This week has been jam-packed full of learning.
In maths Year 1 have learnt about how to use the bar model to solve addition and subtraction calculations. Year 2 have recapped how to solve addition and subtraction calculations more fluently.
A highlight of the week was on Thursday afternoon where the children made a lunchbox to meet a pirate’s design brief. The children all worked independently and hugely enjoyed the afternoon; we look forward to testing our boxes after the May half term.
In computing we continued learning how to use a word processor and this week we learnt how to type in bold and italics, as well as how to underline text.
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday for the final week of school before the holidays!

The children have enjoyed celebrating the 80th anniversary of VE Day this week. On Thursday they dressed in blue, red and white and enjoyed a special assembly delivered by Mrs Amos and Miss Cotterill about the history of VE Day.
In maths this week we have learnt how to solve addition and subtraction missing number calculations using the inverse. In English we have completed lots of practical work to help us to prepare for writing a letter next week!
The children impressed me in DT with their packed lunch box designs and how they met a design brief to design a lunchbox with a strong handle, that's waterproof and is appealing to pirates. They are excited to start building their lunchboxes next week.
Enjoy the weekend and see you again on Monday!

The highlight of this week has been the Explorer Day to launch our new geography topic! The children had lots of fun dressing up as different pirates and explorers. We completed a Scavenger Hunt around the school grounds and also learnt about the seven continents.
On Thursday we completed our MindMate lesson for this half term. We identified different emotions and discussed how it's normal to feel different things to our friends sometimes.
In maths both Year 1 and Year 2 have begun learning about turns. We have done lots of practical work by turning different objects and shapes.
In English we read our new book "The Pirates Next Door" by Johnny Duddle and we made some predictions about the plot using the blurb for clues.
Enjoy the weekend and I will see you again on Monday for a sunny week at school!

The final week of Spring Term has come to an end!
We finished off our topic of the 'Step back in Time' this week by learning about William Murgatroyd. The children worked in teams to create posters about who William Murgatroyd was and what he did.
This morning we pretended that we are in Victorian school and the children enjoyed writing on their 'blackboards' with white chalk.
Have a wonderful Easter break and I will see you again on Tuesday 22nd April!
