We have reached the end of another week. It has been a hot one!
In English we have been writing Information Texts about the Explorers we have learnt about in our topic. The children have done some amazing pieces of work on Amelia Earhart and Captain James Cook. I have been very impressed with the knowledge about these famous explorers that they have remembered.
In maths we have been recapping on money. The children have been focusing on finding change.
The children have been busy in DT completing their bunting. They will need to continue with this next week and then evaluate their finished pieces.
It was lovely to see some of you on Wednesday for our viewing of the Homework Garden Projects. The children all did a super job and it was lovely to see so many different ideas.
Please remember the Disco on Monday. The children need to come to school in their Disco clothes (sensible shoes please). They will leave at the end from their usual cloakroom doors.
Have a great weekend in the sunshine!

The children have been busy this week, as usual!
We have continued our poetry unit this week. The children have been writing Ocean Inspired Shape Poems again. I have been very impressed with their creativity when putting their poems into a shape. We have also listened to the story of the 'Snail and the Whale' to give us some ideas.
In maths we have been solving more 'Open Ended' Puzzles. Once again, the children have shown great determination and resilience trying to find the solutions.
In our topic work we have been learning about Captain James Cooke.We talked about the places he explored and what he brought back, including plants. This linked nicely with our trip to 'Harlow Carr Gardens' on Wednesday.
The children all had an amazing time on the trip. We spent the day exploring the gardens and had a workshop specifically exploring the trees, plants and wildlife in their Woodland Area. The lady delivering the workshop was very impressed with their Science knowledge of all things to do with plants, as was I.
Hopefully the children have nearly finished their Garden Homework Projects. Some children have already brought theirs in and they look amazing! We will be displaying them next Wednesday after school. We hope that you can come along and look at the children's creations.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Another week that has whizzed by in a flash!
In English, this week, we have started our unit of work on Shape Poems. We have been looking at some different shapes poems and talking about how poems are written differently to other pieces of writing. We talked lots about lines of poetry and not sentences. The children worked in pairs to write their own Ocean Themed Shape Poem. They used their purple pens to edit and improve them and then wrote a neat copy. Next week we will be writing some more poems.
In maths we have been solving some puzzle type problems. We have solved puzzles using numicon and digit cards.
The highlight of this week was our visit from 'Prickly Pigs'. This Otley based charity came on Thursday to talk to the children about the work they do with hedgehogs and how the children can help to protect and keep them safe. Thank you to all of you for your generous donations of cat and dog food.
We also had our Make The Rules Day today which the children all enjoyed.
Next week we have our trip to Harlow Carr Gardens. The children have all been given a note today with important information and reminders about this trip. Any questions please come and ask.
I can't believe we only have 3 more weeks left. I am sure they will be very busy ones.
Happy Weekend!
