Last week in KS1 the children enjoyed finding out all about keeping safe on the road. We were joined by Charlotte and Muffin the cat and learned all about how to walk safely near the road and how to safely cross the road using crossings. The children all enjoyed singing along and Stop, Look, Listen and cross in a straight line.
Thank you for coming to visit us, we loved it!
2P explored where lots of our food comes from through our ‘Farm in a box’. We looked at a wheat farmer and how they grow our wheat. After, we saw the journey our wheat makes to become flour and eventually our food. We looked at wheat plants and grain and even crushed some to see the flour inside! Our favourite part was matching animal poo to the correct animal because farmers see this as ‘black gold’.

It has been brilliant to see all of the children back after the break. They are all energised and excited to get into our new Expedition. This term, we are asking ourselves ‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’ 2P started by exploring our new English text ‘Supertato’. We used inference skills to predict what the story might be about. We then read the story and created our own superhero masks. In Expedition, we learnt a performance song all about bananas. The video is below for you to enjoy! We can’t wait to do our Bushtucker trial later in the week!

In 2L the children loved solving the mystery of what our new text is going to be in English. The children, completed jigsaws and matching activities before they put their inference skills to the test. The children used the front cover of the book and tried to work out who the book might be about, where it was set and what the story might be about. The children enjoyed listening to the story before they made their own superhero masks.
Dear Parent/Carer,
We are delighted to inform you about an online learning platform called NumBots that weāre using to support your childās understanding of number bonds and to help their addition and subtraction skills. These are the essential building blocks for higher-level maths concepts, so we are excited by the impact that NumBots will have on your childās learning.
We will also be celebrating children’s achievements each week in our community crew, where we will be presenting the children’s certificates.
Logging In
The children have been shown how to log in and have brought home a username label containing their unique login details. NumBots can be played on a browser (play.numbots.com) or via the app which is free to download on Amazon, Android and Apple devices. They may need help entering the details, but once theyāre in they will be able to play the game on their own.
Please ask your childās teacher if they are struggling to login.
Important: Please donāt allow siblings, friends or family to answer for them, as the programme progresses at the pace of each child. Do feel free to support your child if theyāre stuck and give them encouragement to keep trying even if it takes a number of times to complete a level.
Children should all have logged in at school and be aware of how to log in.
Little and often
In order to get the best out of NumBots, we recommend that children play regularly for short bursts at a time, aiming for 3 minutes, five times a week.
Game Types
Please let your childās teacher know if you have any questions or comments.Ā
After a busy term of learning, the children in 2L enjoyed sharing their learning with parents and carers last week. The children were the experts, teaching their grown ups all about our expedition, Rags to Riches, What Lies Within the Castle Walls? The children and parents did a quiz and then built catapults before testing them out.
We’d like to thank all the parents and carers who joined us for our celebration of learning and we look forward to having you back to join us for our next celebration of learning.
Mrs Lewis
