A slightly shorter week of learning has come to an end and we have made it to the February half term holidays!
We had a very musical start to the week, with the children enjoying an assembly by 'Back Chat Brass' which involved lots of singing and dancing!
In English the children enjoyed creating their own Super Veggie superhero and creating their own comic strip inspired by Supertato. We spent some time on Thursday morning sharing our work with Pear Tree class.
In maths Year 1 have spent the week recapping addition and subtraction using the number line. I was very impressed by how much of their prior learning the children could recall. Year 2 have recapped their understanding of division and multiplication and applied their learning to solve reasoning problems.
In computing the children also enjoyed using the BeeBot mats that they created last week to programme their BeeBots.
We also finished off our geography topic all about the UK by recapping the location of each of the four countries, naming the capital city of each country and identifying a landmark in each country.
Mr Dring delivered an assembly on Tuesday morning for 'Safer Internet Day' based around the theme 'Too Good to be True?' Please follow this link to support conversations with your child about how to use the internet safely.
Safer Internet Day 2025
I hope you enjoy the half term holidays. Lime Tree have worked so hard over the last few weeks and have earned a well deserved break!
I will see you again on Monday 24th Feb,

Another week of learning has come to an end.
In English the children wrote some amazing descriptions of Supertato using a variety of adjectives and conjunctions.
In maths, year 1 have continued learning about division and have also recapped their doubles within 20. Year 2 have recapped how to add and subtract two-digit numbers within 100.
Elsewhere in the curriculum we have continued learning about the four countries of the UK and the children worked in groups to write facts about the UK
We have also recapped how to stay safe online and the importance of not sharing photos online.
Have a lovely weekend and I will see you again on Monday for the final week of learning before Feb half term.

Hi
This week in Lime Tree Class the following has taken place:
Year 1 - in Maths we have been looking at how we can use arrays and repeated addition to find the total of equal groups. We have also had a go at division as sharing between 2 and 5 groups.
Year 2 - in maths we have continued our work on division and multiplication. We have been dividing and multiplying by 2, 5 and 10.
In English all the children have been continuing their writing skills using the book Traction Man.
On Tuesday our Y2s had a Skipping Workshop with Katie. This is in preparation for the Skipping Festival we will take part in later in the year. The children all joined in well and shown good levels of perseverance. Skipping is not easy!
Have a lovely weekend.

This week has flown by!
Year 1s have learnt the new 'au' and 'aw' digraphs in phonics whilst Year 2 have learnt about how to add 'ing' to words that end in 'e'.
In geography we learnt the names of five seas that surround the UK and also began to use the compass to find north, south, east and west.
In computing we have continued learning about algorithms and the children enjoyed planning their own algorithm and getting a BeeBot to follow it.
In maths, Year 1s have continued counting in 2s, 5s and 10s and have also begun to look at how we can use arrays to write repeated addition number sentences. Year 2s have learnt their two times tables and how to divide by 2.
Enjoy the weekend and see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson

This week has been jam-packed full of learning!
The children enjoyed reading our new class book 'Traction Man is Here' by Mini Grey. To begin, they looked at the front cover and blurb to make predictions for what they thought would happen in the text. They then wrote some fantastic descriptions of Traction Man himself.
In maths we have continued learning about multiplication. Year 1s have learnt how to count in 2s, 5s and 10s and write repeated addition number sentences to match pictures. Year 2 have continued learning that multiplication can mean 'groups of' and have also learnt how to use arrays to solve multiplication number sentences. Take a look at some of our work using arrays below:
In PSHE we have looked at how to keep our bodies healthy by eating a varied diet and exercising. We are going to continue learning about how to look after our bodies next week by learning about the importance of getting a good night's sleep.
The children have hugely enjoyed learning how to skip in PE and have already made fantastic progress from their various starting points.
Have a wonderful weekend (without any snow!) and see you again on Monday,
Miss Atkinson
