Penguin Facts
In Geography we have been learning about hot and cold countries and the polar regions.
in English today we have been using the chrome books to research information about penguins in view to writing a fact file.
Sharing equally in maths!
We used raisins in our maths today to explore sharing fairly and equally. We placed 10 raisins on a tens frame. We knew the tens frame needed to be full to make 10. We talked about and noticed odd and even and part/whole. Then we shared the raisins between 2 groups and discussed dividing fairly…
Painting the sky
In art today we completed our final piece and painted the sky. We mixed primary colours and added tints and shades.
Trip to the Zoo
Class 2 had a fantastic time at the zoo. We saw a variety of different animals, our favourite was the monkeys.
Raspberry picking!
We really enjoyed working as a team to pick raspberries this afternoon! We are going to have them at snack time tomorrow. We can’t wait to try them! We love growing and trying our own produce at St Mary’s!
Music- Djembe
Class 3 have loved experimenting with our new instruments for this term. This week we have focused on calls and responses as well as recognising different musical notes.
Story Time in Class 2
One of our Year 2 children read ‘The Ugly Five’ by Julia Donaldson beautifully to the class.
Creating a colourful butterfly as a team!
We used our fine motor skills to pinch pipettes and press circular sponges onto cotton wool to create a tie dye butterfly as a team!
Releasing the tadpoles and froglets!
Today we looked closely at the tadpoles and how they have changed. Some had legs and the tail has shrunk! We released the tadpoles and froglets into the school pond. We used words like oxygenated and amphibian as we learned all about frogs and the plants in the pond!
Making Inferences
In English we have been basing our writing around the story Grandad’s Island by Benji Davies. Today we worked in groups and made inferences about the story. It created some thought provoking discussion and the children came up with some lovely ideas about the true meaning of the story.
Greenpower Update
