Who needs to go to France when you can pretend to be in a French restaurant right here in Team Starlings? We have had so much fun pretending to be waiting staff and visitors at a French restaurant this week, using our new vocabulary to order food and drinks. Next week, we will be moving onto…

In English, we have been researching biographies, as next week we are going to be writing a biography about astronaut Chris Hadfield. This week, we have been reading all about Neil Armstrong, and looking at the features of a biography in order to use them in our own. We have enjoyed researching…

Sunflowers for PSED talked together how to help myself go to sleep. We created amazing step by step guides.

The children have been discovering insects in the ground.

In English we are editing our writing by using red 'teacher' pens, to spot our mistakes and make corrections. We are then polishing our work by writing up the finished product in our neatest handwriting. We are so grown up checking and correcting our work all by ourselves.

In Maths we have been learning all about height and length. We used our new vocabulary- tall, taller, tallest, small, smaller, smallest and long, longer, longest. We then used the cubes to measure objects in our classroom. 

In PSHE we have been learning about how to be healthy and why. We discussed how we feel so much better about ourselves when we make healthy choices and look after our bodies.

We had a fantastic day for World Book Day! We loved dressing up as our favourite characters and sharing our books with our friends and teachers. We had such a lovely morning taking part in the World Book Day activities and we already can't wait for next year!

This week we have been learning all about the first emperor of Rome - Augustus. We began by exploring how Octavian (Augustus), Julius Caesar's nephew, defeated Mark Anthony and Cleopatra and how cunning he was as he grew in power.
