  • What were holidays like 100 years ago?

    Published 16/06/23

    This week in English we have been learning to use suffixes.  We have looked at the suffixes 'er' and 'est and used them to write comparative sentences.  We have also looked at using 's' and 'es' to make words plural.  In Maths, we have been learning to find doubles and halves of different amounts and finding halves of shapes.  The children enjoyed taking their Maths outside this week to work practically.  

    In Science, we looked at what plants need in order to grow.  We planted potatoes outside our classrooms and can't wait to see them grow!  The children looked at mixes primary colours in Art, to make secondary colours, and produced some lovely artwork. In History, we looked at what holidays in Britain were like 100 years ago.

  • What is a prefix?

    Published 08/06/23

    This week is English, we have been learning about prefixes.  We have been focussing on the prefix 'un' and how this can change the meaning of the root word.  We have also been having some additional phonics practice in preparation for the phonics screening check next week.

    In Maths, we have been working practically to recognise equal and unequal groups.  We have also been adding in 2s, 5s and 10s to help us add equal groups and we have been learning how to make arrays.

    The children really enjoyed learning about primary colours in Art, and how they can make secondary colours using them.  We used play dough to mix the colours and made purple, green and orange.  In Science, we looked at the different plants that grow around our school and in History we looked at the features of a seaside holiday.
