Weekly Update 6.6.25

K Atkinson (k.atkinson) on: Lime Tree Class Blog

We have had a good first week back, 

In English we read our new core text "Somebody Swallowed Stanley" and wrote descriptions of Stanley. 

Year 2 completed their arithmetic SAT this week and there were high scores all round! We will complete the reasoning paper next week. 

Year 1 have recapped place value within 100 and have explored how to partition numbers into tens and ones. 

We learnt about bulbs and seeds today in science and have planted sunflower seeds; we will be observing their growth over the next few weeks. 

Have a lovely weekend and see you again on Monday.

We have lots of fun in our final week before the May half term. 

In DT the children enjoyed testing their lunchboxes in the sunshine. There were some very impressive creations that had strong handles which kept the food inside safe and secure. 

In English, Year 2 have completed their reading SATs; there were strong scores all round and all children have made progress from where they started in September. Year 1 created a new member of The Jolly-Rodgers family, using our core text 'The Pirates Next Door'. 

Have a wonderful May holiday and I'll see you again on Monday 2nd June!

This week has been jam-packed full of learning.

In maths Year 1 have learnt about how to use the bar model to solve addition and subtraction calculations. Year 2 have recapped how to solve addition and subtraction calculations more fluently.

A highlight of the week was on Thursday afternoon where the children made a lunchbox to meet a pirate’s design brief. The children all worked independently and hugely enjoyed the afternoon; we look forward to testing our boxes after the May half term.

     

In computing we continued learning how to use a word processor and this week we learnt how to type in bold and italics, as well as how to underline text.

Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday for the final week of school before the holidays!

The children have enjoyed celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day this week. On Thursday they dressed in blue, red and white and enjoyed a special assembly delivered by Mrs Amos and Miss Cotterill about the history of VE Day. 

In maths this week we have learnt how to solve addition and subtraction missing number calculations using the inverse. In English we have completed lots of practical work to help us to prepare for writing a letter next week!

The children impressed me in DT with their packed lunch box designs and how they met a design brief to design a lunchbox with a strong handle, that's waterproof and is appealing to pirates. They are excited to start building their lunchboxes next week. 

Enjoy the weekend and see you again on Monday!

Another week has flown by!
The children have enjoyed starting our DT topic of 'Pirate Paddy's Lunchbox'. Over the next few weeks we will be designing and making a packed lunch box for a group of pirates! Today we looked at a wicker basket and identified the positives and problems of using this as a lunchbox. We also looked at different examples of packed lunch boxes to get ideas for our lunchbox designs. Thank you to everyone who has been sending in cardboard boxes and fruit punnets to provide materials for the children to use when making their lunchboxes! 
In maths we have continued learning about turns. Year 1 have now learns quarter, half, full and three-quarter turns. Year 2 have begun to apply their knowledge of turns to solve more abstract problems. 
Each child wrote a fantastic recount in English, from the point of view of Matilda from 'The Pirate's Next Door'. We've had a big push on handwriting and correctly forming letters which was evident in their writing this week. 
Enjoy the longer weekend and see you again on Tuesday!
