This week we have been working hard in our English; we looked at foods that are harmful to birds and why they are harmful then used these facts to write sentences explaining why we feed birds certain foods.
In Maths, we have been working on our number bonds to 20. We have been using our number bonds to 10 to help us e.g., 6+4 = 10 will help us know 16+4 = 20.
In Geography, we looked at the coasts in Lincolnshire, we used maps to find and locate the different coasts in Lincolnshire.
We had PE on Monday with Miss Cheryl.
On Wednesday, we had Art with Mrs Freeman and PE with Mr Godson.
Thursday & Friday - Miss Cragg
Another busy week with plenty achieved. In Maths we've recapped learning about doubles. We know that adding two of the same number together is doubling it, and we have also noticed it is the two times table because we have two groups of the same number! We've also had a practical lesson on subtracting 1 using our number bonds knowledge.
In English we have continued to write about making a bird feeder, looking at imperative verbs, complex 'if' sentences, using brackets (again!) and adverbs. We are getting ready for our Big Write next week!
In Science we had lesson 2 in our Bodies topic, learning about what humans need in order to survive. The list of things we need is very different to the list of things we want! In RE we began our new topic learning about Islam. We were introduced to the first Pillar of Islam, Shahada, the declaration of faith. We had a spelling test on Thursday and were introduced to our new spelling and multiplication test which will happen every Friday going forward.
A busy week, well done everyone for all of your hard work. Enjoy your weekend!

Welcome back, we hope you had a lovely Christmas and a very happy new year.
We have started back really well and made our teachers very proud.
In English, we have started our new unit of work; writing instructions 'How to make a bird feeder'. We have had two shape days, we have read two different instruction texts, 'How to make a bird feeder' and 'How to build a den'. We made our own bird feeders and then used our shapes and labelled parts of the text. Next, we had an experience day, we looked at a range of instruction texts and then played imperative verb games! It was fun.
In Maths, we have been counting on within 20 e.g., 12 + 4 and 11 + 7 etc. We have worked really hard to use resources to add these numbers and then putting the numbers in our head and then adding on. Again, a great job by us all!
In Geography, we started our new unit all about the UK and its seas. We talked about what the difference is between the ocean and a sea and then used the atlases to label the different seas around the UK.
We had PE on Monday with Miss Cheryl dancing and PE with Mr Godson on Wednesday, we also had Art with Mrs Freeman on Wednesday.
A great start to the new term, well done all!
Thursday & Friday - Miss Cragg
Welcome back everyone! Lovely to see all the smiling faces and hear all of the stories about Christmas.
We've hit the ground running this week, straight back into normality with recaps of our number bonds, part/whole models and finding a part in our Maths lessons along with adding one more. In English we've looked at rhetorical questions, alliteration and superlatives, bullet points, brackets and adjectives. Phew, lots to remember and even more to write about! We are enjoying writing instructions on our bird feeder topic.
In Science we have completed our first lesson in our new topic: Our Bodies. Our first lesson was all about how the human body changes from being born all the way to being an elderly person, the things we cannot do as babies and toddlers to what we'd like to do when we grow up. Lots of us want to ride a motorbike so get ready for that grown-ups!
Friday saw the return of Rock Kidz, a much anticipated date in our calendar. We love dressing up, rocking out and learning about the messages of morality they bring with them and perform in such a fun way. This year was all about anti-bullying. We had some great sing alongs and dance offs as part of our day. A spelling activity finished off our week. Speaking of spellings, from next week we will be introducing a new spelling and multiplication test every Friday. These will be sent home one week to be tested on the next week and the results will come home with your child each week.
Have a great weekend!
