Can you guess our theme of the week? We are having a brilliant week in F1, fighting fires and learning all about the fire brigade. 🔥🚒🧑🚒💦
Y3LJA - We are currently beginning to learn formal methods to multiply 2 -digit numbers by a 1-digit number in Maths, so to help us with our understanding of this we have come out of our White Rose Maths workbooks and got out some manipulatives today.
Y3LJA won the Lower Key Stage Two attendance award before Christmas and as a result the children decided they would like to bring in some games from home to play with their friends. The children have had so much fun doing this this afternoon and they've even taught me how to play uno and ...headbands.
Welcome back and Happy New Year! This week F2 begun their new topic ‘Once Upon A Time’. Their first focus text was ‘The Three Little Pigs’. They begun by reading the story and creating artwork for the classroom display. Next week the children will be using their phonic knowledge to ...write short words from the text. Here are some photos from the week.
Today in PE, Y3NRO began their gymnastics unit focusing 1-4 point balances.
