We have had a week full of learning in Lime Tree Class!
In English we 'visited' Buckingham Palace and used our imagination to write a description of the palace, inspired by 'Katie in London'.
In maths Year 1 have learnt how to order and compare numbers to 10 using the terms 'less than', 'greater than' and 'equal to'. Year 2 have also learnt how to order and compare numbers, but have progressed their learning by doing this up to 100.
In science we explored our sense of taste by tasting jalapenos, lemons, chocolate and crisps! Some of these flavours were more popular than others....
The children enjoyed some art of Thursday afternoon. We created a fiery background using paint which we will then add silhouettes on top of, to create some Great Fire of London artwork.
Lots of children wanted to stand for School Council and I was amazed at the effort that was put into creating posters. We elected our school council member on Friday afternoon. Well done to everyone who stood for election!
Have a wonderful weekend and see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson

A very autumnal week has come to an end!
In English the children learnt about how to describe a setting from 'Katie in London'. We pretended to go on a boat trip down the river Thames and the children wrote a description about what they could see and hear from the boat. The children practised writing on whiteboards and then wrote their full descriptions into their English books
In art, we have continued to explore different materials. The children experimented with how to blend different colours using chalk.
In maths Year One have continued to explore number within 10 and have learnt how to find one more and one less than a given number. Year Two have continued learning about the place value of two-digit numbers by ordering numbers on a number line.
We will be electing our school council representative on Friday 3rd October, so if your child is interested in standing for election, they need to create a poster outlining why they would be a good representative.
Enjoy the weekend and I'll see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson

We have had a fantastic week in Lime Tree.
In maths Year 1 have continued to work on their knowledge of numbers within 10 including how to count forwards and backwards within 10 and find one more and one less than a given number. Year 2 have continued to understand place value up to 100 and become more confident at partitioning two-digit numbers in a part whole model.
In English the children wrote descriptions about the main character 'Katie' from 'Katie in London'. They worked hard on this and their work is going to go on the display in the corridor for the whole school to see!
In science we have continued learning about the human body and explored our sense of sight. We tried to find our blind spots using a sight experiment and we also did a colouring sheet to identify the odd one out in a repeating pattern.
We have started learning about 'The Great Fire of London' as part of our history topic. This week we focused on understanding what London was like before the fire. The children then sorted pictures into those from the 17th Century and those from today.
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday,

Another week has flown by. The children have amazed me with how well they have all settled and how well they are following our new classroom routines; well done Lime Tree Class!
In maths, Year 1 have continued learning about numbers within 10. The children have learnt to represent numbers to 10 in different ways and are beginning to recognise numbers as words as well as numerals and pictures. Year 2 have continued learning about place value in two digit numbers and have explored representing these numbers using a place value chart.
In English we started reading 'Katie in London'. The children made predictions about the plot of the story, using the front cover and blurb. Year 2 then did some work on using the dictionaries and sorting words alphabetically whilst Year 1 completed a word hunt around the classroom. The children wrote then their own description of one of the characters from the book and read their work aloud to their peers.
We have also started exploring different pencil techniques as part of an introduction to art and the children experimented with blending different colours with varying degrees of pressure.
In PSHE we completed one of our 'MindMate' lessons and name different feelings and sorted these into 'comfortable' and 'uncomfortable' feelings.
It was lovely to meet you at the 'Meet the Teacher' event after school on Wednesday and put some names to faces.
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday.
