A very cold and rainy week has come to an end.
In maths year 1 have worked hard on understanding the basics of multiplication by counting in 2s, 5s and 10s and making arrays. Year 2 have learnt how to divide by 10s and 5s, as well as how to read block diagrams.
In English we have finished writing our invitations for Cinderella to attend the Prince Chraming's ball. The children have also started learning about instructions. Today we have followed a set of instructions to make a friendship bracelet.
We have also enjoyed creating some wheels in DT as part of our moving picture unit. Elsewhere in the curriculum, the children have learnt when it's appropriate to tell or ask an adult when something is upsetting them. We have also learnt about human and physical features of Yeadon in geography.
Have a lovely weekend and see you again on Monday,

This week has flown by!
In maths, both year 1 and year 2 have recapped how to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. Year 2 have also made good progress with learning their times tables and have also begun to understand division as grouping and sharing.
In English we have practiced writing invitations to invite Cinderella to Prince Charming's ball.
The children have hugely enjoyed DT. Our topic for this half term is to make a moving picture using different mechanims; last week we created sliders and this week we have created levers.
In computing we have also explored how to use different programmes in Chrome MuiscLab to create music.
The highlight of the week for a lot of the children was meeting Steel from gladiators. The children enjoyed the whole school assembly on Thursday morning and then enjoyed asking him some questions in class after.

Happy New Year!
The children have had a fantastic first week back at school; I have been very impressed with how much they have remembered from before the holidays and how sensibly they have returned to school.
Year 2 have looked at subtracting a two-digit number from a two-digit number using exchanging whilst Year 1 have recapped how to use the part whole model to add and subtract. We have also started looking at our new classroom text "Cinderella" and the children enjoyed writing sentences using key vocabulary from the story.
In PE we have begun a gymnastics unit and have learnt some new balances and rolls. We have also spoken about seasonal changes in science and we created a pictograph to show how the days are shorter in the winter months compared to the summer months.
We are still going to be doing PE on a Thursday but our Wednesday PE lesson has changed to Monday. Our PE days for this term are now Monday and Thursday.
Have a wonderful weekend and hopefully the weather will be a bit warmer next week!

The highlight of the week has undoubtedly been the performances of 'Prickly Hay'! The children worked exceptionally hard to put on such a fabulous performance and should be very proud of themselves.
Year 2 have continued learning how to subtract a single digit number from a two-digit number whilst Year 1 have continued learning about place value within 20.
We have also written a recount from the point of view of the Emperor of Absurdia.
All the children enjoyed Christmas Jumper Day and Christmas Dinner Day on Friday.
Have a wonderful weekend and see you again on Monday!
