Apple have been busy bees this week! Reception have had a great time recognising, counting, and exploring 6, 7 and 8, and doubling numbers to 8, while year 1 have been measuring objects using non-standard units of measurement. In Art, we have practised making polka dots of different sizes to create effect and painted our pumpkins - they look amazing! Great work, Apple class!

In Maths, we’ve been diving into new methods to help us divide two‑digit numbers by one‑digit numbers. It’s been tricky  at times, but Hazel Class have shown incredible determination—no challenge is too big for this team! 💪✨ In Geography, things got really exciting! We learned how to use compasses, and then we even made our very own simple versions… and they actually worked! 🧭🎉 And here are some colourful snaps from last week’s Art sessions, where we carried on exploring l

In Apple, we have continued to learn about Yayoi Kusama. This week we created our own clay pumpkins. We developed our skills with clay, focussing on rolling and joining clay segments to form a final piece. They look amazing! Earlier this week, we were inspired by pictures of the Great Wall of China and as part of a morning task activity, created our own version. In Science we explored how materials can change shape, testing a range of materials. We reflected on whether these

This week, Hazel have been working really hard on their maths. They have been exploring arrays using play-doh and Lego, and practising multiplying a three-digit number by a one-digit number. We have also been looking at different methods we can use and discussing which ones we prefer. In Geography, we have been recognising symbols and using what we learnt to draw our own maps in art. You’ll have to wait until next week to see the beautiful map pictures!
