We love to read in our school and believe ‘The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you will go’
A child
A book
A read
A chat
That is the way the mind grows
Not with a test, but a tale…

Welcome Back!
Have a look at some of the amazing activities we have been up to in the Autumn Term so far 🙂
English
Our text has been ‘Silly Billy’ by Anthony Brown. We looked at the different feelings Billy felt throughout the story, made our own worry dolls, wrote our own instructions and letters and used dictionaries to extend our vocabulary further.
We have looked at place value, addition and subtraction. We have been looking at the different methods/strategies we can use to help us work out the answer to our calculations.
One of our topics so far has been looking at animals including humans and the importance of feeding and exercise.
Have a look at some of the amazing activities we have been up to in the Spring Term so far 🙂
Literacy
We are currently looking at the text ‘Tree: Seasons Come, Seasons Go’ by Patricia . We have collected key vocabulary related to each season and came up with some questions which we would like answering by the time we finish the story.
Have a look at the story here – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkdqzJ7LyFY&t=63s
Maths
We have been looking at multiplication this half term. So far we have been making equal groups to work out multiplication calculations. We have also been drawing our own arrays to match the multiplications. Have a look at some of our arrays below;
Our topic this half term is ‘Everyday Materials’. We had fun going for a material hunt around the classroom where we found many objects which are made out of wood, metal, fabric, glass and plastic. Have a look at what we found.
Geography
This half term our topic is ‘UK Seasonal and Daily Weather Patterns’. We have started by looking at the 7 continents and 5 oceans of the world and thinking about our own locality in comparison.
