  • What does it mean to be a good friend?

    Published 20/10/22

    This week has been very busy, with lots of exciting activities for the children to take part in! We have been wrapping up this half term’s topic, and have been so impressed by how much the children have remembered about Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole - and they particularly enjoyed our Kahoot quizzes. They have also been reviewing some of our sentence types in English and have amazed us with their exclamations! In Maths, we have also revised using ten frames and number lines for adding and subtracting. Finally, we have ended the week with a workshop all about how to be a good friend. We have sent all of the children home with a spelling/handwriting booklet and hope that between all the fun activities over half term, they can find some calm time to practise their handwriting and spelling of key words (plus there are some mindfulness colouring pages for when they need a break).

  • What is the best material for a monster to be made from?

    Published 14/10/22

    This week we started by exploring World Mental Health day, and talked lots about how to look after our minds, bodies and hearts to be happy and healthy. Across the week we have been learning how to use first-person perspective in our writing, as we imagined we were Florence Nightingale and wrote up our diary. In Maths, we have been adding and subtracting numbers using number lines and ten frames to help us understand how to make bridges across a ten. In History, we earned about Mary Seacole and how she was both similar and different to Florence Nightingale. Finally, we have finished the week by making a material monster, which the children have decorated wonderfully. We were also lucky enough to have a visitor to tell us all about Diwali and let the children dress up and take part in the story he told about the origins of the holiday.
