Wow! What an exciting week we’ve had! Starting with our sports roundabout on Monday. The children had a fantastic time and showed amazing team spirit. Thank you to all of the families who came along to support.
Abbey House Museum…
On Tuesday, we had a brilliant trip to the treasure trove that is Abbey House Museum. The children enjoyed learning about holidays in the past, which ties into our current topic work. They tried on costumes, learnt about souvenirs, woolen swimsuits, the ‘penny lick’ ice-cream, Punch and Judy shows and more! Lunchtime was in the beautiful setting of Kirkstall Abbey and park, before more explorations inside the museum. The children were so sensible and we’re really proud of how they represented our school whilst out and about on our adventure. A big thank you again to our parent volunteers.
There are so many photos, that we’ve made a video. Enjoy!
Literacy…
The children used their experience of the trip, to write recounts of their day. We discussed how we can use words such as ‘first’, ‘next’, ‘later’ and ‘finally’ to show how time has moved on and to sequence the events of the day.
Maths…
As we move through the last few weeks of the school year, we are revisiting and revising skills. This week we worked on recall- remembering number bonds within five automatically and some within ten. In provision, we have supported this through using part-whole models to again explore the parts that make a whole number.
Here are some more snapshots of learning this week…
Home-Link Challenge
Oooo arrrrrr… next week we’ll be embarking on a pirate themed adventure! We’d like you to use some old packages, boxes and other reusable materials to make a pirate themed accessory. It could be a treasure chest, a telescope or even a parrot!
