Week 1
It's been lovely to see all the children back and excited about their learning.
In English we have been reading "Greta and the Giants" by Zoe Tucker and Zoe Persico. This book was inspired by Greta Thunberg's stand to save the world so we have been learning about Greta Thunberg's life. Her slogan "No one is too small to make a difference" made us think about some things we could do to help our environment, and so, ahead of Earth Day next week, we made some simple Planet Pledges such as switching off lights and growing more flowers.
In Forest School we went on a bug hunt spotting spiders, snails, and ladybirds among many other creatures. We also went worm charming!
In Maths we revisited our number bonds to 5, by singing "5 Little Kittens", and the composition of numbers 5 - 10 using 5 and a "bit".
In PE we are learning about dance with the Sports Coaches.
Week 2
This week we have been Historians and learnt all about castles. We made a list of all the things we thought we knew about castles and then a list of the things we would like to find out. We looked at several non-fiction books to find the answers to our questions.
On Thursday we had a Medieval day. We tried tapestry and archery and we made Medieval Honey Cake, although we used a modern oven to cook it!
In Maths we have revised sequencing numerals by finding the missing numerals and revised our knowledge of number bonds to 5.
