Weekly Update 13.10.23

Hello!
A slightly shorter week with our training day today but still a very busy week it has been.
On Tuesday and Wednesday we had our Great Fire of London Workshops lead by forest school practitioner Sue. We recreated the events of the fire by making our very own Tudor houses from cereal boxes, scrap paper and paint. We then took them down to the field and made Pudding Lane with St Paul’s Cathedral in the center. Sue then started a fire in Thomas Farriner’s bakery, and we watched it spread from house to house until they had all turned to ash. The children really enjoyed this immersive activity!

In Maths Year 1 have been working on number bonds within 10 and using practical resources such as numicon to help with addition. Year 2 have been looking at number bonds to 20 and how to find all of the number pairs systematically.
In Science we have continued with our focus on how to keep the human body healthy. This weeks lesson was all about healthy hearts and how exercise is a very important factor in keeping it healthy. We looked at the function of the heart and did a little experiment to show how exercise effects our heart rate.
Have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing you all at Parents Evening on Monday or Wednesday.
