Maths Week is Here!

During Maths Week we had lots of fun playing Maths games such as 4 in a Row and Snakes and Ladders. We really enjoyed solving some picture simultaneous equations. We also learned about Tangrams. We designed our own Tangram shapes and arranged them in various ways to make different Tangram pictures. This was a little tricky at first but with some practice we started to find it easier. We also went on a Maths Trail outside our school and among the things we had to spot were the different shapes in the school grounds, the number of different colour cars in the car park and the number of windows in the school as well as finding the year the school was built! We had great fun working with our groups to find the answers! A very enjoyable Maths week was had by all.

Hello Summer - Beach Scene Paintings

Given the sunny weather in May the 1 st and 2nd class children have been bringing the beach to life with their sand and sea beach scene paintings. The children painted beautiful seaside landscapes and brought of sense of individualism to their work by adding in colourful flip-flops they each designed. They also added other items of interest such as beach balls, sandcastles, crabs etc. These paintings are now proudly displayed in outside our classroom, spreading a bit of summer joy to everyone who walks by.

Garden Bird Projects

We are practising many skills during our garden bird groupwork projects. We are learning how to source information, rewrite key facts in our own words as well as building on sharing, listening, taking turns and working together. We are having great fun and we are learning lots about birds we see in our gardens and school grounds. Stay tuned for the finished projects!

Summer Dioramas

The boys and girls were busy little bees this May as they dived into a fun and creative project — designing and building their very own "At the Beach" summer dioramas! The children transformed shoe-boxes and recycled materials into miniature beach scenes with sandy shores, sun umbrellas, crabs, sandcastles, surfboards and undersea creatures to name but a few included. It was wonderful to see the children's creativity, spatial awareness and teamwork skills on show. Take a look at their fantastic creations below!
