Meeting the Author

3LS have really enjoyed sharing the book ‘Protect the Planet’ by Jess French. Today we had the pleasure of meeting the author online and even asking her some questions.

Author Zoom Call

All children in KS2 received a copy of the book ā€˜Protect the Planet’, as a gift from the Literacy Trust. Today, we are so excited that we were invited to join a call with Jess French, the author.

Data collecting

We have been collecting data in 4L about the different nationalities of children in our class. We started by collecting the data as a tally chart and then working collaboratively to produce a graph to show the data.

Plover Praise in 3G

As I wasn’t in class yesterday morning , I found it hard to select a Plover Praise Postcard receiver, so I chose two today.

Ella has come into school and worked incredibly hard, even though she was a not 100%. She has grappled with Bar Charts and not given up and I am really proud with her great attitude to learning.

Well done, Ella,

Our Plover Praise Postcard went to Paul today for how much effort he put into his learning today.

Well done Paul, big improvement, keep it up!

Marvellous Maths in 3G

We have been learning about graphs and charts this week in maths.

To help us to practise our tally charts and pictograms, we decided to investigate how many different coloured smarties there were in a bag – this had the added incentive of being able to eat the smarties!

We did some greater charts and really improved our maths skills, as we had to grapple with how to create the pictograms.

How has our community grown?

Today we have been investigating how are community is made up and how it has changed over the years. We have used our maths skills to create a tally to record our countries of origin. We have discovered that intake has become more diverse and people from all over the world have migrated here.

Where do your family originate from? How far have they travelled?

Plover postcard

Today’s postcard goes to Sumit. Sumit has been very mature and responsible today. He has made sensible choices and seeked out adults when he needed help.

Well done Sumit!
