Author Event
This afternoon, our school librarians were fortunate enough to attend an author event held at Allerton C of E Primary School. They met author, Dermot O’Leary, who discussed his inspiration and anwered questions.
Living and learning: losing something
This week in our Living and Learning lessons we were talking about feeling sad when we lose something. We talked about objects, animals and people we have lost. The children could talk about feeling sad, heartbroken and devastated. We also talked about feeling disappointed, angry, worried or scared too.
Help at home by talking about emotions and how to recognise them and how any one emotion doesn’t last forever.
Egg-cellent egg rolling Easter fun!
All of the Year 1 and 2 classes went out and enjoyed our egg rolling competition today. We cheered each other on and celebrated the winners together!
We hope you all have a restful Easter break and come back recharged for learning on Tuesday 22 April
Maths – 10 and a bit
In year 1, we have been learning all about ’10 and a bit’ numbers (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19). We have looked at multiple representations of these numbers including Numicon, dominoes, counters, ten frames and place value charts. Seeing and using all these representations helps us to understand and use the numbers successfully.
Help at home by noticing ’10 and a bit’ numbers. For example, is your house number one of these?
Science
We have learned lots about plants and animals this year so far. We grew plants in the light and dark to see what happened (the one in the dark did not grow well). Plants need water AND light to grow strong and healthy.
We also learned about animals and their habitats. Their habitat needs to provide them with food, shelter and water for them to survive.
1,2B celebrated all we learned about plants, animals and habitats by drawing detailed habitats and all the living things that are found there.
April Fools!
We played a joke with the lunches in 1,2B…worm bolognaise anyone?
Living and Learning : feeling good and being me
We talked about what we are good at and what we are not so good at last week. Working on personal targets to improve something that you do is very important. It is also important to recognise what other people are good at. We wrote certificates for our friends to pay them a compliment (focusing on what other people do rather than what they look like is important). We loved giving and receiving the certificates.
You are a good friend.
You are good and football and colouring in the lines.
You are kind.
You are helpful.
We’re Living and Learning!
Living and Learning in class 2C.
Last week our living and learning statement was ‘I can give and receive compliments.’ We talked about the things we are proud of and what we have achieved. It is important to celebrate what we are good at!
Each child wrote a certificate for somebody else and wrote them a personal compliment. See some of our certificates below!
This week our Living and Learning statement is ‘I know how to cope with change.’ We discussed how we have felt in the past when we have lost something that was imoportant to us. Some children mentioned physical objects, whilst others discussed pets or family members.
We also discussed who helps us when we are feeling unhappy, anxious or worried and what sorts of things can cheer us up.
We know that everyone will experience loss and it is important that we know how to deal with this.
