The children have been using their design technology skills to create their badges.
They chose the correct materials, added them to the machine and then created their final product badge. We can’t wait to share these with you later in the term.

KS1 Pride of Plover
We are artists.
After learning about the Great Fire of London, 2P developed their art skills so that they could use them to produce a piece of art that is inspired by the fire. We learnt about the primary colours and then mixed them to create the secondary colours. We discussed how colours can evoke feelings of warm and cold and used this to create a sun and moon image using these colours. We then used this knowledge to mix colours to create a background wash that looked like fire and we applied this in layers using sponges. We then used our cutting skills to create a cityscape silhouette to layer onto the background we had painted. We did some brilliant art!

We are being active …
This week we have had fun being active in the hall and on the field. We have used a range of different movements and shown courage to have a go at something that has been tricky.
Pride of Plover
It was brilliant to see the first winners of our Pride of Plover in KS1. We heard about children showing resilience, determination, hard work and above all, respect. It was lovely to hear how the children have made a positive impression on the adults in KS1 with the effort that they have put into their learning. Well done, everyone!

We are ARTISTS!
We are starting our unit of art and this will include painting. If possible, could you please send the children in with a spare top that you do not mind getting dirty.
Thank you!

Buttering our own bread
We have been practising independent in our snack time this week and buttered our own toast. Look how good we are at this skill. Yummy!
Counting Fun
We have had lot’s of fun practising our counting skills this week. We have had fun in the water tray with 10 little ducks and the interest tray with 5 little speckled frogs.
We are Historians.
2P have been History detectives as we explored the events of the Great Fire of London. We pieced together evidence to see if we could work out who or what was to blame for the fire starting and spreading. We discussed the evidence from different sources and concluded that it was the result of several factors, including the weather, Thomas Farriner, the Lord Mayor of London, and the way houses were built. We followed that up by looking at evidence from different artefacts that archaeologists have discovered, along with diary evidence from Samuel Pepys, to work out what we could learn about London in 1666. We are getting really good at identifying the cause and effects of events at the time!

What is the value?
2P have been busy exploring numbers and the number system and recognising the tens and ones digits in 2-digit numbers. We have made numbers with different resources and identified the parts and wholes of different numbers. We are now exploring how we can use this knowledge to identify numbers on number lines. Great work!
