On Monday we went to Kinetic Adventure in Claydon (near Ipswich). We learnt all about the sizes of planets, the International Space Station and even had a go at a few science experiments. We had a lovely day and would recommend everyone to look out for the offers they have over half terms and on […]
In a recent Woodpeckers computing lesson, we looked at Sketchpad on the Chromebooks. This is a free website that allows you to draw, write and colour. We thought about what astronauts might take onto the International Space Station and then drew our pictures of items in their bag using Sketchpad.
On our trip to Flatford, we had a wonderful tour guide who spoke about John Constable and the history of Flatford. We created our own drawings, discussed the use of the river in the past and learnt about John Constable’s life. Here are some of the pictures from that day.
In Science we are looking at Isambard Kingdom Brunel. He was an engineer who created tunnels, bridges, ships and docks. One of Brunel’s many creations was building the biggest ship of his time. We decided to plan and carry out an investigation into creating a tin foil boat that can hold as many pennies as […]
In Swans, we have been looking at writing relative clauses (using relative pronouns), prepositional phrases and expanded noun phrases using the picture book ‘The Arrival’. We then edited our work, improving word choices and checking for spelling or punctuation errors in order to publish our final paragraphs this week. These are some of the finished […]
This week in Woodpeckers, we have started looking at multiplying numbers together. Learning our times tables through TT Rockstars, or playing Hit the Button (which is a website you can find by googling!) is so important to all areas of mathematics. We will use our times table knowledge to solve longer word problems at the […]
In English, we have been using our senses to imagine what Victorian London may have been like. We thought about what we could see, hear and smell if we were there. In our writing we tried to use adventurous adjectives and some expanded noun phrases. After editing our work in our English books, we published […]
In English, we are looking at the story of Cinderella. We have learnt skills such as using commas in lists, prepositional phrases and have tried to use adventurous vocabulary. Today we wrote our story opening and tried to include these skills. Here is some of our work so far:
This week we have published our writing; a report about Sutton Hoo. We learnt the need for a heading and subheadings and presenting our information clearly. We found our information through watching short clips, reading books and investigating who may have been buried in the boat. Some of our published pieces are below.
This week in RE, we have been learning all about forgiveness and why forgiveness is an important part of being a Christian. We looked at the story of The Lost Son and thought about what lessons it taught to Christians. We also discussed The Lord’s Prayer and why it is important for Christians to follow […]
In maths this half term, both year groups have looked at place value. We identified what each digit represented in a two or three digit number and could partition given numbers into hundreds, tens and ones.
This week and last week we have been learning about the simple past and the simple present tense. We found out that regular verbs add the suffix -ed to make them the simple past tense. Some irregular verbs changed completely when talking about the past, e.g. fight to fought. Usually, the present simple verb doesn’t […]
