The Great Fire of London

This half term Year 1 will be learning all about 'The Great Fire of London'.
This pupil was very proud to share with the class his adventures in London.
He saw the Monument that was built to remember the fire and visited the streets (Pudding Lane and Seething Lane) where the fire took place in 1666.
He was brave and climbed all of the 311 steps to the top of the tower and back down again!
Year 1 can not wait to use their Historical Enquiry skills to find out more about the events that happened in 'The Great Fire of London'.

Planting beans

In 1L this week we planted beans by: filling our cup with soil, pushing our bean down into the soil, watering the soil and bean, then placing it on the window sill so it can get some sun to help it grow.

We are all excited to look after the plants, by watering them regularly, and watching them grow tall!

Fingers crossed for some sunshine...

Loopy maths with loop cards!

In Year 2 this week we've been practicing different ways of doing division as part of our learning journey. We've practiced using groups, started learning about repeated subtraction, found ways to solve division mentally and even started a little bit of work on remainders.

To apply the skills that we have practiced or maybe even learnt this week, we played a bit of a game with a partner. This also helped us apply our skills from our previous learning journeys of addition, subtraction and multiplication.

We used our skills to see if we could complete a loop of Loop Cards using all four operations. After we finished our loop, we had a go at making our own (which some of us found very tricky!) and then swapped around our cards to see if they worked. One thing we really had to practice was our maths presentation skills because otherwise our friends wouldn't be able to read it!

Have a look at our work:

The half term mystery in Year 4...

This morning, year 4 discovered the mystery silver heap in their classrooms (shown in the previous post). After investigating and having a closer look, we had a go at predicting what it could be, where it could have come from and how it might have ended up in our classroom! We were using conjunctions to justify our ideas for why we thought it could be what we predicted. 

Year 4 cracked the mystery and decided it was a disassembled robot that could have teleported from another galaxy. 

They were right with their robot idea, as it was the Iron Man from the Ted Hughes narrative, which is our focus in English for this term. 

Year 4 made great detectives!
