Hey everyone,

Happy end of term!!

This week we have finished out unit on 'ancient Egypt.' The children LOVED acting out the process of mummification. Acting out pulling out organs and stuffing each other with sawdust. We used toilet roll as linen cloths and had lots of fun!!

In our maths lessons we have begun to get ready for our multiplication check using the laptops. If you have any time over the holidays, please encourage children to practice their TTRS as this really helps.

The Chameleon's were superstars at swimming today and hey had lots of fun in the pool.

It has been a long term and they have all done so well, so hope they enjoy a break.

Have a lovely time half term,

Hello everyone,

This week in our maths lessons, the Chameleon's have been recapping, how to tell the time. We started the week by revisiting days, weeks and months. We then looked at seconds, minutes and hours, looking at all the different things we can do in different time amounts.

In English we finished writing out recount of our trip to Bristol Museum. Here the children used fronted adverbials for time to retell their experience.

In our art lesson this term ,we have been looking at the work of Salvador Dali. We have used both penicil and charcoal to explore the use of crosshatching to create tone within our art work. Next week we will move on to sketch the pyramids, linked into our unit on ancient Egypt.

Have a lovely weekend everyone,
Mrs Garland

Hey everyone,

This week in Maths, we have finished our unit on 'Addition and subtraction.' The children have enjoyed using column addition and column subtraction to work out calculations and worded problems. We have been using place value mats and counters to support.

In History we have continued our work on ancient Egypt. In this weeks lessons we learnt about the Pyramids of Giza, looking at how they got there and how they were made. We also had some fun writing our names in hieroglyphics.

In English we have begun a new unit where we are learning how to write instructions, using imperative verbs and co-ordinating conjunctions. Today we wrote a list of instructions for how to make a paper aeroplane and had fun flying them around the classroom.

Next Friday is our trip to Bristol Museum. If any of you wish to be additional parents helpers, do let me know.

Have a lovely weekend,

Hey everyone,

Again, we have had a brilliant week....despite all the rain.

This week we have been working hard on learning our 6 times tables. We have been using Funkey Times Table cards to help children remember these, using a selection of games.

In PE we have been playing some team building circle games, balloon volleyball as well as gymnastics.

In our unit on ancient Egypt we located Egypt on a world map, using an atlas and revisited our timeline in our classroom. We are very excited about our trip in several weeks time!

Hope to see some of you at the circus soon. If not, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Hey everyone,

What a brilliant first week we have had!!

In English we revisited our capital letters, full stops as well as looking at fronted adverbials and sentence openers. In Maths we started our first unit on 'Number and Place Value' where we partitioned and ordered numbers up to 1000.

In our PE lessons we had a super fun 'balloon volley' lesson. The children were all superstars in our swimming lesson on Friday too.

In science we have begun our unit on 'states and matter.' Here we looked at different objects and grouped them depending on whether they are a solid, liquid or gas.

Have a restful weekend,

Mrs Garland

Hey everyone,

The Chameleons should be so proud of themselves this week! They have been working very hard.

This week we had our speeches and vote for our next Young Leaders. So many were brave and came to the front of the class and gave a speech, not easy to do.

In PE we have had gymnastics and swimming!! This has been lots of fun.

In history we are continuing our unit on ancient Egypt, looking this week at the River Nile and how it helped the farmer grow their crops. We also learnt about the hierarchy of society in ancient Egypt.

In science we did a very messy science experiment, where we tested which liquid was faster.... honey, salad cream or washing up liquid. If you want to know the results, I will let you try it out at home :)

If any of you would be able to help on our school trip the Bristol Museum on Friday the 3rd of October, please let me know. We would love to have some of you join us.

Have a lovely weekend,
Mrs Garland
