English

We have beeen preparing for our Mother's Day assembly which is on Wednesday 6th March at 2.40pm in the hall.

We read the story My Mum by Anthony Browne. We have been writing prayers and descriptions of our mums.

Phonics

Some of us have been revising ch as in cheese and learning ch as in echo and ch as in chef.

Some of us have been finishing our ai spellings. We looked at eigh in eight, a in acorn and ea in steak.

Maths

We have been recapping the various 2D and 3D shapes. We also recapped the mathematical vocabulary of vertices, edges, sides and faces.

Science

We started our weather topic. We watched videos of different weather patterns - sunny, rainy, cloudy and snowy. We then drew our own pictures of each type of weather.

History

We learnt all about Florence Nightingale and how she is significant. We learnt that Florence helped change the way that hospitals are run and how she taught nurses to prevent diseases from spreading.

Art

We made our Mother's Day cards. We sketched a rose using our spiral technique that we learnt in Autumn term, then painted them.

Forest School

We made soup using water boiled in the Kelly Kettle. We made full use of the new shelter on one of the days when it was raining hard! 

It has been great to talk to you all on the parents nights. Thank you for all your amazing support.
