Thoughtful Thursday

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!
Catapults!
We had great fun making our catapults last week during our family learning. This week we have been writing our science investigation ready to test them …
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 .
Collaboration in Maths
Class Five have been busy solving problems together. Super communication skills – well done everyone.

Thoughtful Thursday
We spent our Thoughtful Thursday celebrating Maths Week 2024. We shared work we are proud of from our maths books and then grappled over some problems together!
Lest we forget.
As part of our Remberance Day celebrations Nursery learned why we wear poppy’s around this time of year, as a mark of respect for the fallen and serving armed forces. The children explored remembrance through a simple story thinking of days we would like to remember and days we’d like to forget, titled Lest We Forget by Kerry Brown.
We learned some simple actions to help the children embed the story into their minds about what happened on the battle fields, imagining that the children were bunny rabbits at that time. The children pretended to be aeroplanes that flew over the bunnies and then bombs that dropped, exploding like fireworks. The children show empathy for the bunnies, understanding that they would “be hurt”, “die” or “be scared” and “frightened”.
The children then made poppies from creative materials, play dough and paint to show their thanks to our soldiers and service people. Wow!! Beautiful work in big moments.
