Today we are acting our pirate, mermaid and sea creature stories. The children have extended their learning by creating a pirate boat and pirate/mermaid masks. We are having lots of fun pretending to sail away to a desert island.
After leaning about all of the activities that we can take part in at the seaside, we are beginning to explore what magical adventures we could have with pirates and mermaids…….. We made our pirate hats and took our flag to sea on our pirate ship.
Mr Meade and Mrs Price took five Y1 and five reception children to learn a bit about Armthorpe’s mining history! Our children have also planted a time capsule of their beautiful expedition work, which will be re-opened in 5 years time! This was a beautiful experience which links very closely to both EYFS and KS1’s current expeditions.
Thank you grown ups for your cooperation as always! #LovePlover
Well done to our F2 yellow tshirt winners this week, Lita and Avaarni.
Lita has been trying so so hard with her learning this week and has shown great perseverance. She is becoming a lot more confident in answering questions in class and trying things for herself.
Avaarni has been extremely kind to her peers and other visitors that we have had in school. She showed compassion to children that visited from Heatherwood School and engaged beautifully with them, asking lots of questions.
In maths today the children each had a role. One person had to spin the spinner and tell their partner the double they needed to make. The other person had to make the double and say the equation. they then swapped over. Lots of children were able to say doubles and could check if their answers were correct.
As part of our third case study we are learning about characters in stories related to the sea. We had a wonderful time pretending to be pirates today.
The children used a range of equipment to create hats, eye patches, maps, telescopes and a boat.
In maths this week we are learning about doubles. We created a game today to get the pirates to the treasure. The children had to roll a double to move towards the treasure. They took turns and celebrated the winners.
Some of the children whilst exploring maths equipment today made an enclosure for the dinosaurs. This led to discussions about sorting and pattern as well as counting the number of posts in the fence.
