Welcome back! 

It was lovely to see all the children return from the Easter holidays looking so smart and eager to start their learning. 

We have a Geography based topic this term, looking at the UK. We are learning about some of the mountains, major rivers and seas in the UK as well as naming some important cities.

This week we have been busy rehearsing for our upcoming production! We look forward to seeing you all next Tuesday for our performance.  

In maths we have continued our learning on length and measurement. We have been adding and subtracting lengths and finding the perimeter of different shapes. Next week, we will be learning about money!

In English, we have finished writing out non-chronological reports based on our very own dragons. Next week, we will be writing an antonym diamante poem!

In science, we looked at what patterns we could find when investigating how shadows change size.

Have a lovely weekend everybody!

We have had a super busy week putting the final touches to our production of Oliver!  However, you will be pleased to know that we have had time to squeeze in some school work.

In maths, we have been learning about money.  We can make an amount in different ways, count and add notes and coins as well as convert between pounds and pence.  Next week we will work on subtracting money and giving change. 

In English, we have written some amazing diamante poems.  For this type of poem we needed to use antonyms, verbs, adjectives and nouns.

In Science, we have been learning about a balanced diet.  We learned about the different food groups and their nutritional content.  We created a healthy eating plate.

In PE, we have continued to develop our running and sprinting skills in athletics and are learning how to pass the baton in a relay team. 

We look forward to seeing you all at our production on Tuesday!

This week, we have begun learning all about rivers. Over the next 2 weeks, we will be writing our own explanation texts explaining how a river is formed and how it is different at each stage of the river. Isla and Connor have helped explain this to us!

                                            

Here is what we hope ours will look like next week:

      

 

In maths, we have continued to learn all about money. We have been subtracting money and giving change. Next week we will be learning all about time. 

                                                  

In science, we have learnt that animals need the right types and amount of nutrition. We then explored the nutritional values of different foods through an investigation.  

                                                    

On Tuesday, we had a brilliant day performing our wonderful production! We hope you all enjoyed it as much as we enjoyed performing it!

We hope you all have a lovely bank holiday weekend!

Week Beginning 4th May

We have had a fun and busy week of learning!

In maths we have been learning about time and Roman numerals.  We can read the clock to o'clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to and have learnt Roman numerals to 12.

In English and geography we have been learning about the journey of a river.  To prepare for our writing of an explanation text, we worked in groups to create an art collage of a river from the source through to the upper course, middle course, lower course and finally through the mouth of the river and out to sea.  Once we had made our rivers, we annotated them with key vocabulary and sentences to explain the different parts. We will use this artwork next week to write our explanation texts.  

In geography, we also used atlases to locate some cities and counties of the UK and then plotted them on a map.  We can find the cities of London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, York and the counties of Essex, Kent, Cumbria and Cornwall.

In music, we have been learning how to play the toots.  These are similar to a recorder and a flute.  We can play the B and A notes and next week we will be learning to play the C note.

In science, we have been learning about different types of skeletons.  Some animals have an endoskeleton (on the inside) and some animals have an exoskeleton (on the outside).  We also learnt that animals can be sorted into vertebrate (have a backbone) and invertebrate (don't have a back bone).  Next week we will be learning about muscles.

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone!

11.5.2026

We have had another busy and enjoyable week of learning!

In English, we have been writing explanation texts about rivers. We used sentence starters and causal conjunctions to explain the different stages of a river clearly. Next week, we will be publishing our finished writing.

In maths, we have continued learning about time. We can now tell the time to 5 minutes, tell the time to the minute and read time on a digital clock. Next week, we will continue our learning of digital time and learn more about am and pm and understanding years, months and days.

                                        

In science, we learnt how bones and muscles work together to help our bodies move. We made models of our arms using elastic bands to show how muscles pull the bones to create movement.

 

               

In geography, we explored some human and physical features of Scotland. We learnt about Edinburgh Castle, the River Tay, Ben Nevis and Loch Ness. Next week, we will learn all about Wales!

                                                    

In computing, we worked with partners to create storytelling projects using Scratch. We enjoyed designing characters, adding animations and creating our own stories.
