Year 2

Welcome back, I hope you had a wonderful Easter holiday.

This week in English, we have focused on reading comprehension and SPaG activities. While in maths we have revised telling the time to o’clock, quarter past, half past, quarter to and the nearest 5 minutes.

We have also enjoyed looking for signs of Spring and reading Matthew’s story of the Resurrection.

Have a lovely weekend

Year 1 Summer Term Week 1

Welcome to the Summer Term in Year 1.

Religious Education
This week we celebrated the Rising of Jesus on Easter Sunday. The children worked hard to retell the story, then write it themselves before designing beautiful pictures to represent the cross.

The children worked well together to change our prayer space from the purple Lent to the white and Gold for Easter.

Maths

The children enjoyed learning all about money this week but were a little disappointed to find our resources were pretend plastic money rather than real coins! The children learnt how to recognise the different coins, order them in their values, use different coins to make the different amounts and even how to use money to pay for ice cream! Again, very disappointed when they found out the ice cream was made of tissue paper!

Homelearning-

Friday, 21st April 2023

I hope you all  had a restful and healthy Easter Holiday! It has been lovely to welcome the children back in class and it is fair to say that we had a busy first 5 days.

On Tuesday, we started our tennis unit in PE led by Mr Mills practicing our grip and revising our technique and basic rallying skills.

On Wednesday, we started our new computing unit of Programming, where the children used ‘Logo’ and wrote their own simple code snippet to programme their ‘Logo Turtles’.

On Thursday afternoon, the class also participated in their first percussion music session with great enthusiasm.

In Maths, we looked at adding and subtracting fractions with regrouping whilst in Writing, we started our new unit of explanation text by explaining how some of Wallace and Grommit’s crazy contraptions work.

In Science we introduced Electricity as our new area of learning and in RE, we investigated Matthew’s Gospel about the Resurrection and explained how his words form our beliefs in Jesus. In History, the class moved on to the Tudors whilst in D&T the children created design briefs to start their electricity powered bedside lantern project.

Just a quick note to confirm that our PE days this term will be Mondays and Tuesdays, so children need to come in their PE kits on those days. Please may I also remind you that we need a  photograph of each child to be displayed on our Special Diversity display board. It’s a beautiful area in our hall celebrating our roots, inheritance and language and it is important that all children are represented. Please only send pictures that you are happy to stay in school.

Have a lovely weekend,

Summer 1 Week 1

I hope you had a wonderful Easter holidays.

In English, we read and compared ‘Words are Ours’ and The Magic Box’ poems. Then the children practised reading and performing The Magic Box. They focused on reading with expression, emphasising key words and showing emotions in their face. Then the children used the items that they bought in from home to plan their own poem about their favourite memories. In Design and Technology, they began looking at boxes to support their planning and making of their own magic box.

In Maths, the children have been learning to add and subtraction fractions though problem solving. The children have used cubes and pictures to support their understanding.

In Religion, we have been focusing on Matthew’s story of the Resurrection. The children analysed the text and identified the beliefs that Catholics have frim this story.

For PE for this term, Mr Mills will be teaching the children tennis. The children enjoyed their first lesson and I was impressed with their ball skills. PE days continue to be on Tuesday and Wednesday.
