This afternoon 1/2K took part in an online learning lesson all about Birds. As part of the lesson we learned about lots of different varieties of birds that we might find here in the U.K. and what we can do to help look after them as lots of birds are losing their habitats.
We had lots of fun taking part in the quiz online!
Key Stage 1 have been learning about the importance of plants and trees to our planet but also about how they provide habitats for birds and other wildlife. Today, we started work on our final product for our expedition. Using our experts from the Council, we have planted 5 fruit trees to create a mini-orchard and also many different types of plants to create a hedgerow along the boundary of the fence.
We learnt about how to care for our newly planted saplings and also how we can protect them whilst they are still establishing themselves in their new home. We can’t wait to see how they grow and develop in the months and years to come. Hopefully, one day, we will have apples, pears, cherries and plums to eat!
The trees and hedges were kindly provided by the Tree Council as part of their Orchards for Schools project.

In our PE lesson this week, we were practicing dribbling the ball using small touches. The children were then asked to work as a team to race each other to see who could complete the course the fastest.
The children we then challenged further by having more cones to move through. We had lots of fun with Coach Morgan & Coach Adam!
Big Congratulations to Lola and Joe, our sports stars of the week! 🌟
In Maths this week we have been exploring the numbers 11-16. We used our tens frames to represent the numbers and found that they all had 1 ten. We had to make sure that when we write them that the 1 always goes first (because it’s a bossy teen!)
Before starting the teen numbers, we recapped all the different ways we could make 10.
Tomorrow, we will have the opportunity to work with DMBC Street Scene to begin planting our Mini Orchard and hedges in the KS1 area.
Children will be outside for short periods tomorrow. Please could we ask that all children have hat, gloves and a coat. If children have wellies, it would be great if they could be sent in to school in a plastic bag to allow the children to change their footwear.
As part of our Spring Term expedition, The Blue Planet: How will what I do today impact tomorrow?’, we would like to take the opportunity to take our KS1 children to complete fieldwork at The Deep in Hull. The visit will be a full day where the children can see the spectacular aquariums with over 3500 fish and other marine life.
We will also be participating in a Save Our Seas workshop, which will help us answer our guiding question – How will what I do today impact tomorrow?
To keep costs as low as possible the trip will be split across two days, 13th and 14th March.
1C, 2L and a group from 12K will visit on the 13th March 2024.
1M, 2P and a group from 12K will visit on the 14th March 2024.
Children will bring home a letter tonight confirming the date they will be visiting The Deep. The letter will also contain details of clothing and packed lunches.
Payment and consent details are available on Parentpay
If you have any questions, please speak to a member of the team.
