Today was our Sharing Assembly. It was fantastic! We all remembered our words and spoke clearly into the microphone. We sang two songs, 'Caterpillar Boogie' and 'Hello to all the children of the world' and some of us demonstrated gym balances at the front of the stage. Thank you to all our grown ups for coming to watch. We hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
This week we also had our sports afternoon. We took part in lots of different activities like jump rope and speed stacks and worked with the other children in our colour group. It was lots of fun!
On Thursday we let our butterflies go. We opened the top of the net and let them go above the meadow. Some of the butterflies didn't want to come out so Miss Howells put her hand in the net and they climbed onto her finger. She said that it felt tickley! Some of the butterflies then flew between the flowers on the meadow, they liked the blue flowers best.
In English we finished our fantasy stories. We made sure to follow our plans and thought carefully about what wow! words to use to keep the reader interested.
This week everybody in Beech Class is a Learning Owl so Plop is going to enjoy a whole week out and about in the classroom next week.
Next week in Topic we are going to be learning about homes in the past so this weeks home learning is to ask a friend or relative what their house was and record your findings in your own way.

The life cycle of a butterfly 01.06.16
This week in Science we have been learning about the life cycle of a butterfly. We found out that a caterpillar sheds its skin several times before building it its chrysalis and that metamorphosis is the name given to the transformation from caterpillar to a butterfly.
The caterpillars in our classroom came out of their chrysalis's this week and now they are beautiful butterflies. Our butterflies are called painted ladies.
In English we drew our fantasy settings onto our glass jars, using special glass pens. We thought about what we would be able to see in our fantasy settings and generated WOW! words to describe these.
In Maths we been learning how to find a quarter of a number. We found out that you have to share the number into four equal groups. "A quarter of 16 is 4."
In Dance we thought about the next part of our splash dance. We thought about how we could travel along the bottom of the swimming pool and what we might do when we needed to take a breathe and added these to the movements we generated last week.
In Computing we explored using the text tools on clicker 6 to change the font, colour and size of our writing.
In PSHE we watched a video about changes and thought about how our learning has changed during our time in Year One.
This week Plop is going home with Miss Howells. He is looking forward to telling her all about his adventures this term and can't wait to see some of the children at the Strawberry Fayre tomorrow!
Next Friday is our sharing assembly so this weekend Miss Howells would like us all to learn our words.

Towers 25.06.16
This week in Science we received a letter from Legoland. They wanted our help to build a new sky scraper for their model village. It was going to be the tallest sculpture they had ever built and had to pass the 'earthquake test.' We thought about what shape we were going to use and how we would make it strong and sturdy and then used cocktail sticks and midget gems to construct our towers. We had to really persevere as the taller our towers got the more wobbly they became!
In English this week we read a book called 'Molly goes to Rio' about a little girl who travels to Rio de Janiero in a magic suitcase. We thought about how we would get to Rio and what would be special about our fantasy object. We had lots of good ideas like a magic broomstick, a disappearing pot hole and a glowing gem stone. We also thought about what fantasy setting this would take us to and used WOW! words to describe it. Miss Howells was really impressed with our work and our fantastic pictures!
In Maths we used our addition and subtraction skills to add and subtract two digit numbers and solve problems. We thought about what resources and manipulatives we could use to support us in our working and explored using different strategies.
In Topic we thought about what we are like at present. We drew an outline of ourselves and wrote sentences to describe what we are like; Our favourite colour, number of brothers and sisters, age etc. We then read each others descriptions and saw if we could guess who's work it was.
In Computing we recorded our audio clips of our 'Jack and the Beanstalk' story. We practised our narration and sound effects and then used the MicPro app on the IPads to record each part of the story.
Exciting News!! - This week our live caterpillars built their chrysalis and our now transforming to butterflies. We can't wait to see what they look like!
This weeks Learning Owl is William. He has been chosen for persevering with a problem and working independently. Well done William, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop!
This weeks home learning challenge is to create your own addition or subtraction game.

