Autumn 2

Week 1

Our Poppy display for Remembrance Day.

 

We've ended the half term with a cosy read & a celebration of all of our hard work and learning. Well done Otters we are so very proud of you! Have a fantastic and well earned half term break and come back refreshed ready for Autumn 2!

 

 

We had a horrible shock this morning to find our book corner had been completely trashed and blocked off! Luckily the otters were able to solve maths clues to catch the cluprit.

Week 7

In Maths, we have been exploring how to add 10 using tens and ones. We used practical resources to add another ten and noticed that while the tens increased by one, the ones stayed the same.

Week 6

For art this week we did wax resist-using our sketching techniques from the previous weeks. We looked at the features of our leaves, drew them in white chalk and then used water colours to see the imprint.

 

Week 5

In History, we have been learning about Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole and their journeys during the Crimean War. We created a timeline to explore the key events in their lives and work. We then brought history to life by turning our classroom into a Crimean War hospital! We pretended to be Florence Nightingale, Mary Seacole and the nurses caring for injured soldiers. We acted out how the nurses treated the soldiers and helped them get better, giving us a fun and memorable way to understand their important work.

Week 4

We have been so otterly busy this week the ipad hasn't been out. We tested different materials during science, working well in groups. 

During PE we consolidated our unit of ball skills. Using control to weave our ball in and out of cones.

We have also been very busy learning our 2 and 3 times table-counting on in groups. Ask your children about our very seasonal 3 x table song.

What a fabulous week we have had :) thanks as always for all of your support with their learning, reading and homework.

Week 3 

This week for art we looked at the work of Yayoi Kusuma and her dot painting. We created our own designs using otters as our inspiration.

Week 2 

This week we reflected on how we learn and approach new tasks. We learned how to use chopsticks :)
