Our visit from our local fire brigade.

We all had a turn with the hose. It was so powerful that the fireman had to hold the hose while we pulled back the lever. We had great fun!

We were learning to order numbers smallest to largest.

Patterns in Number

Finding and Recognising 2D and 3D Shapes

Procedural Writing - How to Make a Bird Feeder

After watching a video clip on the Media Library we were able to write the instructions and then made our own bird feeders. When they have hardened we will hang the feeders in our school grounds.

Investigating 2D and 3D Shapes

We were investigating 2D and 3D shapes. The Year 2 pupils were investigating which 3D shapes roll/don't roll. The Year 3 pupils were investigating the number of edges, corners, whether the shapes rolled or stacked and what they discovered. Year 1 were identifying rectangles and circles and sorted them into the table.

We had great fun during our 3D shape party. We looked at all our party food to see which 3D shapes we had, gave Spencer Bear his birthday cards, ate our food and even danced! We are great movers!

We have been learning about procedural writing. During shared reading we were learning to find the bossy verbs. We learned that these are the verbs which tell us what to do.

We all took part in our Nativity - "Mary's Knitting." Some of us were actors and some were narrators, we were very proud of ourselves!
