This week the children have enjoyed the story of 'Amazing Grace' by Mary Hoffman. It explores themes of discrimination when Grace is told that she cannot be Peter Pan because 'that's a boys name' and

As part of our science, today we have been on a lovely walk around our school site looking at the different trees. We have taken bark rubbings and looked at the differences. We were able to identify roots coming up from the ground, trunks, branches and leaves. Many children were able to correctly identify oak trees!

What a fantastic start to the Summer Term! The children have enjoyed comparing lots of different versions of the fairy tale 'Hansel and Gretel'. We have written a setting description of the tempting cottage in the woods. In maths, the children are becoming more independent at making equal groups and are starting to make arrays to show rows and columns. Next week they will be sharing equally. Please help them to count in 2s, 5s and 10s. Soon the children will be taking part in

In our English classes, we discussed the story of 'Chicken Licken' and crafted a character description of 'Foxy Woxy'.

When Ron feels sad, it rains, and when he is happy, the sun shines! The villagers eventually meet him and re

Well half term is here, I just hope it stops raining for some of it! This week we have read 'We're going on a Bear Hunt' by Michael Rosen. The children have enjoyed reciting the book off by heart and have written a new version of the poem. We're going on a fox hunt, We're going to catch a big one, What a beautiful day! We're not scared. Uh-Uh, rain. Soaking, wet rain. We can't go over it, We can't go under it' Oh no! We've got to go through it! Drizzle, drip, Drizzle, drip,

We prepared to write setting descriptions by going for a virtual walk through some woods. We list

Not long until Christmas, the school is starting to look festive! This week we have shared the book 'You can't take an Elephant on the Bus' by Patricia Cleveland-Peck. It's a really funny story exploring why certain animals can't use certain vehicles. The whale can't use a bicycle because it has no feet! It has given the children the opportunity to use conjunctions (and, but, because) in their writing. In maths we have completed our unit about shape and have started to learn
