Maths outside

This week we have been learning about the composition of numbers and today we have been making 7 in different ways. The children used Nuimicon and cubes as part of their indoor learning.

During outdoor play they played a game with a hoop and 7 bean bags. They had to say how many were in or out of the hoop and the equation that matched. They were very competitive!

Final Product

We practised drawing our gingerbread men and decided how we wanted to decorate them. We thought carefully about what body parts we needed to draw for our gingerbread man and how we could use the sweets/chocolates as buttons and eyes.

Following our plan, we then decorated our gingerbread men that we baked. We used coloured icing drawn details, and as glue to get the toppings to stick.

Baking Our Final Product

This week we have been following instructions to help us bake gingerbread men, for our final product. We enjoyed mixing the ingredients together and kneading it to make a dough. Then we rolled out the dough and used the cutter to create the shape of our biscuit.

Danum Read Aloud Competition

After a rigorous round of heats and a highly competitive semi-final, our Read Aloud Finalists really did themselves proud!

Reading the openings from a variety of books, they performed in front of the KS2 children with great confidence and to a very high standard.

It was a very difficult decision to choose a winner but I am very pleased to announce that Johnny Connor in 5M was selected to represent our school at the Doncaster Final later in March at the Danum Museum and Art Gallery.

Good Luck Johnny, I am sure you will be great!

World Book Day – Wonderful Work

Well done to all the children who entered the Book in a Box competition. They were all so excellent, we really couldn’t pick a winner, so everyone is going to get a prize – I will be coming round this week so you can choose your prize book!

Thank you for taking part! They are all now proudly displayed in the library area of school, if you want to have a look.