Green Day and Busters Visit 17.06.16
We have had a very exciting week in Beech Class this week!
On Wednesday it was Green Day so we all came to school wearing something green and we didn't use electricity all day. We did lots of different activities across the day and we all had a packed lunch in the hall. This year green day coincided with world wind day so we all made a kite and flew them on the field. It was really fun but we had to make sure we weren't standing to close to each other so our kites didn't get tangled! In learning through play we made wind turbines and windmills out of junk modelling and made green day posters and leaflets.
Today we had a surprise visitor inelebration assembly...Buster! He came to thank everybody for taking part in his walk to school event and award Beech Class with the golden boot. We were all really excited to meet Buster and felt very proud of ourselves for being the class to walk to school the most.
In Maths this week we have been learning about measure. We helped the athletes who are going to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero by measuring the length, capacity and weight of different pieces of sporting equipment. We learnt that length is measured in centimetres and metres, capacity is measured in millilitres and litres and weight is measure in grams and kilograms.
In English we have been learning about Fantasy books. Fantasy books are books that are not based on reality - they can have fantasy characters, settings and objects.
In Dance this week we have been thinking about summer. We thought about what we like to do in the summer when the weather sis hot and started to put movements together to make a splash dance.
In Creative Writing we looked at a book called 'The Journey.' It is different to normal fiction books as it didn't have any writing. We looked at the illustrations and talked about what might be happening in the story. We then thought about what we would draw if we had a magic crayon and where it would take us. Miss Howells was really pleased to see lots of us using our imaginations.
This weeks Learning Owl is Tommy. He has been chosen for using his independence skills in English this week. Well done Tommy, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop!
Our home learning challenge this week is to design our own fantasy setting

May Day Dancing 27.05.16
Yesterday we performed our May Day Dance at the Community Tea and today we performed it for our friends and family. We remembered all the steps and moved in time to the Music. Miss Howells was very proud of us! Thank you to everyone who came, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
This week in English we used the facts and information we had collected about Space to write our non-chronological reports. We thought of interesting headings that would catch the readers attention and summarised what the report would be about in our introductions. We then used sub-headings to organise our facts and some of us added captions and diagrams.
This week in Maths we have learning how to collect and record data. We asked our friends what their favourite thing about Bekonscot Model Village was and recorded their answers as a tally. We then used our tallies to create a pictogram or bar graph and labelled the most and least popular choices.
In Science we predicted what would happen in our plant investigation. We thought about how limited sun/ water and air might effect a broad bean seed and recorded our ideas as diagrams. Mrs Byrne was very impressed with our fantastic ideas and the lovely presentation of our work!
In Topic we thought about what music/ sound effect we could add to the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. We split the story into five parts and thought about what we would say and which sound effects we could add. We can't wait to practise our parts of the story after half term and record it on the IPads.
Plop has been very busy this half term so is having a well needed rest over the half term. He is very pleased with all of the children for working so hard and using the Learning Owl skills in their work and can't wait for his next adventure. Well done Beech Class!
This weeks home learning challenge is to research Christopher Columbus and record your findings as a poster of fact sheet.
Well done Beech Class on another Fantastic half term! Have a lovely break and we look forward to seeing you back at school on Tuesday 7th June.

