Andreae - Reception
This week we arrived to school on Monday to find all four butterflies had emerged from their chrysalides. We released them outside when we returned to school after our trip. Monday was our trip to Butterfly World. Reception class were amazing on the trip, we learnt a lot more about butterflies, as well as getting to meet some snakes and reptiles and feed the koi. We also made some lovely hanging baskets that we bought back to school. This week was World Bee day and we learnt some very interesting facts about bees and made some bees to take home using egg cartons. We have been applying our writing skills to write about our trip to Butterfly World and write about our favourite parts. In Maths we have looked at shapes this week and different patterns and pictures that you can make with shapes. We have also been busy making some minibeast themed head bands, as today Reception had their well-deserved marble treat. We had a bug ball and enjoyed making different crafts and going for a minibeast hunt.

Rosen - Year 1
What a fantastic and busy first week we have had in Rosen Class! In English we started the week by discussing the concept of being 'lost' and related this to our own experiences. We then made predictions about our new book 'Beegu.' We revealed a picture bit by bit and the class had some amazing prediction ideas. We then read the book and expressed our opinions about what we like or dislike. In Maths we have been building on our knowledge of our number bonds to 10. We have been learning all about addition and using the 'count all' and 'count on' strategies. We have started History this term and this week we spoke all about toys! We spoke about what toys are like today and the class loved sharing what their favourite toy is!

Foster - Year 2
This week in Year 2, we have continued our learning on the Arctic. We have discovered what the physical features of the Arctic are. We have used maps to find out which animals live in the Arctic circle and how they are able to live in such a cold place. We have explored cities and towns in the Arctic Circle as well as comparing an Arctic town to a city in the United Kingdom. In English, we have been learning how to use apostrophes for singular possession. We have been writing a description of a topiary. We have used rich vocabulary, pairs of adjectives with commas and examples of possessive apostrophes. In Maths, we have continued with measurement. This week we have been learning how to measure in litres, measure and read temperatures using a thermometer.

Coelho - Year 3
We have had a productive first week back and have made a fantastic start to adding and subtracting fractions in Maths. We are able to use models to support our understanding of this learning and know that when we add or subtract fractions with the same denominator, the denominator does not change, we just add, or subtract, the numerators. In Writing, we have recapped the punctuation and layout for direct speech and have employed this in writing a dialogue related to the novel we have been reading together in class, 'The Wild Robot'. We are enjoying this novel and have fun predicting what is going to happen. In the mornings, we have been enjoying our Active8 activities, which we have been doing in the place of playtime and they have helped to give us a fun brain-break between our sessions of morning learning.

Blake - Year 5
This week Year 5 have continued to explore percentages in maths and how to represent their values in different ways. Our writing focus has been editing the alternative ending of 'The Highwayman'. On the water, we continued with our sailing sessions and tried to sail a triangular course which had been created for us. There has been lots of resilience shown by all of Year 5 when learning and applying a new skill. To end this week, Year 5 had an outreach workshop to highlight and raise awareness of the significance of the white-tailed sea eagle and how we can support its existence in our world. Well done Year 5 for the focus and dedication demonstrated in your learning this week.

Gorman - Year 6
In Year 6 this week we planned and prepared for our fundraising event. Our class charity is Aspire. We researched gluten-free, vegan and other cupcake recipes. We then calculated the amount of ingredients we would need to make 60 cupcakes. We worked together in small groups to bake the cupcakes. We iced them with some very colourful icing and then decided on a reasonable price. We also made cardboard picture frames-recycling the numerous boxes we have in school for prop making for 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. We decorated the frames and put our classroom photos inside ready to sell at our fundraising afternoon. We worked really well in groups, supporting each other with the measuring and cutting as we constructed the frames. Our final task was to create posters promoting our wonderful products. It was lovely to welcome family members into our classroom along with Karen Eeles, the fundraising manager from Aspire.
