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!
Our Home Learning Challenge this week is to record what we think Beckonscot Model Village is going to look like.

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!