Bekonscot Model Village 20.05.16
This week we went on our school trip to Bekonscot Model Village. We walked around and looked at all of the models before doing a quiz. We had to look very carefully at the different buildings to find the answers. Mrs Griffiths team completed the quiz first!Our favourite things were:
"The wall of death ride in the fairground. There was a bike going round and round in the inside."
"The coal mine. The coal was going along a conveyer belt and fell into a pit."
"The rugby pitch, the players were doing a scrum."
"Looking at the funfair. There were lots of different rides."
"Watching the man jumping through the ring of fire in the fairground area."
"I liked playing in the playground."
"I liked the football pitch. The score was 0-0."
"Looking at all of the different houses."
"Looking at the horse racing, the police man was chasing a man who had stolen a hand bag."
In Maths this week we have been learning how to multiply and divide. When you multiply you add the same number again: 2+2+2+2+2 = 10 5 x 2 = 10 and when you divide you share objects/ numbers into equal groups: 16 divided by 4 is 4.
In English we have been learning about Non-chronological report. These are reports that are not written in time order. We used books, fact sheets and the IPads to find out facts about Space and recorded our findings as facts. We then thought about what sub-headings we could use and used these to organise our facts.
In Gymnastics we explored different ways of stretching and curling our bodies. We had to remember to point our toes and engage our core muscles.
In Topic we looked at a map of the UK and used this to name the countries and capital cities. The countries are England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and the capital cities are London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast.
This weeks Learning Owl is Akeem. He has been chosen for approaching his learning with a positive 'I can do it' attitude and persevering with a problem. Well done Akeem, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop!
This weeks home learning challenge is to record 5 things that you do outside.
Have a lovely weekend and we look forward to seeing lots of our friends at the disco and fun run!

The Seven Continents 13.05.16
This week in Topic we have been learning about the world around us. We found out that the world has seven continents and five oceans.
The Seven Continents are:
South America
North America
Asia
Europe
Africa
Antarctica
Australia
The Five Oceans are:
Indian ocean
Arctic Ocean
Pacific Ocean
Southern Ocean
Atlantic Ocean
We explored continent bags which were full of pictures, photos, books, artefacts and recorded what we found out in our own way.
In Creative writing we wrote a story about a journey to a new world. We thought about what lands we might find in Space and who we might meet there. We created a story plan and then used this to write our stories. Miss Howells was really pleased to see us using our imaginations.
In Maths this week we have been subtracting a one digit number from a two digit number. We had to remember to start with the biggest number and explored using different strategies to support us in our working. Today we did subtraction word problems. We thought about the important information in the problem and used this to write our number sentence.
We have thought of a word problem together, can you solve it?
There were 17 crabs on the beach. 9 crawl away. How many are left?
This week we practised our May dance with Oak class. We can't wait to perform it to our grown ups in 2 weeks time!
This weeks Learning Owl is John. He has been chosen for really challenging himself in his learning this week. Well done John, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop!

Jump Jump Jump 06.05.16
In Gym this week we used the jumps that we have been learning to make a sequence of movements. We chose a jump, a roll and a balance and put them together. Miss Howells was really pleased to see us persevering with our jumps and engaging our core.
In English this week we did hot seating. We took on the role of different characters from 'Jim and the Beanstalk' and answered questions about the story. We wanted to know why Jim wasn't afraid of the Giant and why the Giant likes to eat fried boys.
In Maths we read a story called 'One is a Snail and Ten is a crab.' It was all about the number of legs that different creatures have and how these can be used to make different numbers:
One is a snail
Two is a person
Three is a person and a snail
Four is a dog
Five is a dog and a snail
Six is a fly
Seven is a fly and a snail
Eight is a spider
Nine is a spider and a snail
Ten is a crab.
We used our addition skills to find out what creatures we might see if we saw 10 legs in total.
How many different combinations can you find?
In Music we have been learning how to follow a score. A score tells you when to play your instruments and when to leave a rest. We sang a song called 'Collecting Coconuts' and created a variety of different scores for the beats at the end.
On Thursday we went to Forest Schools. Mrs Stewart split us into three groups of ten and we did three different activities. We made muddy creations in the Muddy Kitchen, drew maps of the forest schools area from a birds eye view and made stick Jim and stick Giants and Beanstalks. It was so much fun!
This weeks Learning Owl is Benjamin. He has been chosen for using his independence skills and challenging himself within his learning. Well done Plop, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop.
Todays Home Learning Challenge is to practise counting in 2's, 5's and 10's.
Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine!

