UKS2 family learning- using our strawberries to create a dessert!

Thank you so much to all of the parents and carers who came to our family learning event this afternoon. It was an amazing turn out!

Our children, parents and carers had the opportunity to use the freshly picked strawberries from yesterday’s fieldwork to make a dessert together. I know the children had so much fun. They are so passionate about the importance of utilising home-grown produce based on prior learning in their autumn Expedition and I know many shared their pledges with their parents today on how they will incorporate this into their every-day lives.

We hope you all enjoyed the tasty treats and we look forward to welcoming you all to our celebration of learning event on the 1st July to reveal our final product and to participate in our phase colour run, whilst raising money to support our children’s mental well-being. We can not wait!

Active Travel and National Sports Week

Well done to all the children who are continuing to walk or wheel to school, parking safe, getting active and helping save the planet. We’ve continued being active in school too, with active crew, active learning and active lining up! @SouthYorksMCA #WalkandWheelSY
The children enjoyed the scavenger hunt to find the different national flags from the Euro 2024 tournament as part of @YouthSportsTrust #NationalSportsWeek

Deaf School Recount

Yesterday, the children did a verbal recount of their school trip to The Deaf School. Then today the children worked hard to text mark the model recount. They got smart and learnt about the features used within a recount write. #LovePlover

Amazing Stories in F2!

The children loved the story we made up together so they made their own stories up. Mrs Bubb was so impressed with their imaginations, they got postcards! Can you see which characters are in our stories and where they are set?

What’s your pirate or mermaid name?

Today, we made up our own pirate and mermaid names. Some of us used a code to find letters that helped us make them. Some of us just used our imagination to make them up and some of us picked from the choices Mrs Bubb gave us to put together into a name. However we made our name, we loved being creative and having fun!

Our case study three fieldwork- strawberry picking!

Today Year 5 & 6 pupils built on their autumn expedition where they learnt about how growing your own produce can help protect our planet and how this links to our current Expedition ‘How can a healthy lifestyle impact your body and mind?’ Instead of purchasing strawberries from a shop, they spent the afternoon strawberry picking at a local strawberry field. They will be using the strawberries as part of our family learning event tomorrow. They were so impressed with how fresh all of the strawberries were and have shared that they want to encourage their family and friends to get involved with growing their own fruit and vegetables!

I can’t wait to see the outcome of the healthy desserts tomorrow!

Wonderful writers!

Well done to Raegan and Lucas who produced wonderful plans about local hero, Douglas Bader. Both boys tried so hard to not only do their neatest handwriting but also remember all the key information we had learnt. Well done boys, I can’t wait to see your final fact files!

Characters

In F2, we have been thinking about characters from the stories we have read. This week, we are thinking about characters for our own seaside adventures. We talked about them and then went to create them using drawings, paintings, models or play dough in provision.

Number bonds to ten in F2

We used our rekenreks to make ten. We used one finger one push to move a number of beads and then saw how many were left on the other side. We saw five and five make ten without even moving any beads. Now we need to learn the other number bonds to ten facts. If you see us, ask us how we can make ten. Mrs Bubb hopes we will be able to tell you some!
