We are scientists!

Today we have been talking about the changes we can see in our plants, since planting the seeds. We spoke about the roots, shoots, leaves and stalk and how you need to be gentle with them as hey are living things. We learnt that plants need sun, water and to eat nutrients from the soil, to grow. We did some active learning to help us remember which are the roots and which are the shoots.

Super Subitisers!

Tommy, Rivier and Isla-Grace have been working hard to subitise. Today, they showed they have smashed subitising and can do it easily! They rolled the dice and did not need to count. They then matched the numicon tile ( without counting the circles) to their number block board. They took turns and played by the rules. The first one to cover all their numberblocks was the winner! 🥇 We love playing maths games 🎲

Playing Handa’s Surprise

Today, we played ‘Handa’s Surprise’, after we had read the story. We used blocks to build the path and the trees and then moved the characters around our great big story mat. The cheeky animals kept stealing the fruit and running off with it! We talked and collaborated so we all knew how to play and tell the story. It was fun and Mrs Bubb was so impressed with the story language we were using in our play. Tomorrow, we might steal the fruit so we can have a taste!

Smashing their revision!

Not only are these superstars coming to school early every day to be a part of our pre-teach and completing daily work in their CPG books but they ALSO completed a revision extension as part of a consolidation challenge over the weekend.
An amazing example of ‘getting smart’. 10 crew coins each you superstars!

F2BP Pride of Plover

Otis was our Pride of Plover today. He is an amazing example of the Plover Pledge. He works very hard and challenges himself in his learning. He is kind to his friends and helps them in their learning. It is such a pleasure having Otis in our class. Well done Otis.
