Class 1

Class 1 have had a fantastic time finding out all about Lunar New Year. They have made dancing dragons and tried using chopsticks. They know this is the year of the snake. 

Inspired by a non-fiction book “Great women who changed the world” Holly created a poster at home all about Rosa Parkes! Fantastic work! 

Reception are working really hard in phonics! They can now read and spell words with some Phase 3 digraphs and trigraphs! 

Year 2 have almost finished a maths unit about money! They have been counting coins and notes, choosing the correct coins to pay for an item and solving problems. Our supermarket role play area helped with this too. Well done Year 2! 

In English we have been creating character descriptions about Evil Pea!
Year 2 thought of some amazing adjectives and synonyms. They used them to create expanded noun phrases. 

Class 1 had a great time with their friends eating Christmas dinner. Yum! 

The whole school came together to prepare our Christingles ready for our service in church.

Children were able to explain the meaning behind each part and helped each other. 

Our Christmas Post Office role play area is now open! The children have loved exploring the resources and using their imaginations! There are lots of opportunities for writing too! 

As part of our topic about festivals of light, we have been exploring the meaning and symbolism of Advent. We worked together to create our own Advent wreath and Year 2 wrote some fantastic Advent prayers. 

Reception have been working hard in their daily phonics sessions. They are beginning to segment words into sounds and have a go at spelling without any help! 

Reception have been looking at 2d shapes and identifying circles and triangles. They used fantastic language to describe them such as “triangles have corners” and “circles are round.” We had a go at printing some circle collages to help with our descriptions. 

In Geography we have been identifying features on maps. We looked at how to use an atlas to help us find information. We looked at maps of the United Kingdom and worked out if statements were true or false. Great teamwork!
