Hi my lovely Ladybirds 🐞 ,

this week is the last but one for tasks on here .

Try some of these ... 

I will see you all soon. Stay safe and happy xxxx

Your homework for this coming week will be arriving by post!

Keep an eye out and make sure you have a red teacher pen ready!

Stay safe and I'll see you soon xx heartheart

Hi everyone, this week I would like you to read and listen to as many Roald Dahl stories as you can.

Matilda is my favourite, see if it's yours too.

Matilda wanted to go to school so badly, but her father thought it was more important for her to stay home and watch television. What do you think, who do you agree with?

Fold your page in half, write School at the top of one half and Television at the top of the other. Now use bullet points to write the advantages of each...

eg. Television is good because you can see and learn about different parts of the World without actually visiting there.

or... School is important because we learn to cooperate with others.

Try and fill your page with ideas about each.

I  think you may even need 2 pages for your fabulous ideas.

Use dice and roll a fabulous story.

I can't wait to read it.

Good evening everyone, I hope you are all well. Here are some activities for you to try this week....
Read through these information cards and have a go at creating your own fact cards about some unusual minibeasts.

Click on the document and have a try of the comprehension about minibeasts.

 

Here are some minibeast maths challenges for you...

A minibeast song for you to listen to and enjoy....

 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utWrIWq2_tk

Have fun creating your own fingerprint minibeasts...

Finally, here is a favourite story for you to listen to.....

Hi everyone I hope you are all keeping well. 

 

 

 

We'll learn about snails and slugs

this week. Try some of these activities.

 

Try writing out this poem in your best handwriting.

Now print it out,cut up the words and reassemble it in the shape of the shell.

Please keep working through all your GOLD levels on ACTIVE LEARN I look at your accounts every week and can see when you are on there. I'm impressed with so many of you WELL DONE !  

Hi everyone,

I thought that you could use this week to look back over all tasks and activities and complete any that you haven't had time to do. I think you may have enough without me giving you even more. PLEASE keep reading every day as I can't wait to listen to you again and see how much you have improved (and you were already fabulous!)

Who would have thought a little daisy could create such learning and fun !!!

Here are some past test papers for you to help your child practice .

Don't worry if there are some questions they can't answer ,as we may not have covered those areas yet.

Just work through them slowly as they will also  familiarise the children with the way the tests are laid out . Tell the children to draw spots/ten towers or any pictures that help them solve the maths questions.

I hope this is useful. Thank you for all your support at home.

Ice Time happens every week .This is when the children choose their own learning.Some clips from this weeks Ice activities for you .

We had such a brilliant morning.We searched through a box that Mrs.Evans found in her Aunty Trish ‘s house in Lyme Regis ,England.

Eventually we discovered that they belonged to Mary Anning ,the greatest fossil hunter in the World!

Some pictures of our first week .More will follow .

We must remember them.

Today we had a very inspirational visit from an exciting athlete.

Welcome to the Autumn Term.

Our topic is The Enchanted Woodland.

We have been very busy during the last few weeks and we hope you enjoy looking at photographs of some of our activities.

Please enjoy using the following learning sites at home ;

 

We have fun learning new skills.

Primary football stars

We found lots of worms during our soil survey.

This term we loved making Gruffalo crumble.

We enjoyed making friends with our trees

11th October 2017

We enjoyed creating Woodland animals compositions in our Music lesson this morning.

Between the Lions: "When Two Vowels Go Walking"

Our favourite video at the moment .

It's a good job that we are much better than Mrs.Evans at building things and solving problems ....even with our help ,reading the instructions and telling her what to do ...she still couldn't put our model T-Rex together

One of our favourite ways of learning our multiplication tables is by singing them.

Harri singing our 3 x tables is our favourite at the moment.

Try it at home ,I guarantee you'll sing along too !

We absolutely loved finding out how big dinosaurs actually were !

We had a great time in our Christmas party today!

Following our visit to the museum ,we found out that the youngest child would have had to share the same bath water as all the family!

We raised money for Children in Need. Thank you for helping us.

We realised that we were using lots of maths skills when we made our  Pudsey biscuits. 

We love using real clay.

We watched a brilliant show and found out so much about bacteria and keeping germs away.

Welcome to the new term .

Thank you for attending our initial meeting.

