We looked at some adorable photos of our crew as toddlers and babies. The children spoke about what they couldnāt do but can do now as a child. Having met a real life baby and toddler this week they came up with really good comparisons. #LovePlover
6B are leading their own learning in maths!
6B have been working hard on their academic pledges. This afternoon, they have been leading their own learning and working on their areas for development in maths. They have used models and our maths revision site to support. They are excited to smash their pledge this week!

Classification or chaos?
A bit of both if Iām honest!
Grouping animals using scientific terms such as vertebrate, mammal, reptile (and many more) was more tricky than many of us first thought it would be. However, we quickly discovered that it was our understanding of the terms that we were struggling with, not the grouping of the animals. So, we followed our HoWL of Get Smart and used a range of information sheets, as well as some great videos, to help us with our understanding of the key vocabulary.
Now we are able to group animals using their classification group with a lot more accuracy.
Keep using the information around you to Get Smart 3H; and the progress in your knowledge and understanding will be great!

Expert visitor workshop with Phil Sheppard
Everyone absolutely loved our expert visitor, Phil Sheppard, who came to school to tell us more about our key text: The Iron Man, written by Ted Hughes. Not only did we learn more about the author and the book, but we were also told about The Mexborough Iron Man Trail. This wasnāt allā¦he also taught us all how to drawn our own Iron Man. We are so proud of the beautiful work we produced!
Whoād have thought itād be so easy to draw The Iron Man? Thank you, Phil, for coming. We all learnt so much and are going to design our own robots using the skills you taught us later this week!

Active Scientific Learning in Year 3
Year 3 have played food chain tag today. Some of us pretended to be grass, which was eaten by those of us who were deer. Then in turn, the deer were eaten by the wolves. Seeing the visual effect of this food chain made us realise that the wolves were the apex predators in this example. The children had fun, got active and learnt lots all at the same time.

Marvellous manipulatives!
In Year 3, we have been using manipulatives to deepen our understanding of equal grouping as our first step into Multiplication and division. Children have successfully used cubes to represent requests such as 6 equal groups of 5 and 5 equal groups of 6, making links that they have the same total value. Well done everyone, you worked really hard; used the cubes to get smart; were kind to others by helping out when needed; and produced some beautiful work too! Thank you Year 3ā¦you rock!

Physical Development
See How Things Grow – Hook Week
Welcome Back!
It has been brilliant to see all of the children back after the break. They are all energised and excited to get into our new Expedition. This term, we are asking ourselves ‘How can I be the healthiest version of me?’ 2P started by exploring our new English text ‘Supertato’. We used inference skills to predict what the story might be about. We then read the story and created our own superhero masks. In Expedition, we learnt a performance song all about bananas. The video is below for you to enjoy! We can’t wait to do our Bushtucker trial later in the week!

Toddler Visit
Today, we had the cutest visitor ever! Our children loved comparing and learning the difference between a baby and a toddler. They asked some fab questions to find out what our toddler Gracie can and canāt do. Thank you to Beth and Gracie, you brought so much joy to everyone in EYFS this morning! #LovePlover
