2P have been exploring the difference between the basic things that we NEED to survive in a habitat and the things that we might WANT. There were some very interesting discussions – especially around technology!

All about the shape!
Fabulous writers!
The children in 2L have been busy researching and writing about flamingos this week as part of our first Case Study on Air. They have written great reports using subheadings, paragraphs and photo’s. The children have tried their best to do their neatest handwriting and everyone did a beautiful piece of work
A big shout out to the children below who told Mr Sprakes all about their learning.
PE ⚽️
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! 🌟
On to the teens!
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.
KS1 Thursday
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.
KS1 Trip to The Deep
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.

Year 1/2 PE
For this half term, Year 1/2 will be doing gymnastics. Yesterday, they began by doing a warm up of Simon says to stretch and get themselves active. We then talked about what is gymnastics and began to stretch ourselves into shapes. I challenged them to remember the shapes I have taught them and they did a super job of being quick. They then performed a routine where they showed off their shapes and transitions on the mats, before ending it with practicing their roly polys. Well done year 1/2, I am super impressed!
Fun Facts about PARROTS! 🦜
This week 1/2K started exploring the book “The Big Book of Birds” for inspiration for our next piece of writing. As it is a non-fiction text we have looked at all the different features of a non fiction book and thought about what that might look like for our writing. Miss Ketteringham showed us a model text and to help us learn it, we drew a text map and acted out the information. Here is our performance.
