Repeating Patterns

Yesterday in maths we were looking at extending and spotting errors in ABAB repeating patterns. The children were really good at doing this using the coloured counting bears, so we decided to see if we could get ourselves into a repeating pattern.

Shoutout to Chester that extended his learning by being able to correct and error, in a repeating pattern of 3 colours! Also to Ocean and Kara that worked together to create a repeating pattern using the soft play blocks, during our PE session.

Sequencing Toothbrushing

Last week we worked on developing our scissor skills. I was so proud at how many children could not only could make snips in paper, but could independently cut out their pictures. Once the pictures were cut out, we had to stick them in the right order, then use our mathematical language (first, then) to explain our sequence and events.

Pride Of Plover

This week our two pride of Plover winners are Thomas and Mesut! Both boys have really impressed us with their focus and determination, when practising scissor skills in class. Keep working hard!

Thomas is always a kind member of our crew, supporting his peers and having lovely manners.

Mesut has been working hard to improve his listening, and now is engaging much better in adult directed tasks.

Travel Tracker badges

Well done to those in 3B who have earned their travel tracker badge this past month for choosing environmentally friendly, healthier alternatives to travelling to school by walking, scootering or cycling. Keep it up to see if you can earn the badge for February!

Orla Kiely inspired artwork in Y2

Today in 2L we began our Orla Kiely inspired artwork. We have found out about Orla’s bold, printing style and we have used that to create our own work of art. The children are looking forward to completing their work later on in the week.

Can you guess what our artwork might be?

Our spring booster prize for Year 6!

We are so proud of those children who are attending boosters each morning. We wanted to share our latest prize for those children who attend 95% or more of booster sessions with a McDonalds breakfast on the last day of this term.

Boosters run from 8:20 each morning and consist of independent maths on a Monday, teacher led SPaG on a Tuesday, teacher led reading on a Wednesday and small focus group maths on a Thursday. It would be amazing to see ALL year 6 pupils attending these sessions.

Building our crew

As part of Motivation Monday, Year 5&6 pupils had to write unknown facts about themselves to place in the centre of the circle. They then each took it in turns to guess who had written the fact. In our debrief, we discussed how we had learnt a lot about people we thought we already knew quite well and we then linked this to sharing what type of ā€˜learnerā€™ we all are so we can support one anotherā€™s styles academically.
