Wonderful Autumn!

Forest School group 1 enjoyed the beautiful autumn sunshine this week.  First Miss Wones asked us to find a leaf and then we had to be tree detectives to discover which tree it may have fallen from. We were amazed by all the different colours and shapes of the leaves we found!

Before we went in, we had time to light a fire and toasted some marshmallows - yummy!

Hopefully the weather will be just as lovely for group 2 next week.

 

 

 

Week 9...

How to Catch a Star & Whatever Next!

This week all our learning in Year 1 and  has been based around a story called 'How to Catch a Star' by Oliver Jeffers. Miss Arnold was really mean and didn't let us read the book all week! She made us guess and predict and use our imagination!

First we thought of our own ideas of how we could catch a star. 

Ideas by Lexie, Year 1.

The next day Miss Arnold gave us some RUBBISH instructions of how to make an origami star! 

We all got really frustrated but we learnt that instructions have to be really clear and use imperative (bossy) verbs! 

The next day Miss Arnold gave us some instructions that were clear and had imperative verbs in. They were to make star biscuits. We all made biscuits in the hall and then ate them afterwards! We learnt that instructions have to be clear and concise! 

Finally today we wrote our own instructions about how to catch a star. We used everything we had learnt during the week to help us with our writing.

Beth, Year 2

In Reception we have been learning about the story 'Whatever Next'. All week we have been linking our learning to the story; counting stars accurately, re-telling the story, creating our own rockets and even having a picnic on the moon! 

Week 8...

Non-Fiction Texts and Multiplication!

We all came back to school with a smile on our face and a skip in our step! 

This week in English we have been learning about information books and the features we find inside them. We then started to write facts that we knew about our 'expert' subject using the skills we had learnt. 

In Maths we have been learning about multiplication in Year 2. We had a fun time in the hall making arrays using cones! This really helped us to visually see 'lots of'. 

In Year 1 we have been consolidating our addition and subtraction learning and remembering all the methods we have been taught. We have also been trying to solve number problems!

In Reception we have started our learning about Space. We looked at a book called Aliens love underpants! Come and see all our fantastic learning in our classroom!
