Investigating through play
In Geography we are answering the question, “What is it like to live at the coast?” Our provision has had a seaside theme with an under the sea reading den, beach cafe, sea creatures and shells to explore!
Natural materials
We worked in teams to collect natural materials in the playground to create some simple animal shelters. We used twigs, sticks, stones and leaves and shared our ideas for a strong structure.
Year 1 maths
Year 1 have been extending their number knowledge to one hundred. They have been partitioning into tens and ones using practical resources.
Is The Gingerbread Man waterproof?
We are completing science experiments this half term with a story focus and to revise our knowledge from the year. We used our observation skills over five minutes to watch changes when The Gingerbread Man got wet! He was very soggy and had absorbed lots of water!
Variation
Oak Class learned about inherited variation and environmental variation. The children identified similarities and variation between species and considered what can cause such differences. We also learned about Charles Darwin’s research on the Galápagos Islands and his discovery of variation…
PE in the sun
We made the most of the weather today! We worked individually and with a partner to develop our ball skills. Great teamwork!
Visit Standon Bowers!
After a fantastic residential, the children wrote their own persuasive leaflets for the future Oak Class to persuade them to go on our school trip!
Driver Training!
Oak Class we’re joined by Dr Allen, who led a driver training workshop for us in preparation for our Greenpower Race Day! We learned a lot and had lots of fun too!
Digital writing
We have been using the iPads to develop our typing skills. We know how to use the keys to type words, how to change the font size and the colour. Some of the children even added an emoji!
River Safety
Willow Class finished their learning in Geography by learning about the risks associated with the River Mease. The children shared some fantastic ideas before creating their own posters!
Gardening fun!
We had a lovely time this afternoon planting pea and cucumber seeds. We placed our pots carefully in the polytunnel and we will check them each week. Special thanks to Oliver’s parents for helping us!
Gardening!
Oak Class loved their planting session on Friday afternoon! We chose to plant peas or cucumbers and we’re really looking forward to seeing their growth in our polytunnel!
