We were kindly given New Testaments for our Year 6 children from Good News for everyone (previously Gideons). We were able to give these out to all those who wanted one today. We talked about different people believing different things and it was their choice if they wanted one.
Today, year 3 enjoyed family learning in the hall, where we made chocolate fudge, chocolate pops, and engaged in different Fairtrade arts and crafts activities.
In maths this week we are continuing to solve problems using direction and number bonds. The children had to read the clues and follow the directions. When they had found where the treasure was, there was another clue. Using 10 frames and their knowledge of number bonds, they had to solve the problem for the pirate.
Rishaa was confident at giving directions and tried to help her friends by drawing the directions as they moved. She realised that it depended which way you were facing for left and right and kept turning the paper round. She then realised that forwards and backwards didn’t match left and right!
A sneak peek behind the scenes in KS1 this afternoon. We have been movie stars this afternoon, filming videos in front of a green screen with Geoff! This will be for our final product and we are so excited to share it with you. A big thank you to Geoff for filming and Plover’s own experts Joe, Zuzanna and Rahoz for being the best directors EVER!
Well done to Ariana and Hunter who have earned the F2 Pride of Plover badges this week. They were both chosen for being kind and setting an excellent example to our F2 crew.
As part of our celebration of learning next week, the children have created treasure maps. They then voted for the three they thought were the best to be used in a game. These were our competition winners. Well done girls.
Today in maths we used lots of directional words and position words. The children were able to use forwards, backwards and sideways. Some of the children are competent at using left and right.
We moved around the different places in the story.
This week we have been looking at repeating patterns. We used paint to create repeating patterns on the buntings, ready for our celebration of learning. We then used our fine motor skills to write our names on the back, and cut out the bunting. Reminder; we would love to see as many of you as possible at our celebration of learning! On Thursday 4th July at 2pm.
In this terms We care Wednesday, we have been learning about a how to look after our body. We have learnt about what a balanced diet is and have designed our own healthy meal.
