Shrinky Dink

What a fun afternoon in class five! We spent the afternoon exploring and playing with shrinky dink paper. We worked hard to figure out how it works (and how it doesn’t!). We are really looking forward to seeing how it will help us with our final product.

We created some great pieces already – take a look.

Christmas Maths

This week in class six we have been immersed in the Christmas spirit, even in our maths lessons. Today we have been helping Santa sorting presents into different groups depending on their shape.

Thoughtful Thursday

Thoughtful Thursday really got our brains working this morning! We had to work together try try and solve the puzzle – there was lots of communicating and resilience shown!

Super job year two crews

Starting the week off right

This morning we told our partner all the things we have been busy with this weekend then we had to circle up and tell our crew what our partner had been up to. Lots of smiles and careful listening.

Well done

Maths Courage

I’ve been so impressed this morning with children showing their Maths courage and modelling our subtraction methods to the whole class. Lots of respectful agreeing and disagreeing to make sure we all arrived at the correct answer.

Craftsmanship and Quality in Maths

We have been looking for craftsmanship and quality in Maths today – Class 5 did not disappoint! The effort and concentration the children put into completing some subtraction problems using number lines was fantastic to see. We quickly discovered that for our strategy to work we needed to really think about our presentation and create some beautiful Maths.

Look how proud we are!

Compassion

Yesterday we were thinking about what our character trait of compassion looks like, feels like and sounds like in our classroom. Look at all this people we spotted showing compassion in our room!

World Kindness Day.

Last week we celebrated World Kindness day on Wednesday 13th November as part of our continuing expedition “Be Kind – How do we show we care?”

During our current and final case study “Where do we live in the world?” The children have began to explore differences between them and their home to that of others around the world, through our key text “My World, Your World” by Melanie Walsh. We have examined key vocabulary which helped us to understand some of our differences, such as “Sari”, “Snowboots”, “Chopsticks” and “Flats”.

Nursery practised thinking about differences between each other, staff and toys to help them understand what a difference is. We then celebrated these differences by making Kindness Wands, using breadsticks, icing and sprinkles to spread kindness everywhere.

At the end of the week the children were thinking about Children in Need and how the cause helps to bring happiness to children that are less fortunate or sick. We made a huge Pudsey Bear collage out of coloured papers, working collaboratively .