Rocket seeds 29.04.16
This week we had a very exciting delivery. We got two packets of Rocket seeds one from Earth and another that had been to Space with Tim Peak. We don't know which seeds are which so we are growing them to find out. We think that the space seeds won't grow as much as the other seeds because they had no gravity when they were in space.
We will keep you updated as to what happens as the seeds grow!
In English this week we have been learning about Traditional Tales. These are stories that have been told for hundreds of years for example; The Three Little Pigs, The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and Little Red Riding Hood. We read two different versions of the Jack and the Beanstalk and an alternative version called Jim and the Beanstalk. We compared the characters and events and recorded these in a table.
In Maths we have been ordering numbers. We practised putting numbers into order from smallest to biggest and thought about where these would go on a number line.
In Gymnastics we have been learning how to jump. Last term we learnt how to do a star jump and today we learnt how to do a tuck, a pike and a straddle jump. We need to remember to push our legs out in front of us and land with our knees bend.
In Dance we have started to learn our May day dance. We walked through the first few steps and practised these with the music.
This weeks Learning Owl is Alice. She has been chosen for using her independence skills and persevering with a problem.Well done Alice, we hope you have a lovely weekend with Plop!
This weeks Home Learning Challenge is to design a poster for the Redbourn in Bloom Horticultural Society poster competition. The theme is gardens so it needs to be colourful and eye catching but should not feature any text. It needs to be A4 and please write your name and class on the back.

Wonders Of The World 22.04.16
It's great to be back at school and see all of our friends again. We all had a lovely Easter holidays and did lots of exciting things!
This week we started our new topic 'Wonders of the world.' Mrs Griffiths and Miss Howells have put a big world map on our topic board. We can already recognise some of the places we have been on holiday but can't wait to find out more about the countries, continents and oceans. All week we have been busy showing off our learning. We wrote a recount about our holidays and retold the story of 'The Runaway Chapati.' We can't believe how much our writing has improved since the start of the year.
We also drew a self portrait. "A self portrait is when you draw a picture of yourself.' We looked carefully at ourselves in the mirror and tried to add detail to our pictures.'
Our Learning Owl this week is Isabelle. She has been chosen for approaching all of her learning with a fantastic 'I can do it' attitude. Well done Isabelle, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop. Well done to all of the children who took part in the Easter challenge, the miniature gardens looked fantastic! We enjoyed looking at the creations by all of the children from nursery to year two and are delighted that Erin received highly commended in the judging.
This week's home learning is to research the seven continents of the world and record your findings in your own way.
Have a lovely weekend and good luck to any friends and family running the marathon on Sunday!

A special birthday and RE day 01.04.16
On Wednesday it was Mrs Byrne's Birthday. We all decorated a piece of bunting which the teachers hung in her office and we learnt a special song and made her a card. She was very surprised!
Yesterday was RE day, we compared Easter and Holi celebrations and took part in lots of exciting activities. We did a really fun Indian dancing workshop and made a simnel cake with Mrs Burgess. We put eleven marzipan balls on the top for the disciples. In Learning through plan we decorated pictures of Indian Elephants, drew Holi pictures on the computer and did some writing about the two celebrations.
In Computing we learnt how to copy and paste pictures. We remembered to use the right side of the mouse to copy the picture and the left side to open documents.
In PSHE we thought about what to do if we feel worried. We decided that you could talk to an adult or parent, take deep breathes, read a book or have a cuddle.
Well done Beech Class on another fantastic term! Plop is off on holiday but is looking forward to his next adventure after the holidays.
There is no home learning this week as we would to take part in the Easter Challenge and create your own miniature garden. We look forward to seeing your creations on the first day back!
We hope everybody has a lovely Easter Holidays and we look forward to seeing you again on Tuesday 19th April.

In Learning through plan we decorated pictures of Indian Elephants, drew Holi pictures on the computer and did some writing about the two celebrations.
In Computing we learnt how to copy and paste pictures. We remembered to use the right side of the mouse to copy the picture and the left side to open documents.
In PSHE we thought about what to do if we feel worried. We decided that you could talk to an adult or parent, take deep breathes, read a book or have a cuddle.
Well done Beech Class on another fantastic term! Plop is off on holiday but is looking forward to his next adventure after the holidays.
There is no home learning this week as we would to take part in the Easter Challenge and create your own miniature garden. We look forward to seeing your creations on the first day back!
We hope everybody has a lovely Easter Holidays and we look forward to seeing you again on Tuesday 19th April.