Our first topic is Superheroes and we are really enjoying designing our own characters to rescue our heroes from blocks of ice !!! 

 

We loved Roald Dahl day and chose our own magical Matilda powers .We read some of his stories and used a power point to learn about his life.  

We couldn't believe how tall he was and used our metre sticks to recreate  his height . Mr. Dahl would need to bend over to get through our classroom door ( he was the same height as Riley and Dilan )

 

 

 

We have started learning many more spelling patterns. Last week was ow and ou and we created a long list all on our own .

For us to stay as strong as our Superheroes we  must eat super healthy food .

We loved preparing and cooking our super pasta .

Counting back to zero from 100 and ordering 2 digit numbers was a little bit tricky but we can do it !

We loved playing a tens and units game ,making our own numbers.

Oh No ! Our superheroes have been frozen by Dr. Ice .We planned our rescue attempts and thought of the fastest way to melt the ice blocks. Hairdryers ,bowls of hot water,pouring warm water and a hot water bottle were our weapons .

This may look like a very simple diamond 9 task ,but the discussions went on for some time until an agreement was made !!!

We love singing along to our 3 times tables song.

 

 
Next term our new topic is Wriggle and Crawl.

As part of our SPLENDID SKIES topic we have been....

 

 

As part of our Splendid Skies topic we have been...

designing and making mazes.We worked with a partner to solve this tricky problem,which was far more difficult than we thought it would be! Using wind force (blowing through straws )we then guided a ping pong ball through the mazes.

​We have also looked at paintings that show lots of movement by different artists and tried to work in the same style  showing the wind rushing through the trees in our environmental area.  

Blow Painting Fun !

We wrote postcards to use as labels for our balloon race . We were so excited and can't wait to see if anyone finds them and returns them to school. We wonder whose balloon will travel the furthest ?????

Thank you for your wonderful WIND powered models. They are fantastic and it was so lovely to listen to the children's  reports of how you made them together . Thank you again for your support . 

Wind power in food ????surprise

We read ,followed and made a delicious CHEESY WINDMILL recipe.

Mrs. Evans tried this at home angel ......Not as tasty as the ones they brought home !!!!

Our new topic is SPLENDID SKIES. We are using Mary Poppins to introduce the weather aspect of this theme.

We have looked at and worked in the style of Renoir too.

We have used our maths skills to weigh our ingredients.

Our bara brith was delicious.

We have been studying the artist Paul Klee. We enjoyed creating many different tints in our paintings.

We have been learning to retell and write the story of Rapunzel.

Once upon a time in a forest ,far beyond the tall, proud pine trees there lived.......

(ask your child to finish the story )

 

We have found an easy way to add and subtract 9's and 11's........  by  adding and subtracting 10 first, then adding one unit or subtracting one unit ! We are improving every day. 

When I grow up .........

We love cooking and have fantastic cookery teachers (except Mrs. Evans ......who can't boil an egg properly !)sad

We developed lots of new skills when we made our Christmas cards. We worked very hard to make the POP OUTS ! We used an art package to create our covers and we altered the size,style and colour of our fonts when we wrote the messages to you,

Our fantastic ladybird creations made from recycled materials. Well done everyone ,we think they are brilliant.

Our winner was Mia Watkins.

Look out Monty Don !!! We have been investigating bulbs and planted quite a few !

Artists at work. We have improved our observational skills and our still life drawings were fantastic.

During our science investigation we used our sense of smell to decide many things .One of these was to decide if the smell was from something edible.

Decisions,decisions !

We have been solving a problem for Santa .

We have designed a Christmas plate with three sections ready for Santa's snacks . We are making them out of clay .

We solved a big problem for Santa !! He didn't want his snacks to touch each other !! So we have designed and made a special plate for Christmas Eve.

 The Active learn website is used to support our maths work in school.

You can now use these games at home and your child can increase their skills and understanding through play.

I am able to monitor the levels and will keep a record for each child.

The children absolutely love the games , so I hope you enjoy them too.

 

We have been learning about the artist Georgia O'Keefe. She painted lots of flowers.

For part of her life she lived at the top of a towering hotel and she became sad when she looked out of the window because people were rushing around ,not noticing the beautiful flowers by their feet. She decided to paint these tiny flowers HUGE , because she wanted people to take notice of  them.
