Weekly Review – What a week of discovery!
What a brilliant week it's been! We kicked things off with a lovely trip to the library, where the children enjoyed exploring a wide range of books and choosing some new favourites to bring back to school. We're also incredibly proud of all the children completing their Phonics Screening Check this week - they approached it with focus, confidence and lots of resilience!
Alongside this, our classrooms have been buzzing with energy as we’ve continued to dive into exciting learning across all subjects—from building model aeroplanes to investigating fruit and veg!
English - This week in English, we became instruction writers as we created step-by-step guides on how to build our very own plastic water bottle aeroplanes! We carefully labelled the parts of our planes and worked hard to make sure our instructions were clear, concise, and easy to follow. It was brilliant to see everyone using their technical vocabulary and logical thinking!
Maths - In Maths, we focused on counting up in 2s, 5s, and 10s to help us find amounts more efficiently. We practised spotting number patterns and solving real-life problems using these counting strategies. It’s been great to see growing confidence in recognising multiples and using them in different contexts!
History - In History, we travelled through time as we compared old and new aeroplanes. We looked closely at the Wright brothers’ glider, which could only carry one person, and compared it to the large modern-day jets we see in the sky today. The children were fascinated by how far air travel has come!
Design and Technology - In D&T, we explored where different fruits and vegetables grow. We discussed which ones grow underground, which ones grow on trees or plants, and how they make their journey from the farm to our plates. This exploration is helping us prepare for our upcoming smoothie-making sessions, yum!
