Year 6 Summer 1 Week 3
English
This week in Year 6 we have continued writing our narratives. We have looked at how to include a range of figurative language in our writing to describe the setting. We have also looked at how to link our sentences and paragraphs when moving from first person to third person.
Maths
In Maths we have been revising our use of coordinates and looking at how to draw and read coordinates in all four quadrants. We also used our knowledge of coordinates and shape to solve problems like the one below.
Science
For Science we continued our work on electricity and looked at a range of components within a circuit. We investigated how components change when a circuit is adapted.
We also had a visit from PC Drew who announced the winners of the parking poster competition. All winners were presented with a certificate and a fantastic ‘Challenge Coin’ from Chief Inspector Charlie Routley.
There were some fantastic outfits for our aspirations month!
Year 1 Summer 1 Week 3
English
This week the fun continues with Handa's Surprise! We are using the story that we enjoyed so much last week, to innovate our own versions this week. We have been placing ourselves as the main characters, changing the setting and characters to create our own 'Surprise' tale. The children enjoyed tasting and describing British fruits, to add to their stories!
Maths
This week in Maths, the children have been learning about arrays.
Foundation
This week in history, the children have been learning about Victorian Schools. We learned that they were packed full of children, and sometimes there could be harsh punishments for mistakes! We decided that maybe we like it better at Brady in 2026! In Science the children have been learning about the parts of a flowering plant. They examined different Spring time flowers, then drew and annotated their favourite flower.
Rainbow Room Summer 1 Week 3
We have had a great week in the Rainbow Room.
In our English lessons the pupils learnt about the core word 'it'. We used a cushion and the phrase and 'pass it' to help the children with their comprehension. Our phonics sounds this week were ch, qu, x and ng. They were all very engaged and were mark making beautifully using felt tip pens, pencils and crayons.
Our maths lessons have been focusing on 5 Little Men in a Flying Saucer and 10 green bottles. The pupils have developed a great understanding of losing 1 little man with each turn.
Our weather focus this week is the sun and the rain. We have created some beautiful suncatchers using glue and tissue paper on laminated sheets. Keep an eye out for these in the Rainbow Room garden.
Fine motor activities this week captured lots of attention. We used rolling pins to crush cereal, completed lots of playdough stamping and practised mark making with various different mediums.
Don't forget to apply sunscreen each morning and send a hat in with your child.
Have a restful weekend.
Year 2 Summer 1 Week 3
This week in Year 2 has been a busy and exciting one! In Maths, the children have continued their focus on clocks and successfully concluded the topic on Friday. They have shown great perseverance and understanding when telling the time.
In English, we finished our big rrite unit on fables. The children worked incredibly hard to write their own stories, and we were so impressed with the creativity and effort they showed. The remainder of the week was very oracy‑focused, with pupils performing poetry in front of the whole class—everyone showed fantastic confidence and expression.
In History, we continued our learning about monarchs, while in Science we explored seeds and began to understand how plants grow. On Thursday, we also had our class photograph taken, and we’re looking forward to seeing the results!
In Art, the children carried on exploring famous portraits of magnificent monarchs and then used these as inspiration to sketch their own portraits. The results have been wonderful.
Well done, Year 2, for another great week of learning!
Year 4 Summer 1 Week 3
Well done year 4 for completing another week.
In English, we have written our final draft on our setting description. We have also looked at a WAGOLL of an informal letter.
In shared reading, the children have learnt how to give reasons for their answers, order events from the text and retrieve answers from the text.
In maths, we have learnt how to convert between the analogue and digital clock, convert to and from the 24-hour clock. We will continue with our time topic next week for extra consolidation.
In science, the children went on a mini beast hunt! They were given a key to help them identify what mini beasts they had found and were able to recognise if they were invertebrates or vertebrates.
As always please ensure that your child is going on TTRS and reading 5x a week.
Enjoy your weekend!
Nursery Summer 1 Week 3
This week our focus stories have been 'Jasper and the Beanstalk' and 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. The children have enjoyed participating in counting activities and have really impressed us with their ability to match numbers to amounts. The children have continued to care for the plants that we are growing and have been learning about what plants need to survive. In addition, they have been developing their scissor control, fine motor skills and drawing with added detail. The children also made wanted posters for the giant which were wonderful as they carefully thought about the giant's features. Moreover, we have continued to recap the Set 1 RWI single sounds and have continued to practise blending. Finally, we finished our week with dressing up for Aspirations Day and spoke about what the children would like to be when they grow up.
What a great week! Have a lovely weekend.
Reception Summer 1 Week 3
We have had a very exciting week in Reception.
In Maths we have been learning all about shape. We have looked at 2D shapes and their properties and we have started to look at some 3D shapes including, cube, sphere, cylinder and square based pyramid. Next week we will focus on 3D shapes and their properites.
In Topic this week we have been learning about minibeasts. We went on a minibeast hunt in the garden and drew pictures our findings. We also looked at the life cycle of a butterfly and drew a picture of our own butterfly, writing simple sentences to describe how it looked.
We ended our week with Aspirations Day! Pupils dressed up as what they want to be when they grow up, we discussed what jobs we want to do and why! We also had some lovely visitors to talk about their career including a paramedic.
Have a lovely weekend!
Year 5 Summer 1 Week 3
Well done Year 5 for another fantastic week of learning!
This week in Maths, we finished our topic on Angles and moved on to our new unit, Position and Direction. The children have been learning how to plot coordinates and solve problems using them. They have shown great focus and confidence, particularly when applying their skills to problem-solving activities.
In English, the children completed their final drafts of their biographies about King Henry VIII or Anne Boleyn. These were improved versions of their first drafts, which the children edited carefully using their excellent editing skills. The finished pieces showed clear progress and great attention to detail.
In History this week, the children learnt all about King Henry VIII’s houses and the many places he lived throughout his life. They enjoyed discovering why he moved between different palaces and how each home reflected his power and lifestyle.
Well done, Year 5, for your continued hard work and enthusiasm this week.
Have a lovely weekend!
Year 3 Summer 1 Week 3
Well done, Year 3, for another amazing week at school.
In maths this week, we finished off our Money topic, where we learnt how to add and subtract money as well as work out how much change we should get. Next week, we will be moving into our topic of Time.
In English, we have been looking at newspaper reports and the features they include. We had lots of fun interviewing each other and working on our inverted commas for speech. Next week, we will be writing our own newspaper reports on the events from Escape to Pompeii.
In science this week, we continued our work on plants and conducted an experiment to see how water is transported through a plant’s stem.
We had an amazing time on our trip last week, and the children were extremely well behaved.
As always, please continue to read five times a week and play on TTRS five times for five minutes at a time.
Have a wonderful bank holiday weekend. See you all on Tuesday!
