As Mathematicians this week, we have been using our tools to help us multiply by 10 and 100, divide by 10 and 100 and recognise patterns in related facts. We made good use of the tools to help us calculate questions using the inverse and challenges.

Having learned the signifiers so that we could orally retell the story of ‘The King Who Banned The Dark’ we used our phonic knowledge and writing skills to write the story too. These students demonstrated amazing resilience whilst working this week and the smiles on their faces say it all, well done boys!
Last week in computing, we learned how to choose whether we should take a photograph in landscape or portrait mode. We revised these terms and used this knowledge to help us with our framing activity today. We used the paper frames to help us consider What makes a good photograph. We took into consideration focus, framing and distance.

Being photographers made us look more closely at details and as we went outside we found some really beautiful objects to photograph.

As Scientists this week, we were out and about identifying materials in our everyday environment. We worked well in pairs to identify the materials and then we had a chat about why that material worked well for its purpose. We were able to give good explanations such as “It is strong, it is waterproof, it won’t bend and it is colourful” as we though carefully about the objects use/function.
We are learning about London, its Geography and History in the HUB. This is a place that many of our class have visited so it captures our interest. We talked about the places that we had been and the places that we know when we looked at a variety of London landmarks. We talked about the shape of these places and used our sketch book to capture firstly the outline and then the detail within the shape. Our final pieces are hanging proudly in our classroom.
We were particularly proud of our classmate Amelia. The photograph below shows her first and final piece and the difference is AMAZING! She showed great resilience and responded well to feedback to create her detailed Wembley Sketch.
You are never too young to talk about mental health,
a leaflet for Parents and Carers 🙂
Blake for his excellent intensive interaction work! Blake has made great progress and we are all so very proud of him. He really enjoyed attending the Gold Book assembly today and seeing all of the other boys and girls, he sat smartly at the front and went up to collect his certificate from Mrs Marson with the largest, proudest smile on his face!
Making new friends feel welcome by teaching them a familiar game 🙂
Working in collaboration to investigate whether all surfaces reflect in our Science Lesson.
Working independently on our individual targets.
Today, we looked at the same piece by Alexander Calder but our focus was on skill development. We worked on how we held our brush, how we applied the colour and how we used small controlled strokes to cover an areas effectively with colour.
We were really very proud of our HUB team during the Cross Country Run this afternoon!
Lots of determination demonstrated here! Well done everybody!
