Three Little Pigs

20th January 2023A Barnes

This week we have been focusing on the story of the The Three Little Pigs. The children loved joining in with this story! We have sequenced the story by creating a story map. We also have used colourful semantics to describe what is happening in the story. In art we created a collage to represent the three houses and identified each material. We also identified the shapes needed to create the houses. We had lots of fun following instructions to build our own houses using duplo blocks and stickle bricks.

Well done Rowans, a super duper week.

  

Our Week in Acorns

17th January 2023A Malone

In Maths we have been using the mathematical vocabulary ‘more than’, ‘less than’ and ‘equal to’ –

3 is less than 5

Equal means ‘the same’

6 is more than 2

We have also been reading ‘The Jolly Postman’ by Janet and Allan Ahlberg, and finding out about what happens in a Post Office.

Inuit Artwork

16th January 2023S Graham

We have just started our new topic: Frozen Kingdoms!

In art this week we looked at different types and styles of artwork we will be doing in the next few weeks. These pieces of art work will be inspired by Inuit art. Be sure to keep an eye out for more in the following weeks.

This week we started creating our own stencils which celebrate arctic animals. Once we created out stencils we experimented with our own unique designs. Although we are not yet finished, some are already looking incredible.

Freeze Framing

13th January 2023Mrs Storey

Blossoms have enjoyed freeze framing some key scenes from Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s stone as part of our English.  They thought about how the characters would be feeling at key moments of the text and used facial expressions and gestures to show these as they couldn’t speak during a freeze frame. We will incorporate these feelings into our informal letters next week.
