The children have been busy this week, as usual!
We have continued our poetry unit this week. The children have been writing Ocean Inspired Shape Poems again. I have been very impressed with their creativity when putting their poems into a shape. We have also listened to the story of the 'Snail and the Whale' to give us some ideas.
In maths we have been solving more 'Open Ended' Puzzles. Once again, the children have shown great determination and resilience trying to find the solutions.
In our topic work we have been learning about Captain James Cooke.We talked about the places he explored and what he brought back, including plants. This linked nicely with our trip to 'Harlow Carr Gardens' on Wednesday.
The children all had an amazing time on the trip. We spent the day exploring the gardens and had a workshop specifically exploring the trees, plants and wildlife in their Woodland Area. The lady delivering the workshop was very impressed with their Science knowledge of all things to do with plants, as was I.
Hopefully the children have nearly finished their Garden Homework Projects. Some children have already brought theirs in and they look amazing! We will be displaying them next Wednesday after school. We hope that you can come along and look at the children's creations.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.

Another week that has whizzed by in a flash!
In English, this week, we have started our unit of work on Shape Poems. We have been looking at some different shapes poems and talking about how poems are written differently to other pieces of writing. We talked lots about lines of poetry and not sentences. The children worked in pairs to write their own Ocean Themed Shape Poem. They used their purple pens to edit and improve them and then wrote a neat copy. Next week we will be writing some more poems.
In maths we have been solving some puzzle type problems. We have solved puzzles using numicon and digit cards.
The highlight of this week was our visit from 'Prickly Pigs'. This Otley based charity came on Thursday to talk to the children about the work they do with hedgehogs and how the children can help to protect and keep them safe. Thank you to all of you for your generous donations of cat and dog food.
We also had our Make The Rules Day today which the children all enjoyed.
Next week we have our trip to Harlow Carr Gardens. The children have all been given a note today with important information and reminders about this trip. Any questions please come and ask.
I can't believe we only have 3 more weeks left. I am sure they will be very busy ones.
Happy Weekend!

A very hot end to the week!
The highlight of this week was our 'Skipping Festival' on Wednesday at Leeds Trinity University. The children all had an amazing time and skipped their hearts out! We had a few wins too both for individual skips and both group skips. The children all showed great resilience and determination. Most importantly though they all enjoyed themselves. I was very proud of them all!
We have continued our writing, in English, based on the book 'Somebody Swallowed Stanley'. The children have planned and written their own versions of the story creating their own main character. They enjoyed sharing their stories with each other saying what they enjoyed about other's stories.
In maths we have been recapping on 2D and 3D shapes. We have been using mathematical vocabulary to describe their properties.
Next week will see us going into the final 4 weeks of the term and year. We still have lots to do including our next DT project which is to plan and make our own bunting.
Enjoy your sunny weekend.