Rise and Shine 24.03.16
This week we had four performances of our play 'Rise and Shine.' We all remembered our lines and made sure to use loud speaking and singing voices. Lots of our friends and family came to watch, it was really good fun!
A very BIG thank you to our grown ups for our fantastic costumes!
In English we wrote instructions to make an Easter nest. We made sure to put them into order and used bossy words to tell the reader what to do:
1) First pour the melted chocolate on to the rice krispies.
2)Stir the mixture until all of the rice krispies are covered in chocolate.
3) Put two teaspoons of the mixture into a cup cake case.
4) Take a mini egg and put it on the top of your nest.
In PSHE we thought about how to make someone feel welcome. We watched a video about a little boy called Fred who was worried about starting at a new school. We thought about ways of making him feel welcome and wrote him a letter inviting him to come and visit Beech class. We also thought about what it means to feel proud and when we have felt proud of ourselves.
In Maths we continued our work on time. We practised making o'clock and half past times and then recorded these on blank clock faces. It was a bit tricky to remember which hand was the minute hand and which was the hour hand but we persevered and now we can do it!
Tomorrow is Good Friday so Plop has started his adventure a day early. This weeks Learning Owl is Alfie. He has been chosen for his fantastic attitude towards his learning. Well done Alfie, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop.
Happy Easter everybody! Enjoy the long weekend and Easter celebrations and we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

What's the time Mr Wolf? 18.03.16
This week in Maths we have been learning about time. We made a giant clock on the playground and took turns to be the minute and hour hand. We found out that: "When it is o'clock the minute hand is pointing at the twelve and when it is half past it is pointing at the six."
In English we continued our poetry work. We read the poem 'Hickory Dickory Dock' and thought about what words rhymed with the different times the clock struck.
One: fun, bun, done
Two: Shoe, Few, Phew, chew, moo, queue
Three: me, tea, knee, key, bee
Four: door, core, more
Five: Dive, drive, hive
We then used the words we had generated to write our own verse for the poem:
Hickory Dickory Dock,
The Mouse ran up the clock,
The clock struck six,
The mouse did some tricks,
Hickory Dickory Dock.
In Science this week we carried out our chocolate investigation.
We wanted to know what would happen when you put chocolate into cold, hot and fizzy water and this is what we found out:
"The chocolate in the hot water went like hot chocolate. It was all gooey."
"The chocolate in the fizzy water went fizzy. It had bubbles all over it!"
"Nothing happened to the chocolate in the cold water."
Miss Howells then showed us how to create a freezer using salt and ice and we put the melted chocolate in the freezer to see what would happen.
This week was our last week of rehearsals for our Year 1 play 'Rise and Shine.'
We are now ready to perform it in front of an audience and can't wait to do a dress rehearsal in our costumes on Monday!
Today we all came to school in our sporty clothes. We ran twice around the school to raise money for Sports Relief. It was SO FUN!
Our Learning Owl this week is Caeden. He has been chosen for his fantastic Maths work. Well done Caeden, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop!

Rosie's Walk 11.03.16
This week in Maths we read the story 'Rosie's Walk.' It had lots of positional and directional language in it. We gave directions to our partners to help them complete Rosie's journey. We went across the yard, around the pond, over the haystack, past the mill, through the fence and under the beehives.
In English we ate a magic bean. It made us shrink to the size of an ant. We thought about what dangers we might face and how we could get back to our normal size and used our ideas to write a story. Miss Howells was really impressed with our of use of imagination!
In Computing we learnt how to edit our photographs. We changed the colour and size of our photos and added a frame.
In Science we used our observation skills to find out how caramel is made. We found out that when you heat sugar it melts and turns brown.
We have been very busy rehearsing our play. The songs sound fantastic and we have been busy practising our words. We can't wait for our grown ups to come and see us!
This week's Learning Owl is Isabella. She has been chosen for using her independence skills. Well done Isabella, we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop!
Next week in Maths we will be learning about Time. If you have a watch please wear it to school next week.

