Screen Printing

Yesterday, the children in Hedgehog Class learnt about the Jamaican national flower which is called a “Lignum Vitae”. “Lignum Vitae” is a Latin name meaning “Wood of Life”. It is a short tree, native to tropical America and the West Indies. It has blue flowers and orange-yellow fruit. The Lignum Vitae is also a very useful tree as it has medicinal properties!

After we had learnt lots of new information about the Jamaican national flower, we then did some sketches of it. The children then did these sketches into some polystyrene tiles, used rollers to cover them in block paint and then printed them on to some paper. We can’t wait to get these displayed in school!

Teddy Bear’s Picnic

Today in Maths, the Reception children had a teddy bear’s picnic. They were learning how to share objects into equal groups. Mrs Farmer gave them a certain amount of food and they had to share them equally between all of the teddy bears that were at the picnic. There was some fantastic mathematical problem solving and reasoning going on during this session. Well done team!

Artful RE

This term in RE, the children in Hedgehog Class have been learning about how they can make a difference in the world. Part of this work has been based on charity work and what we can do to help. We have then linked this to charity work that has been done by people of faith. This week, the children were exploring the story of St Francis of Assisi and his belief that all God’s creatures were special and should be loved and cared for. We then thought of animals that we would particularly like to love and care for, thinking about our recent learning about extinct and endangered animals. The children then started to make some fantastic models using clay of the animal that they would want to love and care for the most. Look at this super work! Well done everyone!

Creative Maths!

Some of the younger children in the class have had a great time learning all about doubling this morning in their maths lesson. Look how creative they were creating beautiful butterflies to find number doubles to 10!

Planting Sunflower Seeds

It’s been a busy couple of weeks in Science for the Year 1 children. Earlier this term, they all planted their own sunflower seed and they’ve been caring for them and watching them grow ever since. We can’t wait to see how big they get!

Forest School

What a fantastic forest school session the children have had today! 🤩 They had a very busy afternoon doing “mud mining” and water collecting. They carried the mud and water to the water barrel where they filled it up and made the base secure. They all worked really hard and there was some fantastic team working going on! Well done team! 🌟

Planning an Audio Book

This term in Computing, the Year 1 & 2 children are creating an audio book. They spent some time comparing the similarities and differences between hard copies of books, eBooks and audio books.

This week, we listened to an audio version of the story “Tiddalik”. We listened really carefully to different sound effects that were used in the story. Then we read the story Cinderella and thought about the different sound effects that we could use for this story. The children were put into pairs and were given a page of the story each to plan as an audio book. They had a fantastic time exploring the different musical instruments in the music room. I can’t wait to hear the finished audio book!

Computing

Since February half term, the Year 1 & 2 children have become illustrators in computing. They have been learning how to use various different tools on a paint programme. After learning all of these new skills (including how to save their work!), they were then challenged to create illustrations for the story “Little Red Riding Hood”.

Click the link to see some of their fantastic work!
