presented the rules to their classmates.