Money, Money, Money! 04.03.16
In Maths this week we have been learning about Money.
We read the story 'The Great Pet Sale' by Mick Inkpen and thought about what pets we would buy.
"A rat, an anteater and a koala cost 10p."
"Two boxes of little brown creatures cost 20p and four puffins also cost 20p."
"A penguin, a turtle and a rat cost 9p."
This week is Book week! We have been stopping and reading at different times of the day and sharing our favourite books and poems with our friends. Today some of us dressed up as book characters.
In English we have been learning about Poetry. We read three different poems about seeds. We worked on using expression and following the rhythm of the poems before performing as a class.
On World Book day we got together with our Year 4 buddies. We read the book 'Cat in the Hat' by Dr Seuss. We then created our own cat in the hat and wrote a verse about them:
"My cat is wearing a hat,
My cat is very fat.
He sometimes like to hold a cricket bat
and he has a sleep on the mat."
On Wednesday we had a visitor called 'Professor Pango Mango.' He was very funny!
Professor Pango Mango got different hats out of his bag and different children tried them on. We then used these to come up with our own poems.
In Computing we have been learning how to take photographs using a digital camera.
We took photos of things we liked on the playground and explored using the zoom in, zoom out and delete button. We had to remember to keep the camera still so our photo was in focus.
This weeks Learning Owl is Liam. He has been chosen for really persevering with his Maths work. Well done Liam, have a great weekend with Plop!

Halves and Quarters 26.02.16
This week in Maths we have been learning about halves and quarters.Halves are two equal parts and quarters are four equal parts. We cut pieces of fruit and vegetables into halves and quarters and shared them for our snack.
In English we wrote the story Katie Morag delivers the mail. We used our story plan to help us and made sure that we included all the events and characters from the beginning, middle and end of the story.
In Topic this week we have been geography detectives. We looked at pictures of different places in Redbourn and sorted them into natural and man-made. Man-made means it has been made by people rather than nature.
In gymnastics we learnt how to perform a star jump. You need to remember to bend your knees when taking off and landing and straighten your arms and legs when your in the air.
In Music we have started to learn the songs for our Year One performance. We can't wait to find out our parts and start rehearsing!
This weeks Learning Owl is Heidi. She has been chosen for using her independence skills in her English work. Well done Heidi, we hope you have a great weekend with Plop!
Next week is Book Week and our focus is poetry so this week for home learning we would like you to tell us about your favourite poem.

3D shapes 12.02.16
This week in Maths we have been learning to name and describe 3D shapes.
The D in '3D' means dimensional. This means that it has height, width and length so can stand up on its own.
Did you know?...Vertices is another word for corners.
A cube has 8 vertices, a cylinder has 0 vertices and a pyramid has 4 vertices.
In English this week we have thinking about the events in stories. We recalled the events from a familiar Katie Morag story and used a picture to predict what might be happening in a story we haven't read. Miss Howells was really pleased to see that we all remembered to use capital letters and full stops.
In Creative Writing we thought about what it would be like to visit Struay for the day. We used our imaginations to think about what we might see, who we might meet and what might happen.
In Gymnastics we created a sequence of movements using a roll and a balance. We thought about how to stand and finish our sequence and worked on using our core to support and strengthen our movements.
In Science we recorded our findings from our Sound Investigation. We found out that the bell could be heard from the furthest distance as the sound travelled for the longest. We also found out that Annie could hear all three sounds from the furthest away.
In Celebration Assembly today we got the library award. This means that we have borrowed and returned the most books from the library!
Miss Howells has decided that all of the children in Beech Class deserve to the be the Learning Owl this week for their fantastic learning this half term. Plop is going to have a hot bath and rest over the holidays but is looking forward to his next adventure.
This weeks Home Learning challenge is to go for a walk around Redbourn and record what you like/ dislike.
We hope that everybody in Beech Class has a lovely half term and we look forward to seeing each other again on Monday 22nd February.

