In Maths we compared groups by matching colours, shapes and objects.

Term Four
Scholastic Draw Along Live Stream
We signed up for a live stream event where we listened to the story "That's my flower!" along with 1026 other schools across the country! We were taught how to draw an illustration for this book. Have a look at our fabulous drawings!
Term Five
English
In their recent English lesson, the children were introduced to a selection of intriguing objects placed around the classroom—each one a clue from a story they have yet to read. Using these key items, the class engaged in rich discussions, guided by open-ended questions such as “Where would you find such items?” and “What might this story be about?” The children first identified and named the objects, then explored how they might be connected, imagining possible settings, characters and plot lines. This exciting activity encouraged curiosity, prediction and critical thinking, laying the groundwork for the story they’ll soon uncover together.
