We had fun in forest school making dens. We worked together as a team and added leaves and sticks to make them even better!
We used our investigative skills to find and sort leaves according to their properties. We learnt about the different parts of a leave including the margin, blade, stalk and veins. We also found out about different types of leaves such as palmate, simple, compound and lobe.
We have been learning about Victorians. The children went to St John’s museum in Warwick and experienced what it would have been like to be a child in Victorian Britain. We even made our own butter and lemonade!
Year 1 and 2 children are thoroughly enjoying being heard read by the Year 6 reading ambassadors. They are becoming more confident at reading to someone new and answering some questions about their book. Keep it up everyone!
It was brilliant to see the Gymnastics competitions back at school. The children worked so hard in their PE lessons and clubs to be chosen to represent the school at the brilliant Tribe Centre. The children were taught a floor and vault routine that was scored as we competed against the other schools in Coventry East. The Year 3 team
In Geography we have been learning about London. They then made comparisons with Kuala Lumpur. The children noticed similarities and differences between the two cities. They saw that both cities had rivers, tall towers and a zoo. They really enjoyed exploring Kuala Lumpur using google earth.
Full, half full or empty? How many cups of water can fit into the jug? How many cubes will it take to fill the bowl? What is the mass of the container in cubes? These are all questions that the children asked and they had fun finding out the answers!
In art we learnt about collagraphy. Children made their own printing blocks out of string, bubble wrap, corrugated card, string and other items they could find. They then painted it with special ink and created their own print. They were really pleased with their finished art work!
We have been counting in 2’s 5’s and 10’s. We have been doing repeated addition and have begun to make links to multiplication. 10+10+10=30, 3 groups of 10 is 30, 3 x 10 = 30. Children enjoyed doing this practically and writing on the tables in the learning hub!