Katie Morag
This week in English we have been learning about familiar and unfamiliar settings.
We looked at the settings in Katie Morag and used WOW! words to describe them:
In Maths we have been learning about Measure.
We used rulers to measure the length of different socks. Katie Morag needed our help to find a pair of socks she could wear with her new school shoes. Length is measured in centimetres.
We then weighed the socks to find out what stamp we needed to send them to Scotland. Weight is measured in grams.
To say thank you Katie Morag sent us some of Uncle Matthews magic potion. We used measuring jugs to measure the capacity of different containers and find one big enough to hold 30 cups of potion. Capacity is measured in millilitres.
In Topic we have started to make our socks. We used our designs to select the tools and materials we needed and used a running stitch to join the two pieces of material together. Miss Howells and Mrs Griffiths were really impressed by our sewing!
In Dance we have been creating a dance about the journey of a seed. We took turns to be the rain and explored movements to show the seed growing roots and a shoot.
This week's Learning Owl is Luca. He has been chosen for approaching all of his learning with a positive 'I can do it' attitude. Well done Luca! We hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop.
This week's Home Learning Challenge is to find out about the artist Stephen Wiltshire.
We looked at the settings in Katie Morag and used WOW! words to describe them:
- "Katie Morag's bedroom is a midden."
- "There are three fluffy cats in Katie Morag's bedroom."
- "Struay is surrounded by soft yellow sand and crashing blue waves."
- "The sky is white, yellow and pink."

Ready steady roll...
This week in gymnastics we have been learning how to roll.
We learnt how to do an egg roll and a pencil roll:
For a egg roll you have to hold your knees to your chest, tuck your head in and roll sideways.
For a pencil roll you need to stretch your arms behind your head, point your toes and use your tummy muscles to roll sideways.
In English we have been reading The Katie Morag stories. Katie Morag is a little girl who lives on Isle of Struay. She lives in a post office with her Mum and Dad, Mr and Mrs McColl and her brother Liam. She also has two Grannies, one that lives on the island and one that lives on the mainland.
In Maths we have been learning to add and subtract one and two digit numbers. One digit numbers are numbers smaller than 10 and two digit numbers are numbers bigger than 10.
When you are subtracting you need to start with the biggest number!
In Topic this week we have been exploring different materials. We found out that things can be made out of paper, wood, stone, glass, rubber, materials and lots of other materials. We also found out that rubber is strong and opaque, glass is fragile and transparent and materials is soft and flexible.
This weeks Learning Owl is Deahn, he has been chosen for challenging himself in his learning and working well independently. Well done Deahn we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop!
This weekend in the RSPB big bird watch. For your Home Learning challenge we would like you to spend an hour recording what birds come in and out of your garden. I wonder whether anyone will see a red kite?

Our Senses - 15th January 2016
This week a science workshop came to school. It was all about our senses. We did lots of different activities using our five senses.
Our five senses are:
Taste
Touch
Sight
Hearing
Smell
We found out that :
"If you see something and it is moving really quickly your brain can't tell you what it is."
"If you do exercise your heart beat gets faster."
"If you touch something your skin tells you what it feels like."
"Sounds travels through your ears then a message is sent to your brain and your brain tells you what the sound is."
In English we have been learning about non-chronological reports. We explored a range of different reports and looked for key features; Titles, subheadings, photographs, diagram etc. We also thought about different sub-headings we could use and what information we put under these.
In Maths this week we have been using a variety of different maths skills. We thought about careful counting skills and how we could use these when counting a large group of object, we practised ordering numbers from smallest to biggest and we used mathematical symbols to compare two numbers.
We found out that when comparing numbers using greater than > and less than < symbols the widest part of the arrow always faces the biggest number:
50 > 11
9 < 14
55 > 33
In PSHE we created steps to success for achieving our challenge leaves.
We were very excited about handwriting this week as we learnt our first join! We can't wait to use it in our writing.
This weeks Learning Owl is Erin. She has been chosen for her fantastic attitude towards her learning. Well done Erin we hope you enjoy your weekend with Plop!
The home learning challenge this week is to create a mind map of everything you have found out about your senses.
