Super Shape Work
We have all been very busy learning lots about shape. The children have been doing lots of practical investigate activities to help them to confidently name and describe 2D and 3D shapes.
Terrific Tudor Houses
We have been busy today putting the finishing touches to our Tudor houses, the children have yet again amazed me with how brilliantly they have cooperated and supported each other, superstars!
Amazing Teamwork
What amazing work today. The children worked so hard to assemble their houses from the shapes they had chosen and worked brilliantly as teams to make their houses. We used wooden sticks to strengthen the model just like real Tudor houses. Next we will focus on adding details to make our model…
DT Making a Prototype
This afternoon we worked in teams to use paper shapes to have a go at making a model house. We soon realised that the paper was very floppy and flexible and so we needed to make it stronger. Some people tried using card because it was thicker and stiffer. We also used straws to help strengthen…
DT Investigating Shapes
Today we used the plastic shapes to help us develop our ideas about how to build a house. We thought about which shapes worked best and learnt lots about 3D shapes. We made cubes,cuboid, pyramids and triangular prisms. Some of us got creative and tried other shapes too. Working out which…

Amazing adding
This week we have been using the part whole model to help us develop our understanding of the symbols + and =. The model is made up of one circle for each part ( the numbers that are to be added together) these are joined to a larger circle where the parts can be put together and we car work out…
Colourful chameleons
As part of our topic we have found out lots about different reptiles. We were all really amazed by how Chameleons can change their colour to camouflage themselves. We mixed lots of different shade and blended them using different patterns to help our chameleons hide. Can you guess whether we…
Super teamwork
We have been learning about greater than and less than and ordering numbers by size. Today the children had to make 3 different numbers using only 10 cubes and order them from smallest to greatest. We found lots of different ways and there were lots of great discussions. Why not practise at…
Working together...
The children did an amazing job today. We were working as a team to create a collage for our classroom of our wonderful world. We chatted about all the things that we like about our world and the thinks that make it special. We talked about how we must work together to help our world stay…
Meet a Creature
What an amazing day we had! Dean the animal ranger brought all kinds of animals to meet us. We learnt lots about the different types of animals and about what they need to survive. We played some games that helped us to learn about how to classify animals and about the different groups of…
Super Snakes
Our class book is all about reptiles. We have been learning lots of new things for example that all reptiles have dry skin that is covered with scales. This week have been taking a closer look at snakes and the amazing patterns that they have on their scales. we had a go at painting our own…
