Another week of working hard and learning lots of new things in Year 1!

In RE we have been looking at a Psalm and as a class we came up with our own prayer in response. We thought about all of the things that we are thankful for and said thank you to God.

In English we started to explore a new book called ‘Aaaarrgghh Spider’. Mrs Daniels and Mrs Days were both a little bit nervous about reading it in case a spider jumped out, but thankfully it didn’t. We will be doing lots of writing next week about it!

In Maths we have been learning how to spell the numbers up to ten as words. We have been using our fabulous phonics to help us!

We have started a new Geography topic and we are leaning all about cities, in particular Durham. Lots of children were excited to tell me all about visits they have had to Durham.

We are looking forward to another busy week next week!

Another week has whizzed by in Year 2!

In writing, we have been exploring Goldilocks and the Three Bears.  We have listened carefully to hear how adjectives can be used to describe and then created our own descriptions.

Look at this amazing writing from Esther and Emily. We really liked the fact that Goldilocks had little, red shoes.

In maths, we have been exploring numbers up to 100. We have created them using different resources like base 10 and numicon.

Then we explored partitioning them. We split the numbers in to tens and ones and then found out we could swap a ten for ten ones! This meant we could partition in lots of different ways.

In computing, we have continued to explore I.T. We have thought about the I.T. we see in school and how we use it. We used the computers to sort I.T. into different uses.

Have a lovely weekend from all of us in Year 2.

We have had another fantastic week in Year 1!

In RE we have continued to explore families and we have thought about how we belong to so many families, including our home, school and God’s families.

In English we did some brilliant role play using dragon puppets. The children took their roles very seriously and put on a great performance.

We have been developing our counting skills in Maths this week and the children have focused on counting carefully and accurately.

The children have created amazing Art work with Mrs Days, look at the self-portraits and Picasso inspired pictures by Seren, Mabel and Lucy!

Well done Year 1, looking forward to lots more fun and learning next week!

We have had a fantastic first week back in Year 2.

We have risen to the challenge and already exceeded Mrs Pearson’s expectations!

In English, we imagined a school without rules after sharing a story together. We wrote about how the children felt when they had no rules and how they decided to solve the problem.

Look at this fantastic writing from Josh and Ben.

In Music, we have thought about how music can help us make friends. We listened to the music and then made friends with each other. This was a great way to welcome the new member of our class.

In Computing, we explored what I.T. means and what information technology is. We found out computers are I.T. and anything that needs a computer to work is I.T.

We created a list of things that are I.T. and things that are not. We thought having a mouse in both groups was rather funny!

After all of our hard work we enjoyed our Golden Time at the end of the week.

We have had a fabulous week and Mrs Pearson cannot wait to see the amazing thing we achieve this year.

We have had a wonderful first week in Year 1 and everybody has settled in really well!

In RE we have been thinking about who is in our families and our discussions have really helped us to get to know each other. We created our families using pebbles!

In English we have started reading a funny story called ‘Who’s our New Teacher?’ and the children had great fun imagining who it could be. We have done some excellent descriptive sentences about the new teacher. Well done everyone!

In Maths we have been sorting objects and giving reasons for our choices. The children have impressed us with their mathematical vocabulary.

We are already looking forward to more fun and learning next week!

We cannot believe it is the end of the year!

We have finished off with another busy week.

Finally, we finished our glove puppets. We followed our designs carefully and then used step-by-step instructions to make them.

Some of us created our own templates to use. Some of us used fabric glue but most of us sewed. We really did work had on our project and took great pride in our work.

We were so proud we went to EYFS to share our puppets. It was great to see how enthusiastic the younger children were and they asked some great questions.

We have also thought a lot about the treasures in our world this week. We have thought about how God created the world so all living things are treasures. We thought about the view out of our window and how we can ensure that this treasure is not lost. We thought that we could turn the tap off when we brush our teeth and try to do activities which don’t use electricity. What is the view from your window?

Thank you Year 2 for an amazing year. You have all worked your socks off and done yourselves proud…..and because of this we think you deserve a few weeks off!

Enjoy the summer and stay safe.
