Class 3 Weekly Update

English: The children have been doing work linked to the General Election. They began the week with a reading activity, learning what the General Election is and what some of the parties manifestos were. They then formed their own parties and came up with a name, logo, slogan and manifesto. They used these to create posters and write some speeches for their campaign (please see post below for photos).

Maths: We began the week by revising the grid method for multiplication with some children progressing onto learning the column method for short multiplication. We have now moved on to learning the bus stop method for division, first with no remainders, then with remainders and finally when carrying is involved. We have been so impressed with how well the children have picked this up – well done Class 3!

D&T: The children have begun to make their packaging – this will be finished off over the next couple of weeks.

Geography: We have started a new geography topic called ‘Settlements’. We have thought about what early settlers would have needed and looked for when deciding on a place to live.

RE: We have finished off our work on ‘salvation’ and will be starting a new topic of ‘creation’ next week.

Other things that the children have done this week include filling out a pupil survey about our school and practising for the Concord College Choir competition next week.

Have a lovely weekend all!

Class 3’s General Election

Class 3 have worked extremely hard this week to prepare for their own General Election. The children were grouped into parties and came up with their own manifestos, party name, logo and slogan. A party leader was selected to run for Prime Minister and they have spent some of this week preparing a speech. The rest of the party created some campaign posters to persuade people to vote for them.

Today was voting day! The party leaders gave their speeches to the other parties as well as to some of Class 4, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Ansell and Miss Moran. We were all so impressed with how confident the party leaders were and with how well the other party members listened to each other.

All of Class 3 then took their polling card to the ‘Polling Station’ and cast their vote. They all behaved very well at the Polling Station, remembering to be quiet and to not talk to each other when in the booths.

Here are some photos for you to enjoy. Well done Class 3 for working so hard and making us all very proud!

One more thing…..the winning party will be announced in assembly tomorrow!

Class 2 Forest School

Year 1 and 2 children had brilliant first Forest School sessions today. We did lots of exploring of our Forest School site and the children were given the time to independently explore and use their imagination today. We enjoyed spotting bugs and creepy crawlies, we made bug houses, play areas for bugs and art out of sticks and leaves.

Please could I remind you that the children must have long sleeved trousers and tops as there are a lot of nettles and thistles in the area that have been pulled up from pathways however they are still in other areas of the site. Also could the children please bring a water proof coat just in case it should rain during a session.

Here are some pictures of our adventures today…

In the moment maths

This week the children have been in charge of their maths activities. On Monday a couple of children wanted to set up a shop. We discussed what they needed to do this. Several more children then joined in. The children began writing prices tags, then taking on the role of shopper and shop keeper. Some children used their maths knowledge to add and subtract to work out how much they needed to pay / how much change to give. Some children started to recognise that £1 is 100 pennies, but as that was a lot to count out they needed to group in 10’s, this then led to children using the 10p coins instead of of lots of pennies.

As the week has gone on more children have wanted to set up shop! Yesterday we looked at healthy foods, so a group of children decided that the shoppers would need a cafe so they could have a rest after shopping. Today we say children writing menus with healthy food on, taking orders and enjoying using the cafe.

All through the week, the adults in class have joined in and moved children on with their learning as and when needed.

Well done Class 1, so far we have seen some super counting, grouping, adding, subtracting and some wonderful organisation skills. I wonder what will happen next…
