Y4 - Rules of Music.
Year 4 had a busy morning in music on Monday. They listened to music and have performed The Cup Song. In their second music lesson of the day they have been learning about the rules of music... Crochet = 1 beat, Minim = 2 beats and Semibreve = 4 beats... then composing their own bars of music for their buddies to preform. Some great composing being done... Well Done!
Y5 Music Day
In Year 5 this afternoon, the children have been listening to different pieces of music and have been attempting to identify the beats and rhythm in the songs. The children then used an array of instruments to accurately add to the songs rhythm. We have also learnt a poem called 'the rhythm of life', we added actions to this poem and performed it together.
Reception Class Name Writing
Reception Class have been working hard on identifying and writing their names. Some of our children are self correcting their pen grip too which is great!
Y3 -Science - Shadows
Year 3 conducted their first outside science experiment today. They were trying to find patterns in the way that the size of shadows change, using poles and string. Throughout the afternoon they checked their experiment and recorded the change in the shadows.
Y1 - Comparing Numbers
Year 1 have been comparing numbers, looking at more and fewer. We have also been looking at the vocabulary more than, less than and equals to. We spent some time today re-capping this vocabulary and used the cubes to help us.
2’s Room - Birthdays
We have had lots of fun this week in the 2’s room learning about birthdays and how we celebrate them. We enjoyed looking at photos of when we were babies and how much we have grown! We have enjoyed making cakes using the playdough and inserting candles into the dough and counting them. We have had another week playing with the flour, making cakes and making marks using our fingers. We have all explored the classroom and we even created a birthday cake using the interactive board. What a fun week we have had!
Pre School - Bear Hunt
In literacy this week we have continued exploring our story of We're Going on a Bear Hunt. We have now reached the dark forest and explored the different sounds we would hear in the forest, selecting pictures of the animals we would find. We used the sensory box to find hidden bugs and twigs. We created forest pictures, painting with twigs and leaves. We then went outside to make a bear cave, collecting twigs, leaves and recalling the story as we worked together to make the cave. I think the bear would be very happy.
Y1 English - Experience Day
For our Experience Day today, the children explored a busy and beautiful forest. In small groups they thought about the birds movements and actions and created a list of verbs including pecking, flying, twirling, gliding... The children then moved like the birds.
Handwriting in Reception
Reception Class have been busy practicing their handwriting this afternoon. We are working on following a simple pattern on our boards, moving from left to right and holding our pen correctly.
Year 1 - Mastering Number
During our Mastering Number sessions this week Y1 have been looking at the numbers 6-10 and learning about how these numbers are made up of '5 and a bit'. The children have used the dice frames and rekenreks to demonstrate these numbers then completed the sentence stems ___ is the whole, 5 is a part and ___ is a part or 5 needs ___ to make ___ For example 7 is the whole, 5 is a part and 2 is a part. Or 5 needs 2 to make 7. The children have gained a really good understanding of these numbers and have worked hard. Keep up the good work Year 1!
Pre School - Birthdays
This week in Pre school we have explored birthdays and how we have celebrated birthdays before. We talked about how many candles we had on our cake, if we received birthday cards and presents and if we had birthday parties. We listened to the story of Kipper's Birthday and explored our objects on the carpet. The children then got to create their own present and wrapping paper on our workshop table.
