Hope you all stay well!

Spring 2 Week 3

This week was National Science Week. We were busy all week being Scientists!.

First we thought of questions we would like to ask about biscuits. Then we received a special job from Mrs Heymoz to find out the best biscuit for dunking. As a class we planned a fair test and found out Hobnobs were the best biscuits to dunk and Nice were the worst biscuits. We learnt about the scientist Donald Palmer and his work studying infections and how germs spread. We sprayed some blue water on paper and watched how the water spread like germs do. Mrs Worrell spoke to us about how she uses Science in her job as a nurse. We did many Explorify activities to develop our explanation and reasoning skills. The parents gave some good reasons on celebration morning.

On Friday, it was lovely to have the parents and grandparents in class. The children loved telling you about their learning and taking seeing you part in the cotton wool and water experiment.

Home Learning

Please write all number bonds to 10 and some to 20.

Please practise reading the real and nonsense words.

Spellings—thief, chief, field, pie, cried, tried, dried, night, bright, light

Have a good weekend.

In English we have continued with The Tin Forest. We have made some lovely animals and  trees for our corridor display.

In Science we put some caterpillars into some special caterpillar food and we will observe the changes over the next few weeks. The children are very excited about them turning into butterflies.

A great week back!  It was lovely to see you all at Parents’ evening, I hope you enjoyed looking at your children’s  learning.

Our Whole School Writing focus is on the book The Tin Forest. The children have been writing some wonderful descriptions of the main character and the setting. We have been creative with the boxes the children collected to make wonderful animals and trees for our forest.

In Maths we have been naming and describing 2D shapes. The children went on a shape hunt around the school. What shapes can you find at home?

The Year 1’s took part in the KS1 Act of Worship on Wednesday to begin Lent.  On Friday the children added their Lenten promises to the school Lenten tree.

Week 6

This week we have been doubling and halving. Please practise all the doubles and halves to 10.

In Science we predicted what would happen to different foods when they were heated. Then we tested them to see if our predictions were correct. We were also given a task to help Cinderella find the most absorbent paper to clean the floor. After careful observations we found that kitchen roll was more absorbent than paper or blue hand towels.

In English the children wrote wonderful poems and performed them to the class. We have amazing poets in the class!

As part of Other Faith Week we took part in a workshop about Judaism. The children learnt about many of the Jewish traditions.

Last Friday we made clay leaves. We had great fun!

We had great fun at the Valentine’s Disco!

Have a lovely holiday.
