Another week has flown by. The children have amazed me with how well they have all settled and how well they are following our new classroom routines; well done Lime Tree Class!
In maths, Year 1 have continued learning about numbers within 10. The children have learnt to represent numbers to 10 in different ways and are beginning to recognise numbers as words as well as numerals and pictures. Year 2 have continued learning about place value in two digit numbers and have explored representing these numbers using a place value chart.
In English we started reading 'Katie in London'. The children made predictions about the plot of the story, using the front cover and blurb. Year 2 then did some work on using the dictionaries and sorting words alphabetically whilst Year 1 completed a word hunt around the classroom. The children wrote then their own description of one of the characters from the book and read their work aloud to their peers.
We have also started exploring different pencil techniques as part of an introduction to art and the children experimented with blending different colours with varying degrees of pressure.
In PSHE we completed one of our 'MindMate' lessons and name different feelings and sorted these into 'comfortable' and 'uncomfortable' feelings.
It was lovely to meet you at the 'Meet the Teacher' event after school on Wednesday and put some names to faces.
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday.

The final week of the academic year has come to an end!
The children all loved the KS1 Disco on Monday evening; I've never seen so many creative dance moves!!
We have had a wonderful week reflecting on everything we have learnt over the year and sharing our favourite moments. The children have also enjoyed lots of art and music.
All that's left to say is thank you so much for the end of year gifts and for your support over the year. It has been a joy to teach each and every child in Lime Tree Class.
I hope you have a wonderful summer and I will see you again in September!

We have had a fun-filled week.
The children have enjoyed spending money at the Year 6 market stalls.
Thank you for everyone for coming to see our garden homework projects. I loved how original each of the gardens were and the children were all very proud of their hard work.
On Tuesday the children enjoyed visiting their new classrooms and meeting their new teachers in preparation for September.
In science the children have enjoyed finishing learning about plants and wildlife by sketching and painting a sunflower.
On Monday, Key Stage One can enjoy their disco after school until 4:45pm. The children can wear their party clothes to school on this day but please make sure the outfits still allow the children to play outside comfortably as the rest of the day will be as normal.
Enjoy a hot weekend and I will see you again on Monday for the final week of the academic year!

We have had a great week. In English we have written shape poems about different ocean animals and we enjoyed reading these to each other.
In maths we have played lots of games and recapped different subtraction strategies as well as how to make different amounts of money using different coins.
The biggest highlight of this week has been the trip to Harlow Carr to recap what we've learnt in science this half term. The children all enjoyed identifying different trees, collecting minibeasts and finding out the age of different trees. 
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday!
