Autumn 1

Mobile Mystery

We are Storytellers...

We had a Storyteller visit Bridgetown and the children took part in a workshop. Using a range of instruments, interesting objects and movement the children engaged with creating stories.

In maths we continued work on place value - tens and ones - comparing, ordering, partitioning, writing in expanded form and using different representations. 

Please continue to practise KIRFs at home. The Numbots are up and running too :) 

This week the children observed and compared telephones over the years - looking at similarities and differences.

In music they listened to and sang different ring tones - again noticing technological changes.

In English they looked at text features - the word choices the author has used and they wrote a short burst to describe a setting from The River

In groups the children drew pictures, annotated and talked aboout our core values- unpicking what Ready, Respectful and Safe means and what that looks like in practise.

They added details about the morning and school routines and developing reslience, independence and stratgies to help us manage our feelings and behaviour.

Paddington's Passport

06.03.2026 Learning about Continents and Countries

This week we have focussed on finding out where Paddington Bear came from! We've used atlases, maps and the globe to look at countries and continents, and discussed where in the world we have been to.

One child told us that the capital city of Bulgaria is Sofia, in the continent of Europe; another that in North America, Ottowa is the capital city of Canada. Together, we found many other examples. 

We enjoyed the group jigsaw challenge of putting together a world map highlighting the continents, and loved singing the Continent Song (listen out for it on our class assembly!) as well as playing continent twister!

Spring 1

One Day Many Ways

We made fantasy terrariums for a magical creature and wrote instructions.

In our Dimensions topic work we tasted and cooked breakfasts from around the world.

We learned to chop, peel, grate, slice, whisk, spread, pour, measure, stir, mix, spinkle and stir.  

As part of the Dimensions Science curriculum we looked at different food groups and decided which of our breakfasts gave us a balanced meal.
