  • What are the physical and human features of Tocuaro?

    Published 26/05/23

    The children have all worked really hard this term and we are sure are looking forward to a well deserved break!  We have been so impressed at seeing how well their Phonics is doing and the improvements in their reading - Well done Year 1.

    In English this week we have been reading 'Pirate Mums'.  We have been learning about conjunctions and have been using 'and' and 'because' to extend our sentences.  In Maths, we have begun looking at multiplciation and have been practising counting in 2s, 5s and 10s.

    In Computing we have been learning how to stay safe online and the importance of keeping personal information private. The children enjoyed learning about how temperature changes through the seasons in Science and in Geography they made some brilliant comparisons of the physical and human features in Worcester Park to Tocuaro in Mexico.

    We were very lucky to have Nabhi visit us on Tuesday and explain to us all about his Hundu faith.

  • Which smoothie was your favourite?

    Published 12/05/23

    This week we have been learning how to write instructions in English.  We have looked at the features of instruction writing and identified different time adverbs and imperative verbs that can be used.

    In Maths, we have been looking at measuring mass using non-standard units.  The children were identifying weights of different objects and comparing their mass.

    In DT we made three different smoothies.  The children all got a chance to taste each one and were excited to try new things.  Despite not liking the look of the green one (with spinach), the children were surprised that they liked it.
