It has been lovely meeting with you all this week reflecting on the Reception year and looking ahead to Year 1.
On Tuesday the boys had a super Sports Day. They all showed great sportsmanship:

It was wonderful to see how proud the boys were showing you their work after Sports morning.

This week in Maths we have looked at place value with two digit numbers.

For Maths homework this week, could you please use your laminated 100 square and pick some two digit numbers at random. Look at the first digit within the number and count out how many ‘tens’ it has using your fingers by counting aloud in tens. Next, look at the second digit to identify how many ‘ones’ there are and then count out how many ones there are using your fingers.

This morning we visited the laboratory to look at the ‘curiosity window’. Albert kindly donated lots of fascinating items for the boys to look at, including a hornet’s and robin’s nest with eggs intact.

The boys enjoyed showing their ‘Been There Done It’ scrapbooks to Mrs Price and Mrs Turk:

The boys have been busy practising for their play. They look forward to showing it to you next Tuesday at 9am.

As there are just two weeks left of this term, there will be no more star boys.

Have a lovely weekend- enjoy the sunshine!

Today we had a fantastic trip to the RAF museum. The boys completed various trails and took part in a ‘Teddy’s Transport’ workshop; they searched the museum for Teddy’s missing RAF uniform, whilst learning information about the aircraft along the way. Once found, they took part in a medal ceremony and learnt how to salute! They loved travelling on the coach and having a packed lunch! The boys were very good all day.

       

This week in Maths, the boys continued to learn about missing numbers. They filled in missing numbers within subtraction number sentences.

The boys enjoyed making paper aeroplanes. They carefully followed instructions learning how to fold the paper. We went outside and had lots of fun testing our planes. Afterwards, we wrote about our morning.

The starboys are as follows:

Monday: Reiss

Tuesday: Sebastian F

Wednesday: Sebastian S

Thursday: No Starboy

Friday: No Starboy

Have a good weekend!

This week half of RS managed to dodge the rain when they went to Welly time. They matched natural materials to colour swatches:

The boys have been practising for our school play with RG, which they are all enjoying very much.

This week in maths we have continued to learn about estimating. The boys estimated amounts of items as well as estimating lengths and distances. We used multilink cubes to estimate and check the length of different types of small world transport toys. Furthermore, the boys practised filling in missing numbers. Please fill in the missing numbers at home:

2, 4, _, 8, _, 12.

5, 10, _, 20, _, 30

10, 20, 30, _, 50, 60, _, 80.

5 + _ = 9

7 + _ = 10

10 + _ = 12

_ + 2 = 10

_ + 5 = 15

In Literacy, the boys were learning about list writing. They wrote lists about different types of transport they have travelled in. They also wrote sentences about their favourite types of transport..

Please prepare a song for show and tell next week. The starboys for next week are as follows:

Monday: Kailen

Tuesday: Kiaan

Wednesday: Nathaniel

Thursday: Noah

Friday: Reiss

We hope you have a lovely weekend and a wonderful Father’s Day. Enjoy the School Fete!

A warm welcome back to you all!

We have started our new topic of ‘Transport’ and the boys have been enjoying learning about trains. We have been finding out the answers to the transport questions you thought of during half term.

During Expressive Arts and Design the boys have enjoyed getting messy by colour mixing using their hands!

This week in Maths we have learnt about estimating. For homework this week please could you find different sized containers and fill them with varying objects such as stones, coins or marbles. Estimate how many are in the container and record your estimation. Once you’ve estimated, please count to compare your estimate to the amount. Please comment on this blog post to say how you got on. Have fun!

Today we took part in the coin mosaic challenge. We had lots of fun and showed great team work to make our design. The theme was ‘Our planet’. Thank you very much for all the coin donations.

For show and tell next week, please could you prepare a song to sing to your class. The starboys for next week are as follows:

Monday: Harvey

Tuesday: Hugo K

Wednesday: Hugo S

Thursday: Jacob

Friday: Joseph

Have a lovely weekend!
