Year 2 Summer 2 Week 4
This week has been Assessment Week, and the children have worked incredibly hard completing their English, Maths and Reading assessments. We are very proud of their effort and determination.
In our topic work, we have been learning about animals that live in rockpools as part of our science learning. The children really enjoyed exploring these fascinating habitats and discovering the creatures that live within them.
It has also been a very exciting week for Year 2. Class 2A delivered a fantastic class assembly, and on the same day we hosted a wonderful shared learning session where parents joined us to take part in fun activities with their children. It was lovely to see so many families involved, and we would like to say a big thank you to everyone who attended and helped make it such a success.
Finally, we have experienced an extreme heatwave this week. We have adapted our routines where possible to help everyone stay cool and comfortable. The children have shown great resilience, although they have understandably been feeling quite tired.
Well done to everyone for a busy and successful week!
Year 4 Summer 2 Week 3
Well done year 4 for another great week!
In English this week, we have finished writing our ancient Egypt narrative. The children have worked hard to include pronouns and inverted commas for dialogue in their stories. Next week, we will start our biography topic.
In Maths this week, we have finished our position and direction topic. The children had to translate on a grid, describe the translation and draw 2D shapes on a grid. The next few weeks we will be returning to previous topics that they have found difficult in year 4 to consolidate their learning.
In science, we followed a recipe to make our own bread. The children really enjoyed this lesson and were able to see the effects of each ingredient.
The children partcipated in Sports Day this week! They had lots of fun and we appreciate seeing so many parents show their support.
Please ensure your child is reading and completing TTRS 5 times per week.
Don't forget to bring in cardboard boxes or large plastic bottles for our project!
Nursery Summer 2 Week 4
What a hot week it has been! This week our focus story has been 'Barry the Fish with Fingers'. The children have enjoyed lots of water play to keep themselves cool. They have been continuing to practise their Set 1 RWI sounds and naming 2D shapes. The children have also enjoyed being creative and made jellyfish to practise their scissor control skills.
Year 3 Summer Week 4
Well done, Year 3, for making it through such a tough week!
As it was assessment week, we didn’t have our usual English lessons, but the children worked incredibly hard and did brilliantly in their grammar, punctuation, spelling and reading assessments, even with the high temperatures. Next week, we will begin writing letters to our new teachers!
In Maths, everyone showed great effort in their reasoning and arithmetic assessments before moving on to collecting data and creating bar charts and pictograms.
In Science, we continued our Curious Critters topic and enjoyed going outside to observe our compost boxes, noticing that many of the food items had already decomposed- we will continue our observations next week!
In History, we learned lots of interesting facts about Hadrian’s Wall, including its age and why it remains important today.
It has certainly been a challenging week due to the heat, but we are extremely proud of all the children for continuing to come in and work so hard, and we hope to return to our normal routine next week.
As always, please continue to read five times a week and play TTRS for five minutes, five times a week.
Please see the attached spellings for this week.
Reception Summer 2 Week 4
Well done for a great week, everyone!
In Maths this week, we have been looking at maps of our local area. We discussed what we could see on the map (Tesco, School, Parks and resturants) and explored the meanings of different symbols. We have also been learning about instructions. The pupils did a fantastic job following simple instructions and then worked with a partner to give instructions for building a house.
In Topic, we continued our learning about Marvellous Machines. We created observational drawings of different machines and robots before using our imaginations to invent our own machines. The pupils then wrote simple sentences to describe their creations.
It has been very hot this week, so the pupils have enjoyed spending time in the garden taking part in water play activities and cooling down with ice poles.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone! 
year 4 Summer 2 week 4
Well done year 4 completing this hot week!
In English, we started our biography topic looking at possessive apostrophes and conjunctions. We also looked at a WAGOLL to identify the key features.
In Shared reading, we used our inference and retrieval questions using evidence from the text. We also had a fun hot seating session where the children pretended to be Mrs Mendoza, and they asked questions based on the book.
In maths, we have just been doing revision in preparation for the assessments. Next week, we will be recapping over different topics that the children found a bit tricky.
Please remember to bring in plastic bottles and cardboard boxes for shared learning on Tuesday!
As always, please ensure your child is reading and going on TTRS 5x a week. Well done for completing your assessments.
Have a lovely weekend!
Rainbow Room Summer 2 Week 4
It has been a hot and sticky week this week but the pupils have all been very resiliant.
The sunny wweather gave us many opportunities for water play and our new boat toy was very popular! It has prompted lots of play both individually, and with peers which has been wonderful to see.
The core words this week were over and under. The pupils loved the song Over the Deep Blue Sea and all the actions that went with it.
During phonics, we used fine motor skills to manipulate playdough to form the sounds - ire, ew, ear, ure and tion. The songs have been very popular again and it has been great to hear lots of sounds being made during the lesson.
Maths has focused on 10 Green Bottles. It hasn't taken long for the pupils to get to grips with the routine and counting the number of bottles left on their walls.
Sensory play has been very heavily focused on water and ice this week. We have used water trays for pouring (and splashing), bubbles, sprays for squirting, paint brushes for brushing and ice cubes for sensory input. Chia seed slime was served chilled and was enjoyed by all.
