We took our learning outside last week and embarked on a question word hunt. The children worked in teams to see how many question words they could find in our playground. We enjoyed being out in the sun and working collaboratively with our friends.
We then came into the classroom to turn our words into sentences (and not forgetting a question mark either!) We then all wrote a question sentence based on something we had seen in our book.

Better late than never!
To introduce our new topic, North, East, South, West, we opened up our own Plover Airport. As part of our experience day in 1CR we designed our very own passport for our upcoming adventures and talked about what our dream destinations are! We learned about our personal information and why it is important to know it.
We then had Mrs. Malik as an expert. Mrs. Malik worked in the aviation industry for a number of years in all different roles. She has been a highflying air hostess, travelling all over the world but as also had other roles at Heathrow Airport and Doncaster. The children used the time to ask her questions about her experiences.
After lunch we had our 1CR aeroplane. We watched an in flight safety video and prepared for take off! The children enjoyed some squash on the plane whilst watching a documentary about āThe Day in the Life of a Pilotā.
To finish our day we followed instructions to make paper aeroplanes. We then took them outside to see who could throw theirs the furthest. A big well done to Ariana who was our overall winner!

A huge thank you to all of you wonderful grown-ups who attended our Celebration of Learning on Friday. It was wonderful to see your children so excited to show you what they had been learning; they have definitely taught me some things about William the Conquerer! We hope you enjoyed the quiz and making a catapult.
Thank you so much to those wonderful parents who joined us this afternoon for our celebration of learning. They delivered a wonderful presentation of our learning and it was so great to see everyone being super brave to say their own parts. I am so proud of all of you 1/2K!
The children have worked so hard this term as both local Geographers and local Historians. They have shown great enthusiasm learning more about the things they see all the time and I am so proud of their achievements. We were especially proud of our final product. We have created a scheme of learning to teach others BSL, we hope to spread this around to educate and open up conversations for as many people as we can. This has been something that has been very important in our classroom and the impact for our children really has been something special to be a part of.
In our lesson today we were recognising and finding half of a quantity. We know from our previous lessons that finding a half is when there are two equal groups. Around the room we had different numbers that the children worked in groups to find half of.
We then talked about having an odd numbers. We cannot find a half of an odd number as there will always be a spare.
Just look at the beautiful work Almina created at home! She has made an entire ocean in a tank and included examples of pollution, which is harming our sea creatures. This is linked to our current expedition in Key Stage 1; The Blue Planet. She also wrote this beautiful piece explaining why it is important that we look after our oceans!
Well done Almina! I am very proud!
