The children have enjoyed World Book Day today. For some of our children they chose to dress as their favourite book characters. They have enjoyed exploring and reading new books and took part in our whole school book swap.
Have a look at how much fun they had!
This week in Rowan’s class we learnt a new sound +b. The children have practiced blending, spelling and writing words that include the sound +b. The children have also continued to consolidate their understanding of GPCs.
The children have explored the changes in the natural world including the seasons, they then matched the season to the correct picture. During integration with Acorns class the children took turns and played lots of fun games such as; monkey business, pig goes pop and my dog has flees.
We have had a very busy week in Maples. In Phonics the children have consolidated their phonics knowledge and have been confidently reading various words and phrases. In maths the children have been working hard on their individual targets, including counting, place value and adding one more. In Science we conducted an experiment to see which materials can be stretched, bent, twisted or squashed. The children thoroughly enjoyed this! It has also been children’s mental health week and the children have been looking at who is important to them and have created their own artwork showing the important people who link to them.

In Music lessons we have been listening to music, sharing our thoughts and finding the beat. This will help us to create our own beat and compose our own music.
In phonics we explored the ‘ow’ sound, then read and wrote some ‘ow’ words.
The children in Maples have had a fantastic first week back. In Phonics they have been learning new sounds including ‘j’, ‘oa’ and alternative pronunciations for ‘a’. In Maths the children have completed some repeating patterns and counting. In Science, we have begun our work on Materials and as a group matched pictures of materials to their names. In Geography, we looked at what a globe is and what it represents and have enjoyed practicing our kicking skills in PE.
Take a look at some of the fun we have had!

This week in Rowan’s class we started our new topic of Long Ago. This week we have been focusing on the story of the Tiger Who Came to Tea. In phonics we learnt a new sound +k, practiced writing the sound and practiced spelling and writing words with our new sound.
In history we explored the topic of Long Ago and watched a video learning about things that have happened in the past. We then looked at photos of what we had completed the previous day.
In science we have started learning about our bodies and we were able to label parts of the body on a diagram. We also explored the changes in the natural world including the seasons. We listened to the story of One Year with Kipper and then matched pictures to the correct season.
