From the Classroom

Term 1 - (Weeks 1 & 2)

Maths 

The children have been working exceptionally hard in maths to develop their understanding of place value. We've used place value counters to represent and partition numbers to 10,000. Some children even shared how much they enjoyed maths after our flexible partitioning lesson!

Forest School

Despite the rain, the children had fun at forest school this week gathering leaves, acorns and twigs to make a piece of artwork inspired by Andy Goldsworthy. 

Term 1 (Weeks 4 & 5)

DT

The children have been busy designing and making their own board games, inspired by their favourites. We have seen creative versions of  Hungry Hippos, Snap, Guess Who,  and Hook a Duck. The children were very keen to bring their ideas to life and had fun sharing and playing their games afterwards. 

Term 1 (Week 6)

Hello Yellow Day 

This week the children have discussed Mental Health ready for 'Hello Yellow' Day. We have talked about what Mental Health is and how we can look after it. After visiting the Nurture Room to relax ourselves, the children shared some things they do at home to regulate their emotions, stay calm, focused and remain happy. We also shared how we deal with different emotions both at school and outside of school. The children thoroughly enjoyed playing wellbeing bingo and using the yellow props for some 'Hello Yellow' photos.
