Week 7
This week the children have enjoyed a visit to Washington Wetland Centre. The class listened to Ava's story and completed activities throughout the morning. The children watched the otters being fed and learnt lots of interesting facts. They also saw flamingos, swans, geese and ducks. At the end of the day the children had some time to play at the park. It was great to see them having fun and enjoying the visit. Their behaviour was excellent and you can all be very proud. In Art this week the children created an Andy Warhol style portrait of Mr MingStones. We finished our Geography topic comparing hot and cold countries around the world and wrote about Captain Scott's trip to the South Pole.

In class this week the children have been very busy and working incredibly hard. In English they have described the big bad wolf from the story of the Deep Dark Woods.

In Maths we have continued to focus on place value including ordering amounts and numbers, using a number line, fact families and number bonds to 10 and 100. In P.E. the class were completing time challenges and counting in 2's, 5's and 10's. In Art we created an abstract portrait in the style of Picasso. In Geography the children have used maps and overlays to locate hot and cold places. In Bush Craft the class enjoyed creating their own hedgehogs using clay and twigs.

Week 1
The children have been superstars this week and have settled into class and daily routines. The children have created their own class rules and signed a class charter. In the mornings the children have been taking their time in handwriting lessons. In Maths the year one children have ordered numbers to 20 and the the year twos have solved the missing numbers up to 100. The children have completed getting to know you activities and recapped their phonic sounds. It has been great to see how many children have read at home with a grown up this week. Thank you for supporting your child and taking the time to listen to them.
