Wow another hot and sunny week!

Firstly a massive well done to all the children showing great stamina and energy during our whole school walk on Thursday. It was an incredibly hot day, but  all the children took everything in their stride and were brilliant. We worked out we walked 5 miles, with lots of drink and shade stops. A massive thank you to our parent helper, we really appreciate your support. 

Welcome back! It is so nice to see all the children and hear about their wonderful adventures this week. We hope you all had a lovely break and enjoyed the sunshine.

We kicked off this half term with our new text driver in English ‘The Night Box’ the children have really enjoyed this text so far. We have been discussing different figurative text including personification, alliteration, similes, metaphors and onomatopoeia. The children had great fun exploring these techniques when creating a setting description. I was super impressed with their exciting vocabulary and ideas.

In Maths, we have been collecting, presenting and interpreting data using tally charts, pictograms and bar graphs. We have been talking about the importance of drawing this to scale, making sure axis are labelled and ensuring the intervals are accurately measured. The children were so enthusiastic about their learning, many chose to continue their learning at break time!

In Jigsaw this week, we started our relationship piece, looking at life cycles and talking about what we already know. The children were great about talking about the changes animals and mini beast. We also discussed how the seasons change and how this makes us feel.
